You know, I was just thinking how stupid the name sounded until you pointed this out. I still think it’s stupid, but now it at least makes sense how we got here.

I keep hearing people only on Lemmy bring up Gitea but I haven’t really heard of it otherwise. What’s the appeal and what’s keeping it locked away with the Lemmy community?

Are they moving issues or just code storage to GitHub?

I think the YouTube Downloader is paid and they might be getting it confused.

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don’t do enough about it.

Oh but didn’t you know that’s just a slippery slope argument and he’s really just a cool dude and who doesn’t encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don’t want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

I wish this was as straight forward as this tries to make it. In the US there has been a shift to re-designate colleges as universities based on the number of graduate and non-graduate programs, requiring at least one of each as far as I can tell. The side effect is that a lot of state colleges are now state universities with individual “colleges” within them for the specific program groups.

Which is to say that some state colleges were correctly rebranded as universities, but you can go to a state college and have it be a university.

(And yes, even further exceptions exist and I look forward to being enlightened about the various universities in the middle of nowhere serving 15 people.)

I made it pretty clear he’s a terrible person, just for many, many other reasons that are far easier to argue.

Defending a pedophile doesn’t make one a pedophile. That’s the stretch I’m arguing against.

I can’t believe I’m defending Stallman here. He’s got so many other reasons to be hated.

Richard Stallman is a bad person but I don’t think we need to make stuff up to prove that. He’s said he’s fine with child pornography (as long as it’s consensual) and might have favorable views on pedophilia (that may have since been backtracked) but that doesn’t make himself a pedophile.

Just a misunderstood crazy person.

I’ve got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.

A lot of it was updated with both OSM (imagery via Mapillary) and Google Maps.

While I love the “don’t make Google stronger” stance, the goal wasn’t to help Google but instead to help the people who needed the imagery. And (at the time, at least) most people planned their routes using Google Maps so it was important to meet them where they were.

Whoa I had no idea this happened. I used to be a part of a group that would go in and add street view for places like public transit stations so people could gauge accessibility. It’s such a shame that Google killed that ability…

My knowledge on Hamas amounts to the first half of their Wikipedia page so I’d love to learn some more about their. While I can Google their name I’m going to get some weirdly biased shit that will probably contradict itself quickly. Got any suggestions for sources I can read up on to learn more about Israel’s influence there?

Both? Both!

Yes, because not all drugs are bad for you.

I can only imagine they meant caffeine, another common drug that’s heavily abused but a little more socially accepted

I think it’s fair to say that our understanding of history, something which can change because it’s always in the context of the present, has changed.

“Living the dream” is also in the US but it’s usually more sarcastic like “Just another shitty day at this job, just living the dream!”

All of those are widespread in the northeast US if not across the entire US.
