Nothing dates it more than the reference to Boing Boing.

btw, you've typoed the name: altwiki makes me think it's an alt-right version of Wikipedia.
I don't think people should downvote this Linux-related content that's in a Linux sub just because it's been posted on different servers in the Fediverse. People are too free with their downvotes.
Oof, that's embarrassing for a "hacker" distro. I guess they have too many red teamers and no blue.
But you're misrepresenting my argument.
Hardly, I'm directly addressing your statement that case insensitive is intuitive to users, grandmas or otherwise - I give examples where it's not initiative or obvious which filenames match. I didn't mention ease of implementation at all.
The principle of least surprise is an important UX consideration, and your idea of effectively introducing collation and localising which files conflict is just trading one problem for another set of problems and suprises (e.g. copying directories between drives with different settings).
Case insensitive is more intuitive
Are these the same filename?
- ΑΓΑΘΉ.txt
- αγαθή.txt
What about these?
- MY-NOTES-ON-Δ.txt
- μυ-notes-on-δ.txt
Databases have different case-insensitive collations - these control what letters are equivalent to each other. The fact that there's multiple options should tell you that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to case insensitivity.
This issue is only simple and obvious if you don't know enough about it.
It is a map, though, unlike OP's image!
Sad because the UK's quite small/unsunny and that means most other countries aren't doing much?
I thought that the UK was quite strong in wind, so it'd be interesting to see that charted.
[MIT] does not allow removing the original license and purport that the code was created by someone else.
Sounds like it wouldn't matter which licence he used. Shitty behaviour from Microsoft.
I love how short this article is; it's really respectful of the reader's time.
Forgejo v11.0 is availablet ?

Our nucleic acid recovery techinques found a great deal of homo sapiens DNA incorporated into the fossils, particularly the ones containing high levels of resin, leading to the theory that these dinosaurs preyed on the once-dominant primates.
Transcript:
[Three squid-like aliens in a classroom; one alien stands in front of a board covered with minute text and a drawing of a T-Rex skeleton. Two aliens sit on stools watching the teacher alien. The teacher alien on the left is on a raised platform and points at the board with one tentacle.]
Left alien: Species such as triceratops and tyrannosaurus became more rare after the Cretaceous, but they survived to flourish in the late Cenozoic, 66 million years later.
Left alien: Many complete skeletons have been discovered from this era.

It's going to be really funny when our museums get buried in sediment.
Are you saying you think it's ridiculous to end support "already"?
I think it's likely that anyone still using 486s isn't updating software anyway, so it's unlikely to matter aside from niches like retro devices. Luckily, open source means that if there's a genuine desire there'll probably be a fork to provide it.
