This second law, incidentally, was brought to us by Nicolas Sarkozy, whose most famous speech as President of the French Republic contains the sentence "Africa's mistake was that it didn't sufficiently participate in history."

Six and a half years later, the "Law of 2010-1192: Act prohibiting concealment of the face in public space" came into effect. This law repeats the pattern established by 2004-228: nominally, it forbids anyone from having their face permanently concealed in public. In practice, however, it was introduced, voted on, and has been enforced as a ban on the burqa.

It became illegal to be too "conspicuous" a Muslim woman in France.

On the 2nd of September 2004, just as France's children were preparing to go back to school, the "Law 2004-228 of 15 March 2004" came into effect.

Nominally, this law banned anyone from wearing "conspicuous religious symbols" in schools. In practice, however, it was widely understood to specifically target Muslim students and parents, in particular those who wore the hijab.

Girls and their mothers were now forbidden from "conspicuously" belonging to their faith.

Capitalism: a cultural framework in which mutual aid is arbitrarily withheld, in service of creating hierarchy.

non-programmers are an important part of open source projects. non-programmer contributions are valid and useful and not second tier or otherwise less valuable.

it's easy to say programmers are the only value-add when you're fortunate enough to have enough non-programmers that you can take them for granted.

if you take away the feature requests, translations, and general chatter - many OSS projects would have never been more than flawed, narrow use case tech demos.
