mr president how open are you to taking the voigt-kompf test

Dear young people:
Facebook started the practice of people using their real names on social media.

This is why you don't know that the Internet was generally like this before the age of social media. The Internet has returned to normal in this one regard.

Us old farts are used to insane screen names.

seriously can websites stop trying to claim "we respect your privacy"

if your website does any of the following, you do not respect my privacy:

1. have a cookie banner
2. require more than one click to reject all non-essential cookies
3. call personalized advertising a "feature"
4. call telemetry "help improve our site"
5. have a "do not sell my personal information" link anywhere
6. require the person to live in california to use that link

Be mindful.

@Nifflas sorry, as a signal processing person, I have yet to see anything that can beat "lombscargle"

WIKIPEDIA STILL HAS THE BAD FLAG
WIKIPEDIA STILL THINKS THE BAD FLAG IS PUBLIC DOMAIN
AND VGAPRIDE HASN'T BEEN UPDATED TO HAVE A BETTER FLAG YET

A discussion from Tumblr about my Brazilian Pride Flag Conflict re: VGAPride got reposted on reddit, and it's hilarious how different the reaction is.

So many people there are like "why are you having this problem? MS-DOS? just design the flag in inkscape or g*mp! why would you want to design a pride flag for DOS?"

It's real sad. They just don't understand why anyone would write software to display pride flags on DOS.
