Not disagreeing with anything you wrote, but TBF that highway is planned as a tunnel below the national park. Still, more space for cars will cause an increase in traffic. Only way I could support this if they instead demolished part of the A23, maybe build a railway or tram track in its place, hey can’t a man dream… 😁😎

There is no operating system with either name. The operating systems are called Debian, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.

We need a name to collectively refer to them. If we say “Linux” because they share the Linux kernel, ok, but so does eg. Android.

What better name is there to refer to the ones in the above list, but not Android, than “GNU/Linux”?

EA, not FIFA. The games are nowadays not even called FIFA anymore.

Current me and 14-year-old me would certainly agree that Linux (and free software generally) is awesome for example. :D

I think most people form most of their worldview around the age of 12 to 14 years. I know I did, that is when I first learned about most of the issues I am still most passionate about nowadays. Anything I learned about earlier or later, I am more likely to change my mind about.

If you do not occasionally change your views on things even later in life based on new information, then you’re not doing very much thinking. Your thought is incomplete, we should have more than two sets of opinions.

AFAICT not really true for Austria (where I live), we get 5 weeks of vacation, yet I don’t hear very much about unions and am not myself a member of one

wait until you find out that if the same happens to Elon Musk, Elongate will be really drawn out

ba dum tss

That “most people” part kinda reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/2501/

Couldn’t you just go to a store that sells musical instruments and try them out there? I don’t know enough about musical instruments to know the answer, but I am a hobbyist photographer and we can certainly do that with cameras.

What do you expect that to do, on a technical level?

Because if all you want to do is the societal result, you can use any existing backend and configure it to disable federation except with other servers with the same goal. Unclear what you are trying to achieve.

That can move photos into directories according to their EXIF date, which should already help you a lot.

I recommend “new comments”.

may I ask what your first language is?

Do you have this problem only with “strawberry” or also with “straw” alone? What about other words beginning with str-, like street or straight?

My first language doesn’t have syllable-initial st-, yet pronouncing any of these words is no problem for me at all in English.

Then honestly this doesn’t seem outrageous, how are you even going to prove that? What if I drive in order to practice driving? Do a lot of places have bans on things like that?

If a significant amount of people are going to stare at a space for a while, it might be used as an ad platform…

It doesn’t have a lot to do with cars though, more with attention economy.

An ISO file is just binary data representing the data on an optical disk.

So it makes sense that VLC can in principle open ISO files, they could be audio CDs or movie DVDs. I suppose what you see here is the result of it doing its best to “show” a DVD containing something entirely different.

As an Esperantist I like the fact that so many FOSS projects have Esperanto-derived names. 👍
