More ironically, some of them sell anti-spam SaaS. I recently received the following email:

This always made sense to me because they are next to each other on an AZERTY keyboard: tab,A,Z,E,R,T,Y,U,I,O,P,^,$,return

The room was only illuminated with infrared light which means that you can’t easily discriminate color + taking and processing photos in color would probably take more time and storage

> Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft have increased the number and intensity of traffic jams, Airbnb and other home-sharing apps are accused of breaking down neighborhoods’ social fabric, and self-driving cars are causing all kinds of trouble [...]

If one accident is "a lot of trouble" then humans are way more troublesome... this whole statement seems like a real stretch. Airbnb may be driving housing crisis in some states and countries, for sure. But Uber causing traffic jams ? I don't really see where it's coming from.

From the README:

> Prettymapp is based on a rewrite of the fantastic prettymaps project by @marceloprates.

I'm always flabbergasted by the price of fiber plans in NA. The max you could pay for a household in France is less than 50€ for 8Gbps (and i assume prices are similar or lower in other EU countries), even accounting for wage gap it's quite a difference.

> unfairly benefiting from the existing terminology created by codeweavers

Seems like a stretch. I don't see a problem with reusing good terminology. It's not like it's trademarked.

I can see "bottles" becoming the generic term, it makes more sense than "prefixes".

I'm not sure i get your point.

> Blacks can't sing about how that makes them feel. So not all people are equally allowed to express their artistic vision or their feelings...

Okay, freedom of speech is (de jure) universal, and should be (de facto) universal, i think we can agree on that.

> so the ask is for others to tone it down as a hoped for step in the right direction

I don't think asking people to not express themselves would be a step in the right direction. Isn't that the opposite of freedom of expression ?
