19·1 year agoYup. From the article:
Payments of the bonds to the descendants of creditors was only finalised in 2015 when the British Government decided to modernise the gilt portfolio by redeeming all remaining undated gilts.
Since 2018, numerous Freedom of Information Act requests have been sent to the British government and Bank of England for the names of those who were paid with the bonds, of which all were denied.
Britain paid reparations to the slaveowners and their descendants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Compensation_Act_1837
The last check went out in 2015. So yes, people alive today benefited from this. directly.
If they want to make it fair, they should pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved people and/or take back the money they gave to slaveowners.
interesting.
the default config file is basically “Drew’s preferences watered down a bit for a general audience”
alacritty used to be Drew’s preferred terminal for sway.
sway does not come packaged with any terminal.
foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they’re both good wayland software, though

Who’s Oriya?

Chess Grandmaster Hans Niemann did not cheat at chess with a vibrator up his ass in order to be called “that one guy”. Use Hans Niemann’s name with respect.
2·1 year agoFor those who don’t know, the strategy is called Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish. The phase comes from Microsoft who used this to (try to) crush competing document editors, Java implementations, browsers, and operating systems. Other big tech companies employ similar strategies.
Facebook coming to the Fediverse is the Embrace phase of this process and that makes Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, Misskey, and Akkoma the competitors.
It’s a meme. This image shows a lemmy user asking a highly technical question and a caption saying that that is the least technical user, implying that all other lemmy users are even more technical.
