stolen content from Wikipedia

You can't steal something if I give it to you for free. In this case, it seems the articles copied from Wikipedia correctly follow the license, so this is perhaps the single thing about grokipedia that should not be criticized.

@stefano They're calling Unix users "tech boomers" and apparently it's the BSD communities that are the toxic ones?!?!

@solidsanek I assume this is fake, but it's hilarious and the point still stands

@clacke sometimes ? I struggle to remember the last time I encountered a case that was not that

@clacke That ought to terminate sessions owned by other users 😹

@schappi Strange how this keeps happening !

@fitheach We have a tentative swallow nest by our place (yay!) so hopefully they'll stick around (not get driven away by magpies) and hunt mosquitos/midges

@yogthos

@yogthos

implying that about 38% of global trade could bypass the US dollar dominated SWIFT network

I'd be curious to know what the real figure is, but 38% is a potential, not a reality

@solidsanek As someone in a parasocial triangle with coffee and tea, I understand

The US and UK tracking and arresting people for political speech is a reminder that even if you're doing nothing wrong, privacy is important

@loke two letters whose names differ only in a voiced/unvoiced distinction, what could possibly go wrong !

@clacke It's interesting that we're about as far from Middle Chinese as from vulgar Latin, but the change seems more than in the Romance languages ? Though I guess if French had a billion speakers, it might have diverged even more

@clacke This is me using German to try to speak Dutch

@fence Most bags can fit vinyls if you fold them a couple times

#hottip

@clacke I counted to -1, was I supposed to do this unsigned ?

Evil shu 🤘

#tea @tea

@clacke 0.27.5 fixed that for me
