I would put it in the top area right after "Pull Requests". It currently isn't in the main navigation area and is very often under the page fold, making it hard to find unless you already know where it is.
Edit: On a standard 1080p screen, the Releases section for this repo isn't even visible without scrolling....
It is really hard to find application releases on Github though. That is something that could be improved.

Ebay, Cragslist. Doesn't fully fit in with the sub, but, it's what I do when I get too many.
The core reason the joint German-Soviet Union invasion of Poland is relevant is it shows the Soviets working with the Nazis. You portray them as being the first and primary countries willing to fight the Nazis, yet they were literally partnering with the Nazis for years while others had declared war on them. It wasn't until Germany invaded the Soviet Union that the Soviets switched teams.
If that is a point we can't agree on, then there isn't much more going to happen here.
Edit: going to just post the timeline again:
- 23 Aug 1939 - Germany and Soviet Union sign a non-agression pact
- 1 Sept 1939 - Germany invades Poland
- 3 Sept 1939 - France and UK declare war on Germany (Soviets still have a non-aggression pact with Germany)
- 17 Sept 1939 - Soviet Union invades Poland (Soviets still have a non-aggression pact with Germany)
- 10 May 1940 - Germany invades France (Soviets still have a non-aggression pact with Germany)
- 22 Jun 1941 - Germany invades the Soviet Union and the non-agression pact between the Soviets and Germans is terminated
Should European countries have just sat on their ass and let Hitler do whatever he wanted?
They kinda did and that’s entirely my point: capitalist nations won’t do much to fight fascism. World War 2 wasn’t won by capitalist western-style democracies, it was communists, 80% of Nazi soldiers were defeated in the Eastern front!
Timeline:
- 23 Aug 1939 - Germany and Soviet Union sign a non-agression pact
- 1 Sept 1939 - Germany invades Poland

No, you don't get to say countries like England "won’t do much to fight fascism", despite being at war with Germany for years, while praising the Soviets, despite having a non-agressin pact with Germany for those same years
provided the Red Army would be able to cross Polish and Romanian territory; both countries refused
It's not surprising Poland didn't want Soviet troops in their country, the Soviets literally invaded them shortly later.
Soviets were BY FAR the most antifascist country in Europe
Again, England and France declared war on Germany in 1939, and for those two years England was at war with Germany, the Soviets had a non-agression pact. No, you don't get to be "by far" the most of something when others beat you out by two years.
The Soviets didn’t invade what we think of when we say Poland.
the rest of lands were actually liberated from Polish occupation and returned to the Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian socialist republics
Correct, they were annexed into the Soviet Union. Much liberation by the Soviets there! These countries weren't free until FIVE DECADES LATER when the Soviet Union fell.
The Soviets didn’t invade Poland together with the Nazis, they invaded a bit more than two weeks after the Nazi invasion
Germany and the Soviet Union literally agreed to partition Poland between the two of them as part of their non-aggression pact signed before either invaded Poland. Don't downplay what the Soviets did here.
the Soviets were fully aware of the dangers of Nazism and fought against it earlier than anyone
France and the UK declared war on Germany in 1939, the Soviet Union had a non-agression pact with Germany for TWO MORE YEARS. Come now, claiming the Soviets were fighting against Nazism before England just makes you look bad. These are easy to look up dates.
I know you are bringing up the Spanish Civil War here, but that was vastly overshadowed by their non-agression pact and mutual invasion of Poland with Germany.
The overarching point here is you seem to be doing quite a bit of apologizing for the bad shit the Soviet Union did. It's quite honest to say the Soviets fought against the Germans in WWII, but it's not honest to say they were doing it before anyone else or to downplay them working with the Germans by mutually invading Poland. Both are true, and and honest look at history includes both the good things and the bad things the Soviet Union did in WWII.
A bunch of my friends thought the logo change was dumb, too.
A bit rude to call them bots. ;p
Yeah, read it and gave it that updoot, but have been busy today. Will respond. :)
Focusing on this is usually a pretext for doing much less energy transition work than China does.
Please redirect praise from China to countries who actually deserve it; like France, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. It's just fucking wild to praise China, a country that gets most of their power from coal, for doing well on power generation while shitting on a country that has done more than them.
Showing a snapshot of coal usage also makes no sense in this context.
It's the most tangible way to show who and who is not taking this seriously. Power generation used to be heavily coal in every country. The countries who have replaced it with better power generation sources are taking things much more seriously than the others.
USA is the only country where I hear the president say that green needs to go and fossil fuels are the way to go.
Meanwhile, Germany's on-lining coal plants. Actions >>>>> words
You know who is taking things seriously? France. They are kicking fucking ass. And it's because they went nuclear, where they get 70% of their power.
you’ll see that the share of green fuel is actually rising in China
Praising China for green fuel while their primary power generation is coal is fucking wild. It's certainly better they are improving things, but until they do, everyone else with a better shade deserves more praise than you are giving China. Give that praise to France, Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
Meanwhile, large chunks of the world still use coal as their primary power source. Hell, Germany's coal share is higher than the US'.
USA is pretty much the biggest country actively fighting against better methods in favor of fossil fuels, so I’d say it’s an accurate statement
From how darkly colored the countries are, the countries actively fighting against better methods are China, India, and South Africa, among others. Unless of course you don't consider running coal as your primary power source 'actively fighting against better methods'.
Why can’t the airship automatically raise and lower itself?
It doesn't just need to be lowered, that would leave it exposed still. It needs to deflated/reinflated every storm, while also having someone strap the carefully folded deflated bits down, or put itself into a very expensive massive hangar every storm. Are these possible, yes, but again, it needs to be economical, not just possible.
Weather has always been a severe issue with airships. It's the main reason you don't see them filling the sky.
With a traditional wind turbine, if the wind speeds get too high, the turbine locks the rotation and feathers the blades. For the airship however, people will have to manually take it down and later erect it again. Hopefully they get to it in time, otherwise it's going to violently take itself down and/or fly off. Either way, that is a bunch of extra cost incurred on a regular basis.
Strikes me as an impractical solution.
Not Ace Combat 3, but the final mission music in 4 kicks ass.
I can’t remember one single time in which European nations have armed themselves and used their armies for a good cause
World War 2
Should European countries have just sat on their ass and let Hitler do whatever he wanted? They actually tried that, the Peace For Our Time declaration in 1938 made by England after Hitler took over large parts of Czechoslovakia. Then Hitler did what always happens when a dictator is appeased, they go for more...and invaded Poland with the Soviet Union's help.
Quite a few European countries armed themselves and used their armies for a good cause in that war. Unless you don't consider stopping Hitler and the Holocaust a good cause.
Bringing it back to modern day, this is Putin's second invasion of Ukraine. Appeasing dictators does not work, again this is Putin's second invasion of Ukraine. Dictators only understand force; force must be met with force; force is being met with force.
Unfortunately, Russia started and continues their war of conquest in Europe and the USA isn't helping nearly as much as they used to. Europe is the only one who can pick up the slack. And they are.

Nothing but to agree.
Cancer existed before cigarettes. Therefore, using the 'meme's' argument: "anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancer is entirely full of crap”.
But we are way past the point of facts.
Clearly, since this 'meme' is using some real bad arguments to try to prove facts.

No, it just makes you look dumb for refuting a false statement with another bad argument.

The logic of the 'meme' is just bad. Something being identified before something else does not mean the second thing cannot create the first.
Cancer existed before cigarettes, yet cigarettes still cause cancer. Using this 'meme's' logic, "anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancers is entirely full of crap".
Tip....at a buffet? What the hell are you tipping for?
Even in America that is pretty wtf.
