@stolas hilariously, this is also i feel like a huge east coast vs west coast thing in america, or at least something that i have never really seen in the south. perhaps new york city has actual planned bits.

if you look at a map of Atlanta, like, this shit. is not planned. yes it got burned down and we still built it back nonsensically. it sprawled and nobody has any idea what it's doing. there are multiple jokes about how the roads were set by drunk goats. WE HAVE AT LEAST A DOZEN DIFFERENT PEACHTREE STREETS FOR GOD'S SAKE

the idea that a city is planned out on a grid and you can actually use things like "a city block" as a useful measurement is completely fucking mindblowing to me, yet it seems to be how a lot of americans conceptualize cities - planned out neatly on a grid. some cities are even built like that!

no, we've got seventeen different peachtree streets and spaghetti junction 'round here

DIAGONAL ARROW KEYS! 🤯

gonna start selling "eco NFTs" where i just email you a randomly generated hash code

When you're talking about Linux, it's okay to say that it's "open source".

It's okay to say that it's "free software".

It's okay to call it "GNU/Linux", "Linux", or to mess up its name.

It's okay to refer to it as "the one with the friendly penguin".

Part of RMS' legacy has been an incessant obsession with terminology and pedantry, overshadowing far more important shared objectives which are fundamentally emancipatory in nature.

Pedantry is not activism; it is alienating, not emancipatory.
