Nothing, nor is there any issue with big / little endian, no relation to “Indian”, which is a different word with a different pronunciation.

Some of those things do matter, like “black / white” meaning “bad / good” as it affects the way we think about those colours, and “master / slave” is dependent on context.

Concussions will do that to ya /j

GDM won’t be able to launch X11 environments after GNOME 50 is my understanding.

It’s tin plated steel, akschyually 🤓

That’s really funny and really sad at the same time.

Most Canadians know all US states, and I’m fairly certain I can match 95% of state postal abbreviations to their corresponding state (save for the ones starting with M, good luck lol). I’d like to see Americans try to put the huge landmass that is Manitoba (MB) on a map 😄

I don’t think I’ve ever been confused between what’s Mexico and what’s USA, and I feel like uneducated racist people may just be going off of the name, like Nevada / Arizona being spanish names and New Mexico referencing Mexico.

Oh yeah no it’s a big, fat hint haha

My first thought for some reason was “northern Manitoba” lol

Aroace people:

I’m not talking about this website specifically, a lot of sites ask for way too much info.

I just click away when I see a login wall, regardless of requirements. If I really want to read it, I use 12ft.io or similar.

Edit: Here’s a wall-less link: https://archive.ph/mFHH8 I really don’t feel like setting up an alt email address just to read a single article.

Indeed it is, but I’m concerned about the above, and thus don’t create user accounts willy nilly.

I could use a fake name and fake email, but a lot of sites require that you validate your phone number too, and it’s starting to become a lot of commodifiable data points.

Try the Canadian French layout, it’s a much saner French layout IMO.

It focuses on communication, so I use it in combination with the US layout so I can type programming-related characters.

Trust me, I get the feeling.

I’m only arguing from a legal standpoint, where it’s more appropriate to have CC0.

CC0 = Everyone owns it, no one can claim rights to it

Copyleft = No one owns it, the code owns itself and claims rights to itself

Since everyone paid for it, everyone owns it.

If no one paid for it, or if a single owning entity is feeling benevolent, then copyleft is appropriate.

I assume it would be difficult to get the consent of every US taxpayer to license this as copyleft, I believe CC0 (or proprietary, unfortunately) is the rightful default when in this situation. It’s debatable whether any government code should be proprietary, save for deployment secrets.

It’s generally for user data collection / sale and adding you to their marketing list.

Seems correct to me. It was paid for by the US public, using US public funds, it belongs in the public domain.

I also wish they had GPL’d it, but I’m not sure this would be appropriate here.

With Matrix’s CSAM and gore spam issues, I’ve been thinking about IRC more and more tbh.
