You can say the same for Apple. I think the trademark applies when a common word is used in a distinct business case. Here the word is used as a filter name, for instance. That application is unique.
There are too many suggested replacements that I find are overly prescriptive, contextually blind, and needlessly aggrandizing.
Some, I admit, have merit. (Senile, grey-beard etc.) To me they are common sense. Perhaps, the rest of the terms were common sense to the authors.
Several suggestions about cultural appropriation are hypocritical. People of all cultures say the Lord's name in vain all the time. But saying guru or totem pole or spirit animal is an infringement. Why?
There are many turns of phrase where the offensive implication is not even implicit. "Bury the hatchet", "take a shot", "rule of thumb". Does anyone have to do mental labor to separate the violence in the words from their meaning?
Some replacements are suggested to prevent a word from singularly describing a person, because people have multiple characteristics. Yet the verbosity makes the attempt more conspicuous. "Immigrant -> person who immigrated". Why?
I did ~22 prompts. All of them I correctly identified as satire. I don't know how they are generated. Feeding titles into a language model? Very likely, because the resulting titles are very easily distinguishable as satire given the context.
Can't use my mouse with it. And it doesn't look nice. And it requires a shortcut palette different than the OS conventions. I bought VS Code with $0.00 and sent the rest to needy kids in Uganda.
If I were to make my own generator from scratch, I'd go with python. It's the language I work with the most. A lot of my blog content will be generated from python (figures etc) or will show python code. So having a site generator in the same language can help me add features by hacking on the generator code in a way that a single binary cannot.
I tried this debloater, but it debloated my ability to play video games that I like. And debloated the luxury of not having to drop to the command line to fix many of my problems. Also debloated the ability to run some very convenient day to day software.
I am not a prolific contributor in the open source scene, but I participate with some frequency. I've always thought Codes of conduct are simply platitudes to keep over-eager human resources personnel, twitter activists, and their ilk at bay. Never once have I ever felt the need to look over the codes on any service. Such pages are simply background noise that contribute nothing but the occupation of space to a project. This has been my impression thus far.
I do not subscribe to all the beliefs the author espouses, but I am sympathetic with them. Admittedly, I feel myself cheering him on for standing his ground against this vacuous criticism.
With window-specific menus, I can directly click on and open the menu button of another app/window without first having to focus it first to see the menu options. I find that to be more intuitive.
I have always been a windows user and my intuition was shaped accordingly. So to me that is the obvious and correct thing to do.
One of the biggest hurdles to my use of Jax is that it doesn't work on Windows, my daily driver. It's inconvenient when playing around with a new tool that requires a whole other OS to run. I'm hoping that gets figured out soon.
Yes, pornography is harmful when everything is considered. Yes, this is my held belief held partly from personal experience, and partly from limited study, and partly from how I was brought up. No, it is very unlikely that I will change my mind.
I am currently abstaining, and I have noticed changes in my life: mental health, social calendar, relationships. My sexual outlet is not just my hand in front of (usually) a screen showing impersonal images. My sexual urges are directed more wholly towards my sexual partner.
When I did not have a partner, I noted there was some frustration with errant thoughts. But, that virility of thought was to my benefit when I did find a partner. In the past, I've had issues physically with erectile dysfunction, or mentally with emotional engagement. The narrative fed to me in porn was so embellished so as to change my expectations in reality. Abstaining has helped ground me by not implicitly comparing reality to a contrived fantasy with a darker underbelly.
I also think, porn is an easy outlet for boredom and solitude, and not just sexual frustration. When I restrain from porn, I find myself occupying time doing other things. Granted, I may be unproductive. But, I've felt in the balance that I've eked out things more worthwhile of my time than just my ejaculate into empty air :)
I like the features in Microsoft OneNote (web/desktop apps, cross-platform, nested sections/pages, cross-linking between pages, free-form doodles and formatted text). And all of that is free.
The only feature I think is missing is exporting to some open format so I can use them with another application.
