I think the comment was about Vance

I still can’t quite accept that the French for “what” is literally “what is it that”

The military censor in Israel does the exact same thing: ostensibly to prevent enemies from using the data to improve their systems, in reality as an attempt to keep domestic morale high (it only ever manages to slow down the inevitable fall, though).

There’s a morpheme boundary here, probably has something to do with it. The examples in the post have no morpheme boundary before the main stress, or at least not one that’s transparent to English speakers (ab/solu/te/ly might hypothetically have been more transparent to a Latin speaker though)

Not really, it’s still fully FOSS, they were just terrible at communicating what they actually wanted to do and people got spooked.

Yes, but it’s usually very subtle (e.g. in realizations of single phonemes or in intonation). There are also more extreme cases which other commenters have pointed out.

I recommend you look up sociolects and sociolinguistics.

It’s the other way around: RHEL is a corporate fork of Fedora.

It was never about skin colour though, was it?

Was reminded of this article if you’ve got some time to read

And obviously the Piefed codebase is so politically and ethically agreeable… /s

No one likes the lemmy lead devs or their stances. But, to my knowledge, they just keep doing their own thing over at .ml and never channel it into their actual codebase.

When I first started here, I was on Kbin, and switched to lemmy because it was so much better. I considered switching to Piefed exactly because of these reasons you mentioned (I’ve already switched lemmy instances, comment history is not an issue for me), but when I looked into it there were so many just frankly aggravating things about the way it works and filters stuff by default (not to mention being written in Python, but that’s completely tangential) that I couldn’t do it.

Sure, lemmy developers have backwards principles. But at least their software doesn’t. I completely get why someone would use Piefed instead, especially if they’re trans or of some other demographic directly targeted by the lemmy developers, but I wouldn’t do it myself (unless it gets better, of course).

Yes, and when write with a pen or pencil on paper it’s easier to smear your work as the writing hand is trailing, not leading.

Right-handed people writing right-to-left languages (there are a lot of them) can sympathize, I guess

I guess they’re trained on words, not numbers

I don’t quite get what you mean, could you elaborate further?

JREs, man providers, *roff, …

Arch does indeed have a special mechanism for Java, but Debian and Fedora have a general-purpose system (the same system actually)

Is Pacman still missing a proper alternatives system?

Not from this instance as well, but I think the distinction would be as to whether you think that Israel should exist at the expense of the Palestinians (not just Gaza and the West Bank, but the refugee crisis dating back to 1948 and possibly before).

If you recognize that both Israel and Palestine are already here, and that both represent national identities (not necessarily countries) that are, at present, as legitimate as any other one (regardless of their history), I think that’s just pragmatic and wouldn’t make you a Zionist.

Feel free to correct me!
