Being anti-Semitic as a category should also include being anti-muslim. Semitic peoples include Arabs as well as Jews. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people
Diablo is not available on steam though.
I started going to a lot of metal concerts. More than in my twenties, and will turn 40 next year.
Seconded. The Expanse's intro song is amazing!
Oh flutter is with dart, not Rust. I was just giving a bit of my profile to talk a bit about my interests / background.
Kotlin is cool, but let me know if you change your mind about flutter. Though it is backed by Google, it does seem like it is gaining some momentum also among the FOSS communities, and it has the added bonus that the app can then be deployed on Android and iOS (or even desktop / web).
If you ever decide to do that, sign me up for some dev time. I currently mainly work with Qt and C++, but want to learn eg. flutter. Know Rust, Go and Java and a few frameworks around there. Frontend I did some angular and react in the past. For now I'd be able to invest something like 10 hrs per week.
Just this week came across Joplin https://joplinapp.org/
Few cool things:
- Markdown
- Multimedia notes
- Integrates with many cloud providers, including self hosted stuff like Nextcloud
I concede to your second point, and I am starting to see why black/white-list can be a sensitive term and just trying to change the connotation like I suggested somewhere above is not tractable.
I still think that education is key. Not going outright and calling people racist, that is counterproductive I wholeheartedly agree. But instilling in them from a younger age the evil of racism instead.
As for the anecdote in your third bullet point: instead of renaming black/white-list terms to something else, what if we actually educate that shop owner about racism and why it is idiotic and evil to discriminate against a person because of their skin color?
Is this really a good way to move forward? Rename everything and pretend like it did not happen? It feels like this kind of approach is just hiding things under the carpet. Renaming things that may have negative connotations due to a troubled history is too extreme form of censorship (similar to book burning) and a bit lazy IMHO.
All these technical terms are very descriptive of the concepts they abstract, (eg. it could be argued that black/white-listing is in relation to physical light and how it reflects off white and gets absorbed by black).
Disclaimer: I am culturally very far away from the colonial history so I may be a bit biased when I say renaming things like that is just dumb.
