> forcing them Opening an issue is not forcing. It's asking. Do we at least agree there?

I have to agree. Please, everyone, if you're going to engage with this, look at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/3617 and the discussion (and lack thereof) there. As someone who likes to think

> PC crusades It's not a "crusade" in any sense. It's one issue on a GitLab that someone decided to link over here (not one of the people who made the issue, I think). It is about "political correctness" onl

Totally! I agree that they're on different levels of international recognition. My point here is that siphon refuses to agree that they're even the same _kind_ of thing, which makes me think they're not interested in actually

So, you read the issue. What is it you fail to grasp about the conversation "I think, rather than buying Photoshop, you should use this software." "We can't use software with a name like that." That's a convers

Except, you said you CAN imagine that. I just gave you an example of EXACTLY that and you agreed that it was too far. So, clearly, you have some kind of double standard here. You're arguing in bad faith and it's making you look si

As someone who participated in this issue, I want to let you know that we chose to engage the current maintainers before forking because that's the nice, respectful thing to do. I, personally, find it extremely aggravating when people

So, great! We've agreed that there _is_ a line, right? A line after which a word is too offensive to too many people to use as a project name; a line over which it's sensible for your users to reasonably and respectfully ask you t

> destroying over 20 years of work to make their name. Oh right. I forgot filing an issue presenting a calm and reasoned argument for changing one string of text to another was the same as "destroying" a project.

For the vast majority of the non-English world, the acronym for a project called "C UNIX Networking Toolkit" doesn't mean anything but the project's name. That doesn't mean going around using that acronym is a good

The GIMP project has purposely made it difficult to rename; patches making it easier to rename have been categorically rejected by the maintainers. So, yes, people are currently talking about forking it.

> Wonder how many people who are up in arms about the name actually use GIMP? I, for one, use it every day. Have you taken a look at the discussion? Your questions are pretty thoroughly addressed, which, along with your final line here,

As I say in my general post on the topic, IPNS is not meant for human use - DNS can be adapted to point to IPNS names just as easily as to point to IP addresses.

Yes, and yes! There's a cache plus the concept of "pinning". Hosting a node is not quite like being an onion endpoint, because the bandwidth load gets shared out very quickly. Hosting a _gateway_ is a big bandwidth commitment

Cloudflare's business model is intrinsically threatened by the existence of a global, distributed, and (basically) commons-supported CDN, because that would make their point-served, centralized, relatively expensive CDN obsolete.

Two things about this. First, the blog is also available at https://leotindall.com/ where it is just a regular website. I think it's _really_ interesting that the first thing that comes to mind is Medium and not, you k
