Given that international auxiliary languages allow for more efficient cooperation; I think more people should consider using an easily learnable IAL, like Esperanto.

IALs would reduce the English dominance that gate-keeps software development to English persons; and hence allow more potential software developers to better develop software. The English language is mostly dominant in software development because of linguistic imperialism.

These people keep bringing up "mArKeT sHaRE"

  1. Linux is free. How would it get market share?
  2. It's quite difficult to get an accurate "market share" since user-agents can be faked.

EDIT: I wonder if Microsoft are making anti-Linux accounts to try and hamper Linux.

 

Reddit thread.


Finally, someone pointed this trope out; I hate seeing this trope in manga.

 

I don't use deoderant; I don't feel the difference and I never really cared much about my smell; but my parent keeps bringing it up and it's annoying.

Also, what's wrong with smell? Human smells differ anyway.

 

How are other countries, like Ireland, not popular on the internet?

 

I try to be. Children would be exhausting to parent in the current era. Humanity's future is gloom too.

 

(I am focusing on the U.S; but posts about other countries are nice.)

Feminism is a social movement that got popular in the previous century; it is a movement that promotes gender equality?

Racial egalitarianism also got popular in the previous century; people were fed up with racial discrimination.

I think egalitarian movements could have easily became popular during this time; egalitarianism promotes the idea that all humans are equal, which is what most civil rights movements focused on; so how did explicitly-stated egalitarian movements manage to not get popular?

 

Doublethink is annoying to deal with when trying to learn philosophy. I don't know exactly where I started double think; but it was during my childhood. I live in the U.S, which definitely has some elements of doublethinking.

Dealing with empathy for conflicting sides makes me tired.

 

I use lutris and steam.


I'm thinking about making a game launcher in LISP that uses YAML files to manage games.

 

Forgefriends highlights how propriety services, like GitHub, can lock in a projects and destroy its momentum.

Lots of major free software projects are hosted by the project creators to avoid being screwed over by proprietary services.

Examples

If Microsoft were to release a competing link aggregator; then they could persuade GitHub (Microsoft's subsidiary) into locking or removing the main repository for Lemmy's source code.

 

I have been in love with mouse acceleration ever since I discovered RawAccel; it's nice to be able to flick to quickly flick and have slow aim as a gradient.

  • In Team Fortress 2 I can easily adapt to different aim styles; classes have different aim styles, so aim adaptability is useful.

  • In Enter The Gungeon I can quickly peak at enemies and change my aim.

Why is mouse accel still hated?!

 

My mom has a business and mostly uses Windows and Mac OS X; I mentioned Linux because it could help save money.

She is unfamiliar with Linux though; I gave her some basic introduction (uncertain if it's any good, but sure), but I would like to be able to ease her into Linux if she prefers it.
