I can’t understand would it even have the part in parentheses in Europe. Think how silly it would look if every location had the regional name for every nearby country added in parentheses after the primary global name. It would be a mess.

Eg:

Germany (Deutschland, Allemagne, Niemcy, Germania, Saksa, <etc>)

Feels to me like special rules Apple has to stroke special fascist egos.

But maybe its not Apple and this is a name set by your local governance. You mind if I ask what country Apple maps you’re looking at?

Yeah hero worship happens everywhere I agree. I just said it’s far more common in the right wing communities, not that it’s exclusive to them

You’re in a blog memes community dude. It’s literally all screenshots of blog posts idk what you expect other than like… screenshots of noteworthy peoples social media posts and related memes.

I actiallyvthink the open source community (and wider programming in general) are very proactive in calling out and speaking out against poor behaviour among their community leaders and peers. Just off the top of my head I can think of:

1. PolyMC dev who came out stating he is very against queers and leftists. Rest of his dev team goes “OK bye” and forks the project. Their project, Prism MC now has more than 3* the stars on GitHub as the original project, indicating much larger userbase and following.
2. The developer of the most popular game of all time, Minecraft, Markus Persson (Notch) made a number of posts on Twitter that were your standard anti-feminist, anti-trans, pro-white alt-lite chud crap, and this enormously popular billionaire is now persona non grata in the Minecraft community and unwelcome even by Microsoft.

The problem you allude to (blind hero worship) is really a far more common occurrence amongst the right wing, because as conservatives they seek to preserve existing structures of power and tradition above all else. Leftists seek egalitarianism. These two ideas are incompatible which is the whole reason they’re branded as opposing ends of the political spectrum.

Atheism includes both those that passionately disagree that gods exist and those that simply do not believe in deities. So you hate both people that believe in deities (religion), and all atheists. I guess you left out non-religious non-theist’s… People who don’t believe in theism but have some kind of pagan belief system.

That’s a very small ellipsis of the Venn diagram you’re carving out of people you don’t hate.

Crystal girls that list ‘spiritual but not religious’ on their Tinder?

Just look at who is in the White House, mate - and not just the president, but basically you can pick anyone he’s hand-picked for his staff.

Surely that’s an instant cure for any qualified person feeling imposter syndrome in their job.

Yeah I use Linux for my servers and my HTPC, but I never really hibernate or sleep those so I had no idea if it might occur there too. It’s great to hear this is not likely to be an issue - thanks

And yet they apparently still can’t get an accurate result with such a basic query.

Meanwhile… https://futurism.com/openai-signs-deal-us-government-nuclear-weapon-security

Fair enough - sounds like they might not be ready for prime time though.

Oh well, at least while the bugs get ironed-out we’re not using them for anything important

The problem I have with this I put the PC to sleep overnight every night - and like clockwork, Windows wakes it back up sometime overnight to do… Something.

I’ve been diagnosing the issue for years - checking wake timers, switching hardware devices permissions to wake the system off. I might fix it for a few months and then a new Windows update comes along and it’s back to its usual routine of waking itself.

Looking forward to seeing if it persists with Linux when I move at the end of support period for Win10 later this year.

Unfortunately they’re so stupid and egotistic that they’re giving it a red hot go anyway

It’s a rhetorical non-answer, “the 35th anniversary release was only available for a limited time because it was only available for a limited time”.

There are hundreds of anniversary releases of games that are made permanently available - hence why people asked Nintendo why this one was given an artificially short availability so often that it became an FAQ question. They own the rights, they can sell it indefinitely if they want.

Eg: search Steam for ‘anniversary’ you’ll find 600+ results.

Reads like it was written by an ai:

• drones on with tangential information
• doesn’t answer the question

I chuckled when i got to the picture of Obama. I’m borderline on whether this is a genuine rw meme or a parody it’s that over the top
