Please don't refer to transwomen as "women". Gender and sex really is more complicated than just men and women, and yes, I do mean "biologically", not just as some mental abstraction.

I've only dabbled with Vibe.d, but it seemed quite mature to me. Well, maybe not "mature" but usable; I would have liked a little bit more documentation for Diet templates, but they weren't that hard to pick up from exam

He also needs to have registered it in the first place. Trademarks are not automatic like copyright is. I didn't try very hard, but I couldn't find a "curl" trademark here for software: http://tmsearch.uspto.g

If you're referring to the 2012 case of EA vs Zynga, it doesn't look to me like it established different jurisprudence. The artwork in that screenshot comparison looks very obviously copied. For copyright, copying something doesn&

I'm just so happy that someone actually mentioned the laws and at least vaguely alluded what each one does instead of just saying something like how "IP" laws (I don't like this term) forbid copying and they're ther

I think it's extremely important to remember what "fake news" is. It's not misleading reporting, it's not yellow journalism, it's not honest errors in reporting, it's not rumours. Fake news is fraudulent w

The staging area is incidental. It's yet another place in which your code can be, and it confuses users. This is why Gitless has removed it. https://gitless.com/#vs You don't need the staging area to select hunks

I think this exchange between you two perfectly exemplifies why git is hard: everyone has a different interpretation of it.

The proliferation of articles like this is a very very good indication, that, yes, git is that hard, especially if you have to collaborate with other people. Everyone has a different idea of what git does, what things are called, and differ

Call me old-fashioned, but I often prefer screenshot-based LPs. LParchive is a great resource for those. I did enjoy Void Burger's video LP of Silent Hill but I liked that she used subtitles for commentary instead of her voice (I think

I may have been wrong to interpret this comment as whataboutism, but whataboutism isn't just some petty logical fallacy to invoke in internet arguments, but a well-established political tactic employed by governments of the world to ju

I'm not saying the quality of the software is the most important thing. I'm saying that software freedom is a pragmatic goal. Being able to fix your own software or bring it to anyone competent who can repair it is a practical thi

The ideological reasons are practical reasons. We don't want to give you software freedom because we believe in some abstract ideology. We want to give you free software because we believe this is the way that you will eventually get t

Every time I read about what China is doing to Uighurs, my heart sinks. Putting people in camps, monitoring their every move, coating it all with bureaucracy and lies. This is what genocide looks like. And nobody has the courage to stand up

I'm kind of cynical about this sort of thing and I don't think the hosting really changes the quality of contributions. The amount, maybe, but you get a lot of crappy drive-bys that are about one particular but very enthusiastic p

Huh, this sounds almost exactly like my experience too, down to the same year and subject! This was in Mexico, but our teacher was from the southern US, I believe. I wonder if it was a particularly popular teaching method of that year.

I'd be surprised if you get five seconds on the final video. You might also be edited out in a way to make it look like you said something other than what you intended to convey. The Catalan diagrams will almost certainly not make the
