As far as reasoning goes, ten points. It doesn't help with the fact that it's still pretty generic and frequent word/name both alone and as a part of a compositum (see: https://corpora.uni-leipzig.de/en/res?corpusId=eng_news_2024&word=void ) though.

Before arguing that Indians did not really cultivate the lands they cultivated in a manner that Europeans just failed to understand as such.

Winter training (sopuli.xyz)

At least here in Finland the autumn is in full swing, the winter is closer and suddenly temperatures have dived significally. Not to mention that many paths and roads are covered in wet leaves. So, time to start thinking about winter training, because I want that first 200 km brevet to be as painless as possible. Now due to weather and road conditions my road bike stays indoors and will be attached to a trainer (a dumb one). How often and how long should I do indoor training? On a good week I may still ride my other bikes 12 km round-trip to work and back five times a week, but that hardly constitutes a training programme.

To be honest you could be tracked by your WiFi usage too.

This is a common misbelief. Trams and light rail usually have points where the units can go around if one unit has derailed, unless the unit has tipped over, which in itself is very very rare. Good planning is crucial. "A better solution uses corridors dedicated to buses that are electric powered." Nope, nope, nope. You have to present arguments to this claim, maybe then I can be bothered to counterargument such nonsense.

We've even got them in Finland and we only have two cities with a tram network. Otherwise I've seen them a lot in Germany and newer systems tend to have them more often than older ones.

Totta tuokin, että tällä on merkitystä vähänlaisesti yksittäisenä asiana. Mutta osana kokonaisuutta ja Junnilan historian tietäen voisi vähän tarkemmin haravoida kuin vain todeta, että "tässä saattaa olla jotain flirttailua" ja ottaa pääministeriltä vastaus, että "kyllä nyt torutaan vähän", sekä Junnilalta "no, tämähän on vain tällainen harmiton vitsi". Piiloviestejä ko. tyypiltä on tullut vuosikausia, ja vasta hiljattain tyyppi on muuttunut vähän varovaisemmaksi näiden kanssa.

That's what "being political" means. Otherwise you'd be apathetic, cynical and not concerned about anything.

Now, what one considers free is political. You cannot decouple reality from politics, and the free software movement is just one very specific example how political this really is. It's also these communities that generate politival movements that you may see as unrelated to the pieces of software in question.

Outside the US this no longer has to be political, is probably more what it really is.

Personal is political.

I'd say let that ship sink. We've got alternatives. Even if we miss the communities and knowledge etc.
