I feel it's possible to let anger shine through and still be respectful. But perhaps I'm wrong...

Why?
I don't mean the seething bit, I mean that part should be obvious. I mean why not let it shine through?

@flameeyes and also some language to query said structured data. All you need now is to add some easy 3 letter abbreviation and you're done! Surely that hasn't been done before.

This pride month, I want to honor Harvey Milk. A man who was not afraid to stand up for who he was, and made a difference.
Even though I'm not a member of the community and have made mistakes in my interaction with people who are in the past, I have always believed that how two consenting adults interact with each other is nobody's business but their own, and as such I just can't understand the bigotry that exists in this world.
RIP Harvey Milk. May your legacy live on forever.

@foone @SpeakerToManagers in case you decide to be true to yourself and get started on this: the Egyptians had their own numbering system in hieroglyphs. There are Unicode code points for hieroglyphs now. So make sure not to forget them! 😉

It's useful with its opposite, strcspn, to write a tokenizer:
start = string + strspn(string, delim); // find first non-delimiter character
len = strcspn(start+1, delim);
Now you have a string with a known length that you can process.
You could use strtok, but (a) that modifies the string, which is not always what you want, and (b) is not thread-safe; strspn and strcspn are.

Oh, okay, I see what you mean. I thought you wanted to defederate your own server and live on an island, which seems to defeat the point, but it's about defederating as a big moderation hammer. That makes a whole lot more sense 😁

I'm not understanding your problem with matrix. It seems like it has almost everything you want to me. What's this thing about defederation? Why would you want that in the first place?
Honest question.

@ZebraNorth classic 1980s-era hack. Many companies allowed this, and then often lost their customers because now you can't upgrade the maximum ram for the next generation of your system without breaking backwards compatibility and nobody wants to buy a second generation system that can't run software written for the first generation...
I'm pretty sure this is the reason why you can't try the same hack in x86-64 hardware...

IME, it's the young nerds who fell for the BS, the first or second time around they are old enough to be able to fall for it.
After that, they've (usually) learned and don't fall for it anymore, but by then there's a new generation that will take up the torch.
From the outside they looks like they never change. From the inside, however, people do learn, there's just always new people.
