> When my provisioning system installs a package by name, i expect it to work in the same way as before.
But where do you put the blame?
The distro for making that change, or the redis company for breaking your software stack?

Problem is, redis threw their users under the bus by relicensing [1], and user would end up with an outdated redis version.

> But money are needed to pay the folks that work at open source software
Cute. Can I have a check for my redis contributions now please?

Oh... I got too excited by the headline.
Thing is, I have a RSS reader already. It's free and open source, isn't updated 8 times a week, works without access to your microphone and it would never try to sell me Nitro.
What I want (and what I thought this was), is to be able to convert certain discord channels into rss feeds.
To OP: If you want a self hosted feature complete rss aggregator, I recommend you try https://www.freshrss.org/

TLDR; No: just rebranded

> Usually, acronyms are followed by the full wording the first time they are mentioned.
I'm sure they did at the time this (SJW) acronym got popular. That was maybe 10-15 years ago.

Primarily, processing input.

In 2025, most online users have learned how to look things up using.. the internet.

> by contesting the very existence of articles on individual episodes of TV shows, software, or video games, which are all completely uncontroversial on the English one.
In the first year or so of the english Wikipedia, I was very engaged in adding content but never really tried to engage with the community. I started adding articles about my topic of interest at the time, which was New York 80s punk and hardcore bands. Soon, I had the lot of my articles deleted for "lacking relevance".
I haven't been contributing much since.

That's why github added emoji reactions many years ago, so you can express "me too" without spamming the notification systems.

> You and I do not understand assembly language.
Having written z80 and x86 assembly since the 80s, being knee deep in several decompilation projects and a couple of emulators since then, I can safely tell you that I do know a handful assembly languages and at least 2 syntaxes.
I believe other seniors have similar skill sets, for now.

Rather, it's the version without a dependency on PERL.

Eh, if that was the point then please, go ahead and show me this magical AI system that produce "edible" level of code then.
All I seen so far is badly generated boilerplate and enough template spaghetti to confuse some CS dropouts by the looks of it.
barotalomey | 10 months ago | on: The problem with "vibe coding"
Obtuse maybe, but I'm not missing the point. Their point is nonsensical, given that LLM generated code isn't "as good as fast food compared to home made meals" or even comparable to "food".
Go ahead and explain why I'm missing the point.

And there's a entry from 2011 in urbandictionary.com, so maybe that's around when it was coined.
