My favorite solution to this is to use GIF for the 90s encoding scheme and gif for this newer lax meaning. Then while we’re at it, settle the pronunciation debate by picking a different one for each.

A few days ago someone got confused by traffic patterns and shouted angrily at me from his car window. He was in the wrong, but still it sticks in my mind. I wish there was a way to have some meta discussion about situations like that witho

When I encounter bike lanes in this condition I stop for a moment and report it to the city using their mobile app. Typically it’s cleaned up within a few days, but more importantly this closes the feedback loop so it becomes possible for t

Gig Car Share used to do this. I patiently responded to each incident with a support request politely asking them to stop the abuse. After a few months of 1:1 mapping from spam incident to customer support issue it eventually stopped.

In a forum about that specific topic! NixOS, OpenStreetMap, and Rust all have active Discourse instances. For things that are too vaguely defined for that, I’ll bring it up at the local “Linux” user group, which in practice is just a nerd
