I’ve seen USians complaining about our word for black people, ignoring that calling someone black (like the color) used to be as offensive to us as the N word is to them, while our equivalent to the N word was the non-racist option. Older people who haven’t caught up with recent trends might still find referring to people as black offensive.
I’m new to the fediverse and still learning how things work here. I apologize if I break the rules or etiquette of communities and instances. Please don’t assume malice or disregard, I’ll try my best to be respectful but there’s like a lot to learn and keep track of.
I like Emacs, GNU, free knowledge (free as in freedom), Lisp/Scheme programming, and software (and hardware, and everything) that is designed for autonomy, licenses aren’t enough. I’m ditching Linux as soon as Hurd becomes viable as a daily driver.

The word or string “ass” may be replaced by “butt”, resulting in “clbuttic” for “classic”, “clbuttroom” for “classroom”, “buttignment” for “assignment”, and “buttbuttinate” for “assassinate”.
This is seriously one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. Like gosh, I’d recommend everyone give that article a full read. I couldn’t even get mad at the stupidity. I’m bookmarking this to read again when I have a bad day.

I mean if using UTF-8 a single “character” can be twice the size of that. Depending on what counts as a character it can be even bigger. There’s no way this wouldn’t go **rribly wrong.
