"#Israel is staging a massive offensive across four major refugee camps in the north of the #WestBank. The raids, at their height, pushed 40,000 people from their homes. Many are now sheltering with relatives in neighboring villages, others racking up debt renting apartments while they wait to return.

#Israeli officials, meanwhile, have said those displaced will not be allowed to go back for at least a year."

    Is this some sort of established lemmy jargon? Like calling people “NPCs” or “normies”? 🤨

      It’s open-source software development jargon.

      Mainline is the location where the original software has its source code. A fork is when someone decides they want to modify said software their own way and so they make a copy.

        Well, sort of. A fork is a copy with its own mainline that may or may not diverge from the original source.
