If we want to do something radically different, there's always gopher and gemini browsers.

ed is sadly not installed by default on some modern distros. Even vi is often a symlink to vim in vi-mode.

I see it as: mv is just renaming a file, in this case a directory file, with a different full name (path)

I learned the proper meaning of tar flags a long time ago, but then I accidentally saw a post somewhere describing "czf" and "xzf" as acronyms in german accent: "Create Ze File!" and "Xtract Ze File!" and now everytime I use tar in the simpler ways I hear in my head a german voice shouting these words as I type the flags.

It's intuitive if your previous editor was ed(1) and you're using an ADM-3A-like keyboard.

I like your example with that song. If we interpret the scene as both acting out the behaviour the've been taught, they are both reinforcing each others behaviours. Assuming that both wanted to be together but there was an established "dance" around it. They can only work together. What if one (and only one) of them had not done their part? If he hadn't, she would have left, possibly feeling that he didn't really want her to stay. If she hadn't, she risks being labeled "easy". In both cases, again if we assume they both actually wanted to stay and feel good about it, they don't both get what they want.
So... if we now, as a conscious effort from society, are trying to get away from this bad system, it seems to me that the only way is a gradual de-escalation from both sides. It also seems to me that if we only tell men to never "pursue", but do nothing about the "hard to get"-behaviour, then men who follow the new instructions or script will be left with no chance to meet someone.
What I think is missing from the discourse today is that it's a hard sell to young men to change their behaviour, if doing so is punished by the same people asking them to change. We're caught in a stalemate where we need to help each other simultaneously, with mutual understanding, trust, and care. In that very sensitive process, trying to move it forward by telling someone they are a potential rapist is probably just making men dig deeper trenches and refuse to listen. Some people want this, I believe. The conflict that lets you feel righteous anger and resentment. But it's not helping.

For a while Debian had IceDove and IceWeasel due to trademark issues.

gnuplot surprisingly also has a strange license, containing "Permission to modify the software is granted, but not the right to distribute the complete modified source code."

What are main things you've found that BSDs lack to make you prefer GNU+Linux? What are things from the BSD world you wish that GNU+Linux had?

How do you decide what to archive, and what is the long term plan? If Annas goes down it can be pieced together again? Or is it served to users now too?

The archive team sounds interesting!

What can an ordinary user do at this point that would help?

Sorry, a "storage box" ìs a product by a company called Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/

sshfs is a way to mount something remote through ssh so it behaves like a local directory.

I have a hetzner storage box mounted with sshfs, but I wish I didn't have to since I'm paying for protondrive too. It took me a whole day to upload my personal files to protondrive through the web interface since it crashed the browser repeatedly and I had to verify what got uploaded or not each time.

That's how I think about it too. I guess the original description was a bit vague, what they did to the americas. It includes both. First invasion, then immigration.

I could be wrong, but to me those words describe the initial phase. Once established as a society, the rest involves people moving into this society, which I would call immigration.

What would you call it instead?

It's more that changes can be made with coordination across the OS, with a shared vision and goal. Linux distros are primarily integration projects, putting together the components from other peoples projects. BSDs are in control of the base OS project as one coherent project.

I see what you mean now. I thought you meant as in upstream/downstream.

Tumbleweed is not a derivative of Leap.
