Russia Has ‘Oligarchs,’ the US Has ‘Businessmen’
In 150 NYT, CNN and Fox articles, ‘oligarch’ seems reserved for Slavic billionaires.

The flexible are unstoppable. Flexibility comes from class, not race. it may be possible they weren't on my Kodi remote control.

@klaatu listing individual features misses the point; the idea is that if the software you use every day can't do "view source" on any command you run, it's defective. if you can't edit the source and see the effects of your change immediately: also really missing the point of software.

#emacs only happens to be the most widespread instance of this philosophy being applied, and the one with the richest history and active community.

Another odd request but if I wanted to get a sizeable sample of the fungus Trichoderma reeseii how would I do that?

The English-language Fedi is this marvelous alliance of free culture, leftism, and marginalized ppl. There's just a few things keeping it from nirvana for this queer, ancom techie...

One is when free software monoculture people tell techie friends about the fedi, but 'forget' to mention the other people here. So these new ppl come in expecting cool and, well, there's a lot that we're not cool about - like rent seekers and business as usual attitudes about the issues that appear in the CoC they added to their project without reading. I'm not even talking about those who uncritically echo the freeze peaches. I'm talking about individuals sympathetic to the other causes here, but who don't know how to communicate on social issues

Another is when marginalized people 'forget' that marginalized ppl are in foss culture, but our presence is white washed. So we get the complaints about 'foss bros' in more ways than one. We feel it more keenly than the intended targets ever will. Plenty are legit enough gripes, but damn it's not *always* so and it's never empathic to have a nuanced response to someone else's emotional outburst. So maybe we can have a space for that

And my leftie friends... You don't need to hear it from me. Most are doing well enough telling one another what each other and others are doing wrong. You already know how much better it is here than any other leftist social media. It is better, but it's not different. Maybe we could work on that, please. A lot of 'awareness' promotion is a humble brag about recent introspection that ended unfortunately premature

proposal that we pronounce "cw" as "coo" (welsh orthography rules)

I totally ruined this

KMFDM is an initialism for the nonsensical and grammatically incorrect German phrase Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, which, keeping the same word order, literally translates as "no majority for the pity", but is typically given the loose translation of "no pity for the majority".[2][5][6][7] In the original phrase, the articles preceding the nouns Mehrheit and Mitleid are inflected for the wrong gender, as the proper declension would be Keine Mehrheit für das Mitleid. Swapping the two nouns yields the grammatically correct Kein Mitleid für die Mehrheit, which translates directly as "no pity for the majority". In a 2003 interview, Konietzko explained the origins of the phrase:

"On the morning of February 29th, 1984 I woke up and went down to breakfast at a hotel in Paris. We had a show that night opening for an exhibition for young European artists. ... we needed a motto for the night so that we could make up some fliers and post them around. There was a German newspaper on the table and so I started cutting out words and threw them all into a cap. We picked a few of them out and it read "Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid". It's kinda improper German in regards to its translation but in the DA-DA-esque [sic] mindset of the early morning it made perfect sense. So when I was on my way back to Hamburg I'd mentioned it to Raymond [Watts]. He liked it but he was having difficulty pronouncing it correctly. So finally he said, 'Why don't you just call it KMFDM?' So that was it. We were KMFDM."[8]
