  • The original audio after mastering is also still called a master, but I haven’t seen anyone complain about that. And that (as well as the same meaning for other media) is the word that the branch name master came from, so etymology can’t really be an argument there (though I also think etymology is terrible reasoning for renaming something in general).


  • There’s also the possibility of having genuinely good intent, but still speaking entirely from your own conjecture of what might make others uncomfortable.

    Ultimately, you should always talk to the people actually affected and take action based on that. But anyone can and should start the initiative when they think something is harmful.



  • One of the major draws of discord is the fact that they host the servers for you, for free. Anyone can make an account, click a button, and have a discord server.

    Afaik matrix does allow this (haven’t used it personally) but it’s something where I am a bit worried about hosting costs if it reaches a large scale. (Also unsure about how the matrix protocol works precisely, but if defederation is a thing which I feel like it has to be, I can see it leading to huge pains since discords use case is often about being part of a specific communitu, as opposed to twitter or reddit. Being unable to join a groip or see some messsges because of federation issues would be a major headache).




  • They don’t even have that, they just have seperate bins for cans and bottles and people use them, and the only public places to throw away trash are in convenience stores. Which tbf exist like every 400m.

    There are exceptions but generally people just keep the city clean because they want to (and social pressure).

    Bottle/can deposit system can do a lot to make bins less full though. Japan just doesn’t seem to need it.







  • Yeah I’m the same. Never really hit more than 10 tabs on desktop unless researching, and I reset them on restart anyway so they can’t accumulate. On my phone I think I’m currently at 89, and that’s only because i closed all when it went above 100.

    Also notepad++ I probably have 100+ open for the same reason. Opening something new makes a new tab, and they never reset.
