@simontatham The key words "MUST (BUT WE KNOW YOU WON'T)", "SHOULD CONSIDER", "REALLY SHOULD NOT", "OUGHT TO", "WOULD PROBABLY", "MAY WISH TO", "COULD", "POSSIBLE", and "MIGHT" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 6919.

@kevin yeah, no easy solution to that one, especially since WMF decided that "Save" was also too confusing and leading newbies to putting things out publicly that they didn't intend to.[1] The concept of public drafts is unusual most other places on the Internet, but private drafts are not exactly workable in the MediaWiki/Wikimedia model either.

We do have an edit recovery feature[2], but it's off by default.[3]

The story from #OpenStreetMap right now: a multi-day outage due to an upstream failure is expected to continue through Wednesday. They paid for multiple redundant links from their well-known T1 ISP, but they both went to the same router which failed without an on-site backup. So the ISP is shipping a new one from California with no estimated time of restoration. The only connection they have to the database is an out-of-band 4G modem, and the failover site doesn't have a complete database copy.

@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @oisin @niamhgarvey @tron I managed to lose my keys while driving down the road.

They were in the ignition.

@brion I took French through high school, but one of my friends took Latin.

One year he was issued a textbook, opened the cover, and found my father's name on the sign-out page from almost 30 years before.

I guess dead languages don't change that much.

I was hopeful that #DuckDuckGo removing support for quotes wouldn't be that impactful. Then I immediately had a few searches that required quotes to get even close to a useful result.

Anyone have any better #search engines to recommend?
