I noticed a change in your titles a few days ago. What happened to “until l forget to post Screenshots”? I don’t think you forgot, did you?

Disappointing that it doesn’t show anything at all without javascript.

I don’t follow Meta services, but for the record, I think you’re talking about the EU Digital Markets Act and its interoperability requirements of gatekeepers.

- Comment on What metrics did people evaluate arcade games by when they were popular? 3 weeks ago:
Also, units of fun earned while watching other people play.
One nice thing about an arcade is that you can see regular people (not streamers/professionals/actors) interacting with a game, and notice subtleties that aren’t represented in a list of bullet points or a trailer video.
- Comment on YSK about SomaFM, an independant non-commercial internet radio with really nice and diverse curated channels 4 weeks ago:
SomaFM uses shoutcast/icecast streams, so just about any half-decent media streaming device or software can play it.
- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 4 weeks ago:
What makes you think that? It’s possible that they did it in-house, of course, but there’s no precedent for it. No previous Civ had a linux version done in-house.
- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think so. There’s no mention of it on their site.

Do you know who made the port?

Somebody please wake me up when these atrocities are gone. (And thanks, Steam, for making them easy to discover.)

I just referred them to 5 because it was almost as good
Why do you consider Civ 6 better than 5?
- Comment on Servo vs Ladybird. 4 weeks ago:
Someone with undetermined/unknowable gender would use the pronouns they/them, never he/him.
I suggest you do some research on the history of language.
- Comment on Servo vs Ladybird. 4 weeks ago:
And for a hypothetical person, whose gender is unknowable.
- Comment on Servo vs Ladybird. 4 weeks ago:
None of what you claim was done in the document being discussed.
It isn’t a fucking “convention” to push women down
No, but choosing either the male or female pronoun when writing about a hypothetical person has been the convention for a long time, and using the male one has been the usual default for far longer than any of us has been alive. It’s not to push women down; it’s a grammar compromise, and is not exclusive English.
You are misunderstanding the language as it was used, and you have jumped to a false conclusion that seems to make you so angry that you think it’s okay to publicly vilify someone… for your own mistake.
I hope things get better for you.
Good day.
- Comment on Servo vs Ladybird. 4 weeks ago:
Certain forms of singular they are old, but the drive to use it as a general convention is new.
- Comment on Servo vs Ladybird. 4 weeks ago:
“Personal politics” is a vague phrase that generally just means someone’s views and priorities. There is nothing pejorative about it, nor in the way he used it.
In other words, Andreas insists the OS developer be referred to as “he/him” instead of not assuming gender.
The build instructions in question follow English language conventions that have existed for hundreds of years (and are shared by more than few other languages). All he did was decline someone’s proposed change that would have applied a very new convention regarding pronouns for a hypothetical person. This is not the same as insisting that anyone refer to anyone else in a particular way.
It’s also not unreasonable. We can ask people to adopt new conventions, but we don’t get to expect or demand it.
Change to a language takes time.
It’s textbook misogyny.
No, it is not.
- Comment on Servo vs Ladybird. 4 weeks ago:
I followed the links to see what he actually wrote. There’s nothing transphobic or misogynistic about it.
If you are referring to some other incident, then please link it so we can see for ourselves.
