Here Let Fix for: Much more mysterious! Is meant? Knows!

I mean

Good question

Essentially that would be the US invading another NATO country (Denmark) and annexing it's territory. Which I think would call for article 5 (In this case an act of war against all of NATO by the largest military of NATO). In practice, would Denmark and the rest of NATO just not call it an invasion? Send a bunch of strongly worded letters about an "unauthorized intrusion" or something? I have no idea.

I mean I think Trump is probably saying these things just to stay in the spotlight or distract from other news, like he often does.

I get where you are coming from, but this event is pretty much entirely the fault of Crowdstrike and the countless organizations that trusted them. It's definitely a show of how massive outages are more likely when things are overly centralized and proprietary, and managed by big, shitty, profit driven organizations. Since crowdstrike operates in kernel space, it doesn't matter which operating system it's on, it can break it if it does something stupid. In fact they managed to break some redhat machines not too long ago, and some Debian machines not long before that. It's just the impact wasn't as far reaching as this recent utter fuckup, just because fewer critical machines were affected, so we didn't hear about those smaller fuckups in the news.

I don't think that's the actual etymology. From what I can find it was an onomonpia about the sounds turkeys make, and a word for gunk. The second part of it is pronounced differently from the racial epiphet (with a more middle vowel like book rather than a forward vowel like boot), and which I understand to be a separate word with a separate origin. I avoid that one due to its spelling and nearness to the slur, but in a compound word it's less likely to be misunderstood. The original use case of the word by the person who supposedly coined it was for needless verbosity. I could see some English speakers retroactively egg corning it and using it as a pun, or maybe it has an older origin than is recorded or the coiner was dishonest, but I can't find an example or evidence of that having happened. If you have an example or personal experience it being used like you describe I'd definitely be interested. It's also possible that I am misconstruing your claim to be one of etymology when it isn't.

I use Chatgpt 3.5 both personally and at work for tip of the tongue questions, especially when I can't think of a word. Sometimes as a starting point when I have trouble finding the answer to a question in Google. It can sometimes find an old movie that I vaguely remember based on my very poor descriptions too.

For example: "what is the word for a sample of a species which is used to define the species" - tip of the tongue, holotype. "What is the block size for LTO-9 tape" - wasn't getting a clear answer from forums and IBM documentation is kind of behind a wall, needed Chatgpt to realize there was no single block size for tape.

It's excellent for difficult to search things that can be quickly verified once you have an answer (important step, as it will give you garbage rather than say it doesn't know something).

It's an interesting grammatical thing. In English, proper nouns are generally capitalized. Where proper nouns are names of specific things, not generalizable ideas. Like Bob, England, The Tribune, Christianity etc are proper nouns, while cat or guitar or car are not. This is extended to proper adjectives, which are generally derived from proper nouns but not always. So like "the man was English". We capitalize English because it isn't just a descriptor of a trait, like fat or green, but because it is describing membership to a nation, and nations are proper nouns. Blackness describes a nation type relationship, and when you say someone is Black, you are not saying that the are literally the color black, but rather belong to a Black identity or nationality. In the same sense that you say someone is Jewish or Protestant or Welsh, not jewish or protestant or welsh. Idk English is weird.

Why not call someone what they want to be called? It ain't new. Just like it's polite to ask someone "can I call you x" or "do you prefer x or y" when you start to call someone a nickname or more personal name, someone can ask to be called x, and it's polite to do so. Names are arbitrary things, but at the same time often deeply meaningful to people.

I don't quite recall, but I think they were moved again to an office or something. No idea who was moving computers around and properly connecting them to the network, it wasn't us (contracted IT). At least they put both this guy's computers directly next to eachother. But nothing was labelled. I recall trying to get someone onsite to label the computers both times and I don't think it ever happened lol.

I think another wrinkle was that most of the attorneys were at that time being migrated or already using a single remote desktop server in a Colo, so I don't know why the customer got this guy a second remote computer. The owner had a tendency of just buying computers without consulting us, and this particular lawyer was a bit of a squeaky faucet with tech, and the RDS was.. less than perfect. So that's probably it.

I'm a bit confused if I watched the same thing as OP and you. I don't think those comments are from him, but rather random people responding to his video? The video seemed like an argument that pure self-interest is self defeating, and on the importance of solidarity, in response to someone saying that supporting blind access is virtue signaling. But with a clickbaity and a bit misleading title (note apostrophe position in Redditor's vs Redditors')

Thank you both for all your work into this community!:)

Thank you so much for all your work Ada! This is becoming my favorite space online since I left reddit and unfortunately it's trans communities with it. I am excited about the possibilities for this as a just as vibrant, but kinder place than subreddits can be.
