Oh, I thought that you were Hungarian (after reading https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/1080#issuecomment-373872... ), but I guess you are both? Your reaction makes more sense in that case. Although I do hope

You are missing the point. Their issue is that we have two different syntaxes for specifying key-value attributes. "are you suggesting that CSS and HTML should have the same style? <a style=“color=\”red\””>?" Probably more

The linked article say that they met when he was 15 and that they became a couple when he was 18. "in France, both would be punished" It seems absurd to me that both the victim and the abuser would be punished. Do you have any s

I am wondering if Stallman's appearances on FT have also been removed from RT and if they have been archived.

OSI has been trying really hard to claim the term for themselves in a dishonest way, even though they were not the ones that invented it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26507460

It is also misleading because afaik Firefox is developed by Mozilla Corporation instead of the foundation. It has been mentioned before that donations to the foundation can't go into developing firefox.

No offense but I don't see much difference between this and "a black person was mean to me once".

People are assuming that they did not die because the report of US citizens who died outside of the US did not mention them. IMO this is kind of a weak justification, bureaucratic mistakes are not that uncommon. I that people are missing th

It seems that 13k civilians were killed directly by the US and its allies (around 300 for Russia at this moment). Although I do not see why the civilian deaths caused by the destabilization of the region should not be counted as I don'
