Wikipedia knows what saint the city was named after: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego#Name

A search engine could easily enough set up their own Lemmy server to search from. Same with Mastodon.

Sure, but if Google actually did that, a lot of people here would go apeshit about them profiting from this content.

Well, while utterly terrible, that would pretty much only affect people here in our nation, that's not something that would give the feeling that "the universe had just changed".

You know, CVS wasn't really that bad, just primitive and outdated.

Luckily I'm young enough that I never had to use RCS.

The first version control system I ever used was CVS and it was first released in 1986 so it was already old and well established when I first came to use it.

Anyone in these past forty years not using a version control system to keep track of their source code have only themselves to blame.

I must say that nothing afterwards has ever given me the feeling of This Changes Everything quite the way the fall of the Berlin Wall did.

Two evenings ago I had dinner with a friend who grew up on the other side of the wall. It's not something that we really talk about very often, but it's impossible to forget.

Ananas? 🍍

I don't believe that the US has any real high-speed rail.

Electrolux.

That's a Fältmössa m/59, truly one of the great ones, I still have mine too.

Thank you for this very enlightening explanation!

While it doesn't make any sense at all that "a Discord server" (an online community hosted by the Discord company) is used to mean a totally different thing from "a Discord server" (a server which runs the Discord software), your explanation makes all the other comments here suddenly make sense.

I had to check that I hadn't dreamed this up on my own, but looking around now there are claims to having Discord servers all around, these were just the first handfull I now found:

"FreeBSD has a Discord server to socialize, get support, support others, learn, contribute, collaborate, and stay up to date on all things FreeBSD and Open Source."

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Discord/DiscordServer

"If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum."

https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea

"We're transitioning to our own discord server!"

https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une/discussions/111

"We’re opening our own Discord server as a replacement for our Gitter."

https://www.crowdsec.net/blog/crowdsec-on-discord

"I'm excited to announce the launch of our Discord server, VigneshDevHub, designed to build a thriving open-source community where developers of all levels can collaborate, learn, and work on amazing projects together!"

"Our Discord server got a makeover."

That you're now telling me that none of them actually have their own Discord server is just bizarre. I can't be the only one who took those words at face value, simply assuming that they in fact had their own Discord servers.

No, there are no such people.

Have you ever used discord?

No, not really.

The name server isn’t prescriptive. It’s not your own server. It’s just your own chat rooms

Eh, you lost me there, what's that supposed to mean? How could my own server suddenly become not my own server if I started to use Discord?

What's that supposed to mean?

What do you mean, how could your own server be "hosted by discord"?

Don't feel too bad about it, remarkably few countries really do have democracy (even though many have more of it than the US).

This seems like a pretty obvious one: We have democracy.

What do you mean by that? Tons of organizations, groups and people publish that they have their own Discord servers.
