@freemo @calligraphy idk about english, but for german there were specific rules where to use long s and normal s.
slight digression: i sometimes miss those old, more organic style of things. they have a more human quality imho. the same goes for old fonts. e.g. i like garamond very much because it feels organic and less sterile than more modern fonts like grotesque.

@bonifartius

Same in english. That is why the #2 is proper, it has one long s and one round s because of those rules. #3 is not proper but I included it because I felt it looked nicer.

@cee Doctors dont have hand writing. They just have a seizure on paper and rely on the psychic abilities of others to "read" it.

@SirHendrick Not entirely accurate... Doing rigorous experimentation under peer review to refute and/or confirm scientific assertions is how you do science.. Simply questioning the available scientific data and studies without actually doing the rigorous experimentation is **not** how you do science.

@underlap

I just followed them without any problem. Most likely they have you blocked if you cant follow them (the follow button would be disabled).

@rust

Playing with the archaic long-s style.

1 is the modern form,

2 would be the form from 18th century and before,

3 is replacing all styles of s with the long-s

Hmmm... I am considering if I want to start using the archaic long-s in my copperplate writing... Let me try to do an example and see how I like it...

@torresjrjr

Yea I have no problem with that being the default so long as I can configure to change it. I might think its a poor choice of a default (as I do in this case), but I wouldnt start a fuss over it or particularly care, I just turn it off.

@NEETzsche @mkljczk @ducheng

@torresjrjr

I mean, its not like the **user** needs to go through anything. A server admin is expected to configure the server when it is first deployed. I would hope a responsible admin would turn this off. What is or isnot default in the configuration process for the admin, a one-time thing that doesnt effect the users, is not a huge issue for me.

I have strong enough convictions to turn off the feature should I run such a server. That should be good enough for you as a user (as it doesnt effect you).. if not, so be it.

@icedquinn

I wouldnt go quite that far, but yea WHO has leaned towards addressing public confidence as a priority over factual unbias information, particularly sugar coating their language and presentation of data in an effort to not have the general public loose confidence in vaccines. So yea... I dont really trust them as a great source.

@NEETzsche @mkljczk @ducheng @torresjrjr

@torresjrjr

I'd be against this as well, but being optional I would personally give it a pass from a "do i want to host this software" standpoint.

@Acer allocators allow you to control how memory is allocated for objects where their size is not known up front. One notable reason is to make memory allocation more efficient than a naive/generic approach would be.

Kyle Rittenhouse got his EA account banned because he used his name :jokerlol:

@spazzpp2
In theory it would be easy in a lab setting, yes. The reason we cant and wont do it is ethics, you cant expose people go a deadly disease intentionally.

@spazzpp2
I would argue that they dont work intuitively and that my interpritation is the intuitive one. They also arent working experimentally as i already covered why the experiments out there are bogus.

So when there is no experimental data to prove a conclusion either way i fall back on intuition and common sense, which tells me masks are spreading disease.

@louisrcouture

Facebook uses algos to determine who they jail, even when they dont their policies are absolutely absurd. I cant wait for the day facebook is dead
