There are some old interviews with George RR Martin where people ask him about various characters, and GRRM would adjust his pronounciation to match the person asking the question. So he’s pronouncing names differently in different interviews depending on how others pronounce them. I wonder if it is to make the other person comfortable, or if he just doesn’t have a canon pronounciation.

It should be !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org

I guess. It invoked some emotion for sure, something that research and policies usually don’t. For me, I still don’t know what to do differently. I’ve heard the statistics and it’s scary and sad. I want women to be safe and equal and all that. But what’s the plan here, which path leads to a different world? Does it help if I just sit around and feel bad about myself? I don’t think so. It just alienates me from half of the human population. But what actually helps? The message I receive is mostly just “feel bad about yourself.”

If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail.

You know, that’s a good idea.

Reading bell hooks back in the day made me interested in understanding feminism. Things like the bear makes me go do other things and care less.

The world needs more people who think like you.

If ads are pushed into ed(1), then it truly is everything. But, as long as Theo is the leader of OpenBSD, we will always have a free operating system.

What are the biggest reasons for the complexity? What would we be giving up if browsers were simpler?

I remember back in the 90s when it was mostly text and hyperlinks (and animated gifs). Now, we have a lot of nice features of course, javascript and what not, but which of these features are the heaviest for browser complexity?

This is a fairly common opinion in Sweden among people.

I’ve tried pretty much all major distros over the last 15 years, and I always come back to debian.

Sweden classified PKK as a terrorist organization in 1984. Sweden does not finance PKK.

Yes. By convention based on old reasons though. When computer screens became common they were low resolution, and a whole genre of serif fonts were made to look good on screens and low-end printers. Good fonts, but adapted to look good in pixel grids. Microsoft made Georgia, Adobe had Utopia to serve the same need. A font like Centaur would just not survive on a screen. Sans serifs worked better, especially the ones with straight lines, Helvetica is easier than Optima on a screen. But now… phone screens and regular screens are good enough to display serifs, but now we are used to sans serifs online. But there’s no real reason for them anymore.

Jenson-like fonts are rare to see online, but always nice.
