Was expecting AI Gore rhythm

I think it has to do with the fact that in the first three, you can (and do right after entering) stand up (like on a ship, probably where this was first used), while in a car you immediately sit down?

But ultimately this is a trait of the English language, in my first language (German) we “steigen ein” in all of these.

Is it about to blow up and it’s gonna be a fine swell day?

It always looks funny tho. :D

Particularly interesting is this comment:

One really interesting addition to me is that the early internet was a very, VERY free speech place. It loved Gish Gallops of enormous numbers of arguments from all sides and the idea that you would tell anyone, even the most foolish, that they should be banned was verboten.

In fact, early atheists loved creationists posting! It gave them content because these people were so obviously wrong. And creationists the same, because it allowed them to fight back too.

The modern deplatforming support on both sides is another sign that that era is gone.

Among techy people.

Among ordinary users, I don’t think so.

There is no operating system with either name. The operating systems are called Debian, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.

We need a name to collectively refer to them. If we say “Linux” because they share the Linux kernel, ok, but so does eg. Android.

What better name is there to refer to the ones in the above list, but not Android, than “GNU/Linux”?

Me, absolutely. At breakfast buffets you may have to stop me from eating way too many eggs.

EA, not FIFA. The games are nowadays not even called FIFA anymore.

The random place in your head is likely a CGP Grey video about animal domestication. 😁

Yes it does. It is possible to comment on Lemmy posts from Mastodon if the posts were for some reason federated to a Mastodon server.

Current me and 14-year-old me would certainly agree that Linux (and free software generally) is awesome for example. :D

I think most people form most of their worldview around the age of 12 to 14 years. I know I did, that is when I first learned about most of the issues I am still most passionate about nowadays. Anything I learned about earlier or later, I am more likely to change my mind about.

If you do not occasionally change your views on things even later in life based on new information, then you’re not doing very much thinking. Your thought is incomplete, we should have more than two sets of opinions.

AFAICT not really true for Austria (where I live), we get 5 weeks of vacation, yet I don’t hear very much about unions and am not myself a member of one

Of course, not blaming children for misunderstanding this; but if this were a software requirement, an adult software developer should be able to understand it correctly.

Honestly the question as asked is unambiguous: “write words in alphabetical order” cannot mean anything else than apple, fox, log, pond, pumpkin, river. If what was provided here were the expected answer, the wording should be “write each of the following words with its letters sorted by alphabetical order”.
