I did decide to delete all my comments and posts on Reddit. Sure, maybe I've posted some helpful comments, but why support Reddit with their continued existence? Remove content, and people might move to other sites to get their information.

I also decided to keep my account. Turns out some content stayed around, because I could not see and therefore delete it in locked subreddits. So when they came back, the comments came back too, and I was able to delete them, still.

I'm unable to test this, but I was browsing around and found that in a FontVariation you add "Standard Ligatures" to "OpenType Features" and then disable it. Would that by chance help solve your issue? There's also a similar field in the font import options in "Metadata Overrides".

I don't know how many years it's been, but I also have been driving Arch for a while. I might not recommend it to absolute beginners, because you do need some patience and experience (such as how to effectively google), but honestly besides some mostly self-inflicted issues, I felt like I had it all around easier than users of other distros (and Windows, of course).

My only experience with Mind Traveler was them engaging with almost every single comment in one thread, seemingly stirring up stuff. I'm not sure about others, but to me that's not how I want anyone to interact with a forum such as Lemmy. I don't want half of the comments in a thread to be from a single user trying to argue every single other person, being as noisy as they can be.

Also, what is your stake in this? You aren't a particularly active user, at least from what I can see from my Lemmy instance. There might be reason to believe you're an alt account of Mind Traveler or a friend trying to push some narrative.

Besides, if anyone is not happy with the actions of our Lemmy admins, which are unlikely to change, why not just move to another instance? That's the beauty of the fediverse, after all. Unless, of course, they aren't welcome on other instances either.

Please, no more drama or attempting to discredit Blåhaj Lemmy admins.

Regarding what I called a "witch hunt", it seemed like some users quickly jumped on board accusing the previous owner of the libertyhub community of intentionally misgendering a user, when it appeared to be a singular slip up ("you" instead of "You"), that he quickly apologized for and fixed. Maybe there were valid concerns regarding the moderation of that community and it was indeed the right choice for the owner to step down – I am totally missing the context for this – but I felt like there was a large focus on the wrong issue that might've driven him away from Lemmy.

As a spectator with no stake in what happened, except of course wanting people to feel comfortable, I feel like two things were still left unaddressed:

• It looked like the owner of the affected community was driven out by something that almost resembled a witch hunt, with accusations that appeared to be unfounded or even maliciously pushed by people opposing the views or moderation style of the community.

• There was a particular user who stood out to me because they tried to respond to as many posts as possible, seemingly fueling the drama, or at least actively pushing their opinion on everyone. I feel like this is not the appropriate way to interact in such a forum, nor healthy for that individual.

What did the admins do or are planning to do in regards to these concerns?

When you say "trans woman" you affirm that they are women, and trans is just an adjective. When you say "transwoman" it can imply that they are something different altogether, and TERFs have certainly used it as such. Like, I dunno, a carpark isn't a park? That's the first example that came to mind, anyway.

I believe "copyright free" in this case doesn't mean not protected by copyright, but rather that it was missing attribution, so they could not contact the original creator.

Anything you create is automatically protected by copyright, whether you put a "© copygirl" or something to that effect on it or not. To use someone else's work, you either need to get permission from the author directly, or the work has to be available under a license that says you're allowed to (typically comes with some requirements or restrictions). One can also release a work under public domain, but that isn't legally possible in some countries. There's also some exceptions like fair use but that's another thing.

Something else to consider in place of or in addition to a build number could also be using the git commit hash of what you're building. Though I would only use that for non-stable releases.

For example, stable versions of Zig look like 0.12.1 and then there's in-development releases like 0.13.0-dev.351+64ef45eb0. It uses semantic versioning where the "pre-release" is dev.351, which includes an incrementing build number, and the "build metadata" is 64ef45eb0, the commit hash it was built from. The latter allows a user to quickly look up the exact commit easily and thus know exactly what they're using.

What I'm saying is that Microsoft is, in fact, being hostile by limiting OSS builds such as Codium in the ways I've mentioned above. I guess that's how they try to get people to keep using their proprietary build instead.

Version 5 of a software, device, vehicle or such isn't necessarily better than version 4, and no official definition of the word "version" require this, either. If I may make another anology: You may pick one of 5 different versions of an outfit to wear, and even though they were labeled in the order they were made, from 1 to 5, none are inherently, objectively better than any other. In the case of UUIDs there are versions that are meant to supercede others, but also simply alternatives for different use-cases. Anyone with access to some up-to-date information can learn what each version's purpose is.

except for visual studio code

But also:

• Telemetry everywhere
• Not permitted to use the official marketplace with OSS builds
• Not able to use certain extensions (like C# debugger) with OSS builds

Though I've been very happy about the direction .NET and C# have been going, especially the licensing.
