omg, I hadn’t seen that meme in ages.
0·2 months agoI agree with this, in that I think it avoids the issue of appearing to side with one or the other — I think it’s more neutral.
HA, that’s so cursed. I love it.

Do you have a source?
I wonder if he’ll make a video (if he hasn’t already) on why he chose to switch to Linux; I’m quite interested to hear what made him decide to switch, and I’m also very interested to hear what issues, if any, he encountered along the way.

Fair point! [1]

- §4.b.
As such, within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Interior shall, consistent with 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, take all appropriate actions to rename as the “Gulf of America” the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico. […]
- The executive order states that 30 days from the date the order was signed, or perhaps 30 days from the date it was published, The Gulf of Mexico will be renamed to “The Gulf of America”. This will either happen on 2025-02-19 (at the earliest), or 2025-03-02 (at the latest).

[…] I think OSM shouldn’t just go out and follow every random suggestion any politician makes. […]
I think there’s some use in including a countries official names for specific features, in some way. I’m not saying that the primary name should be that, but it’s at least a name that is known and conceivably could be searched.
[…] Let’s wait until anything actually changes officially […]
Hm, I would argue that there is no such thing as “officially” in regards to OpenStreetMap. Or are you referring to the name “Gulf of America” changing officially in the USA?
[…] Let’s wait until anything actually changes officially before we start going with some wild claim
I wasn’t claiming anything — or, perhaps I misunderstand what you mean? Would you mind clarifying?
Oh, yeah — I wasn’t inferring that any one of those is the appropriate tag for this purpose; I was just mentioning that there are methods for tagging alternate names depending on the context, and that, perhaps, something similar could be done for this purpose (which, imo, it seems is main topic of discussion in the linked forum post).
Do note that there are commonly used methods in OSM to add local names [1.1], alternate names [1.2], language specific names [1.2], etc [1].

That’s because Windows copied KDE Plasma, obviously. /j

Ah! Interesting! That’s good to know. I didn’t consider that some Lemmy apps or browser UI’s might not format the Markdown how I’ve been expecting. IIRC, the correct CommonMark Markdown format for plain text links is to do
<uri-inside-angle-brackets>; I’ll change the URL in the post’s body to that format to improve support. Thanks for letting me know! 😊
Looks like the thread is gone now […]
Hrm, I can still see it.
What specific features are you looking for?
