The more time passes, the more information can already be found on the web (including forum threads) and the less need there is to post new threads to these kinds of forums.

We’ll, we’ll, we’ll, if it isn’t autocorrect

Another example of this phenomenon is that, last I checked, all or most of the articles about individual Israeli settlements on en.wikipedia had, very near the top, a sentence like “the international community considers Israeli settlements illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this”. This is literally about right, but the article about one individual settlement wouldn’t become less accurate or informative if it were left out. No such thing as neutrality on contentious issues.

Just shows that there’s no such thing as neutrality on anything contentious (wikis are in any case systemically unsuitable for contentious issues). Even when and how often to mention indisputably true things can be a form of taking sides.

My comment was in no way a defense of Israeli settlement activity, which I find indefensible and the main obstacle to peace in the region. But to my understanding it is still factually correct that the land the settlements were built on didn’t (at least for the most part) have any residents immediately before they were built.

I think most Israeli settlements were built in previously undeveloped places.

I dislike the whole concept of “social media” in the Facebook sense.

I think the ideal form of “social media”, which was also popular in 2004, was the web forum. I want that back, not something where I have to follow people, but something where I can meet and find people with common interests and discuss those interests with them.

Apache isn’t copyleft, not sure why you thought it was

To a different license that, objectively, is not free and open source.

problem is I have no idea which of these communities is “best”, I do not pay enough attention to things going on behind the scenes to have any knowledge of that.

I posted it to 8 communities because there are 8 communities I am aware of where this on-topic. Some people might be subscribed to only a subset of them. This is the natural consequence of the fediverse enabling us to have more than one community for discussing the same topic.

Yeah just 1096 left for a round number

Quick reminder that the “Nobel prize in economics” is not actually a Nobel Prize.

(I didn’t know this for a very long time, so this may be news to some people reading this.)

You could also look into draw.io - for most things that people used to use LibreOffice Draw for, this might now be more convenient.

Difficult to say without knowing your setup. The message is probably correct as written, the file system is for some reason read-only; perhaps you (intentionally or mistakenly) mounted it read-only, or your setup doesn’t support mounting it for writing.

except Australia is a lot bigger than PNG

I don’t know anything about NixOS, but this kind of thing can’t be unfamiliar to anyone who has been paying attention over the last ~10 years.

I think that used to be the case more than it is now. Linux now uses the same printing system (CUPS) as macOS, and macOS printing has to work or Apple’s customers would be unsatisfied.
