  1. How others call it:
    "Linux distribution"
    "GNU/Linux distribution"

    How I call it:
    "GNU/Linux-like OS"

    This is because they are more than just GNU + Linux.

    There are many layers of software on top of software.

    The GNU + Linux combination was the pioneer.

  6. The word “disabled” is a victimizing term that puts a label on an individual for straying too far from the norm in some inherent property.

    The term “disabled” glorifies “the norm”, whatever “the norm” happens to be in the present society. Have fewer than two arms? Disabled. Can’t stand up? Disabled. Can’t see or hear normally? Disabled. Don’t process information in the “normal” way? Disabled. Naturally sad or fatigued a lot? Disabled. We slap a label on people and tell them to go to lengths or buy equipment to merely *participate* in everyday life. It’s backwards.

    Instead, we need to put a label on the *system* that fails to accommodate the person. A society or built environment can be “hostile”, “under-equipped”, or even “eugenicist” if it doesn’t allow all people to operate in it.

    You know #terminology is everything and when I first started in computers you know what the first thing I did? C. That's right. I went right for the jugular and didn't know it. If you do that shit for a little while, the rest is not confusing. Just a giant pain in the ass.

  13. 🤯 Ah, the good ol' agent memory—because who doesn't love slapping a 50-year-old #terminology onto an #API and calling it a day? 🙄 It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, but hey, why let accuracy get in the way of sounding smart? 🧠💡

  18. It’s really quite sad to see and experience how certain terms are now being used so indiscriminately by more and more people in Germany, without them seemingly even bothering to give a moment’s thought to the consequences of their actions. 🙄

    German is a language of such precision as is rarely found elsewhere in the world, and instead of making use of these qualities in everyday communication – and particularly in the professional business sphere – so-called ‘nicer and better’ sounding words are constantly being borrowed from English.

    In my experience, a slow and steady erosion of language can cause lasting damage to a culture.
