Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Dropping Calibri was done precisely because it was associated with a reason like this, so you're entirely right.

I think the insult prosecution goes in most cases too far. For me the difference is that Volksverhetzung targets entire groups and raises sentiment against them, while these insults are individual, and public persons are already special-c

*Strange New Worlds Also, agreed. The writing on that show is lousy, but the sets are some of the most beautiful work in the franchise, particularly the Captain's Quarters and Sick Bay.

Yep, I also immediately remembered the Technical Manual CD-ROM. What a marvel that was.

I find posts like this very brave and courageous, and it makes me feel a lot of respect for the author and their personal integrity. There's currently an enormous pressure on developers to pay lip service to loving AI tools. Expressing

I'll take the bait because I'm annoyed by the boiling-frog aspect to vaguely alluding to things. Here's the press release on this: https://www.bka.de/DE/Presse/Listenseite_Pressemitteilungen/...

This is the sort of immature "well, actually" response that you can't afford anymore once you actually take responsibility for things. I wish more people trained themselves to have a "what if I had to do it" habit b

It's still an expectation I have, even as a native German speaker. I work for a well-known German company (our storefronts are sometimes called "the German embassy"), and our day-to-day business language at work is ... Engl

Pretending that "these two things are the same, actually" when in fact no, you can seperately name and describe them quite clearly, is a favorite pastime of vacuous content on the internet. Artists, who use these tools with clear

Upon inspection, the author's personal website used em dashes in 2023. I hope this helped with your witch hunt. I'm imagining a sort of Logan's Run-like scifi setup where only people with a documented em dash before November

MacOS aesthetically peaked with Leopard in '09, but speaking frankly the OS has felt abandoned to me since around 10.2, with so many basic interaction issues with window management and the dock just never getting fixed properly and a l

It's gratifying. I used to tilt at windmills on HN about this and people would be telling me with absolute condescension how the ship had sailed regarding the definition of Open Source, relegating my own life's work to anachronism

Sounds like a race to the bottom to me. If you know how to write well, keep at it.

If you are surrounded by a class of people that makes you genuinely second-guess the optics of your (appropriate) em-dash usage, I think that tells you a lot about what you need to change in your life. Likely you'll be happier in the c

I keep being surprised this is such a big deal on HN, and I have begun to wonder whether this is just a uniquely American conversation. I grew up among European and other international English speakers and writers, and no one blinks an eye

From all the criticisms leveled at Wayland, this is definitely the strangest I've ever heard. I really cannot thing of any existing functionality ever broken by a new release of wayland-protocols, neither by a plain bug nor by a bad in

Agreed. Plus I expected photos of some sort of in-house reference product archive given the title, and instead there was none of that. It's at the level of blogspam.

This is all playing a bit fast and loose with the details. The "isolating windows from each other" stuff in Xlibre for example is the Xnamespace extension, which requires a static config file up front and lets X clients within the

I consider Wayland's choices reasonable as well. I.e. I it's not surprising that a reasonable attempt to clean up X ends up looking similar to Wayland, just in a slightly different place on the xy graph that has backwards compat a

Fair! Though I'm actually not sure I understand what you mean with simplicity. X11 is so vastly more complicated than Wayland.
