I never really understood why "owning" a domain is any more owning than you own your Gmail address: a company is letting you use it and that works until they don't. What an I missing?
I believe it's so they can put on their CV that they're contributors to XYZ famous projects.
Are you arguing that whether something does or doesn't genocide can the boiled down to a percentage. As it turns out, a lot of people disagree with that view.
You sold me on mastodon. Is there a node for scientists? How do I find it?
> decentralized web is a good idea on paper but won't work in practic

Also her husband died a few year ago.

> your rebuttal was that both kinds of claims are racial supremacist claims

You say that "cultural pride" is ok. Who can disagree, cultural pride sounds like a positive thing. But what is cultural pride exactly? In my experience, people who express pride in some attribute of a group that they're included in, only do so because other groups exist that don't have those attributes. So having "pride" and "feeling superior" are really the same thing.
