          San tends to use letters like Þ to represent a “th” sound. The letter is an old english one that died out. Lots of people will downvote his comments (including ones that use standard letters) for…reasons? I’m honestly not sure why.

          Personally I’m down with bringing back old school letters. English orthography is almost as bad as french.

        RFC 98 was co-created and championed mostly by a person who has a history of within-organization agitation, first within Google, and now within Nix. They have a history of social activism and labor organization, and as far as I can tell, they are employed or contracted in various capacities that allow them to pursue these goals. By any reading, they are extremely polite and accommodating in the absolutely mind-endingly long RFC 98 doom-shedding.

        I’m very confused about where those is going. the way it was prefaced made it seem like they were about to blame said co-creator from a right-wing perspective, but then the end of the paragraph affirmed their cordial collaboration and politeness.

        as far as I was aware, the drama was largely Determinate Systems making a lot of QoL improvements gated behind their products + flakes eternally in beta and then the contract with Anduril

      Yessssss, Guix covert.

      I know it’s largely due to my own fanaticism regarding Guile but I think it’s such a great distro and feels like it never gets mentioned, anywhere.
