@Satsuma @coriander @aescling the awkward thing is you have to re-submit a remote mail request every year for a lot of the categories; the list that let you permanently vote remotely is smaller

@coriander they have to literally change the state constitution before they can allow mail voting here and i’m so bummed about it

@aescling listen to my music and that'll change

@zwol @akjcv@types.pl i don’t think people need to read Pro Git cover to cover, but i also don’t think people should write SQL queries without ever learning what a relational database is, which is the current situation with Git

and like, sorry, but it doesn’t matter how good your SQL query documentation is if your audience doesn’t know anything about relational databases; they need to go learn that first

but we get lots of people complaining that Git documentation isn’t good enough because it assumes basic working knowledge of what Git is and what it is doing in its explanations

@akjcv@types.pl ideally people would understand git before they used git but unfortunately modern software development,

@akjcv@types.pl do you know of any actual controversy regarding Han unification coming from a Chinese context? my understanding is that it is primarily Japanese users who get upset about it, and Chinese users are lightly in favour, especially(?) since simplified and traditional forms of characters are always given different codepoints. but i haven't seen much evidence either way, and would be interested in reading more words from a Chinese perspective

@coriander i work for the university of california so i was following it very closely when it all went down

@coriander i would hope they signed considering what UAW 4811 has gone thru
