In some buildings the backyard level has windows though. It's clearly not a basement, just a (partially or mostly) above-ground floor that happens not to be at street level.

Furthermore French for "ground floor" literally translates to "street level" so going by linguistics we can't declare any other level to be the ground floor to make whatever "B1" is work consistently.

Don't you see how that's such an obviously ugly and mathematically unsatisfying retrofit to make your shit work?

B2 B1 1 2 3

vs

-2 -1 0 1 2

And what the hell do you even do in a situation where 0 is at street level but -1 opens on a backyard or something. It's clearly not a basement, but it's clearly not the ground floor either.
Or do you never build an elevator in such buildings in order not to trigger massive cognitive dissonance?

EDIT: Holy shit there is another layer to this hypocrisy cake. Americans swear up and down that they have to write "12/11" because they say "12th of September", but their floor notation is literally "B1" for "First Basement". Clearly the only rule they follow is that they'll do whatever is least logical and convenient just to piss off everyone who is forced to work with them.

It's not about the bindings. It's, as always with kernel devs, about gatekeeping and unprofessional if not outwardly hostile behavior.

Maintaining bindings is a hard problem for sure, but no hard problems have ever been solved by the key stakeholders refusing to partake in honest discussions. Asahi Lina's breakdown of her rejected contributions to the fundamentally flawed drm_sched, which do not involve a single byte of Rust, demonstrates an unwillingness to collaborate that goes much further than the sealioning about muh bindings.

IMO the proper thing to do is to answer the question and make damn sure the poster isn't falling for the XY Problem.

Sometimes the weird solution is justified by a weird context, and we gotta treat people like adults. But also, you're probably asking the wrong question.

Like, I can tell you how to disconnect your bike's brake lines, but if you're asking how to do that with no context I would most definitely like to know what problem you think you're solving.

It's so easy to tell this map was made by a Brit. Wales gets its own color (despite largely not speaking Welsh) but Belgium and Switzerland are monochrome (despite having multiple federally recognized and geographically partitioned monolinguistic regions and their own flavors of historical-but-rarely-spoken language)?

Only the Bri'ish would be haughty enough to assume their flavour of federal governance is so unique.

(I don't actually care, it's just very interesting how even such an innocent map actually shows a strong political/cultural bias)

.... What's that about culture war bullshit? Whatever corner of Xitter that youtuber went scurrying under, there's like a couple dozen people there.

Some people (conservatives and some absolutely brainrotted terminally online leftists) love attributing sales data to Wokism or Wokism being Defeated. thisengineiswoke.jpg.

Literally no-one actually cares, not even conservatives, because they sure as shit play Elden Ring despite the character creation presenting gender as "A" and "B" or whatever. It does not matter. "Go woke go broke" is a literal fucking meme. If people actually cared about gaming politics then FIFA wouldn't be one of the top selling games every year and reddit would have killed pre-orders as a practice 10 years ago.

The game is bland, a cheap knockoff, already very old-fashioned, infinitely too expensive, terribly marketed and uniquely non-appealing. That's it, no need to bring weird politics into this.

I don't agree. If anything right now we have the opposite problem where the English world for instance pretty exclusively uses a more than 500 year old translation of the Bible, despite much more modern-English versions being translated from some very early Greek versions of the texts (therefore being more readable and less telephone-y). The reasons for the KJV being preferred are many but none make any real theological or linguistic sense.

What really happens though is not so much a game of telephone than the fact that every culture gets to decide on its own (usually provably incorrect and inconsistent) interpretation of the texts, because the whole thing is so internally inconsistent it's basically a Rorschach test no matter which way you translate it. Progressive Christians will basically tell you that literally none of the Old Testament is to be taken literally which... okay? Extremists sects will do the opposite. Then there's the whole dogma around Lucifer and Hell, whose existence is clearly an inconsistent amalgamation of old polytheist religions and no matter which way you read or translate it doesn't translate to the Lucifer or Hell that most Christians ever think about when they say "Lucifer" and "Hell". That part was just straight up made up over the centuries because it was a convenient scarecrow, yet is is absolutely load-bearing to the dogma of almost every Christian sect. And let's not even get into the feminists and queer people who'd put Simone Biles to shame with their mental gymnastics justifying the Bible being an Ally, Actually™. That's not a game of telephone, that's just Weapons of Mass Denial.

You underestimate the sheer volume in my hippocampus dedicated to tracking tabs.

... Kidding, mostly. Because generally tabs are grouped together in a way that makes sense so it's easy to remember. These 10 tabs are me researching a new tool... A couple tags for articles I will surely get to... Then these 15 tabs are documentation for XYZ... Those 5 tabs are YouTube videos I want to watch... These are three Wikipedia searches that popped in my head and oh look a couple songs I want to listen to before adding them to my playlist.

If I want to find a tab and they are fully minimized then I click on the group with the relevant icon then I Ctrl+Tab through them until I find what I want. Perfectly reasonable.

I swear it makes sense and bookmarks are not an adequate replacement.

Socialists have been the go-to vote of the proletariat in Europe since the early 1900s, and most of these parties were in power at some point or another since 2000.

However these parties have fallen off a cliff in popularity, and the reason why will depend heavily on who you ask but it boils down to "workers don't feel represented by socialists".

• The socio-economic landscape moved on since 1917, but the left-end of socialists did not. Orthodox Marxism says tertiary sector workers are basically part of the bourgeoisie (I've had Extremely Online Marxists explain that one to me with a straight face, so as an IT worker I'm afraid to say I am not allowed to partake in any True Socialism because I do not sell my Labor).
• Conversely the "center-left" socialists are hardcore neoliberals (who just happen to think that some social programs serve the neoliberal agenda) and their policies have therefore failed to meaningfully curb the degradation of public services and standards of living.
• The Left™ got stuck in the trap of being pigeonholed as "pro-immigration" during what most people felt like was immigration crisis. Doesn't matter how you feel about it, this culture war bullshit has profoundly hurt their polling scores and benefited bigots.
• Parties with an internally democratic governance have been dreadfully slow to react to changes in the political landscape in the past 25 years. Retirees are voting in the primaries whereas extremist parties are led by autocrats who fully understand how to capitalize on online media attention (hence the better polling numbers of the far-right with thr youth).

Fighting fascists with "but socialists good for proletariat" is worse-than-useless. Voters know what socialists stand for, and that's kind of the problem because they feel it hasn't helped. People don't have hope in traditional European socialist policies, and only vote red out of tradition or as a barrage vote against the far-right.

To your last point: I don't think it's hard to figure out.

Unlike many people I don't always have an inner monologue. Like, right now I'm writing so I "hear" the words I'm putting on my screen. But if I'm programming or doing some other complex abstract thought? No sentence there, only a flow of abstract thoughts (words, images, nameless concepts, feelings, intuition, all meshing together in a way that is unique to my brain and would take several paragraphs to adequately explain). This occasionally makes it... challenging to communicate an idea I just had, because my thinking runs parallel to my formulating and going from one to the other is a significant mental overhead.

For sure language does play some structuring role in how I see the world. But there are lots of thoughts I have which aren't ever framed by language, and I imagine if I didn't speak any language that's how all my thoughts would be. Although that would obviously be very limiting, it certainly doesn't sound alien to me.

Good news: where I live we don't build our houses out of paper and spit and I'd find it very entertaining to see a critter eat through a solid 40 cm of bricks and mortar.

Bad news: Where I live there are no porcupines :(
