In the hypothetical future scenario where the output is good enough I don't think there's much of a point in making a distinction between something that is optically manipulated via lens vs done so via software.

There's plenty of non-left news/media orgs. WSJ, Washington Examiner, New York Post, National Review, Daily Mail, Newsweek, Washington Times. I don't think most of those would be considered fringe media.

> Meanwhile you keep forcing the US-centric view onto the world.

You keep saying this, but the world view presented i've presented is anything but. The coolie example is specifically addressing non-US racism right?

> Of course what makes it dishonest is your monopoly on the truth, got it.

No, what makes it dishonest is that a bad example was specifically chosen because it helped the point. Where a good example would have been detrimental to the point.

> which was probably supposed to evoke some kind of indignation from me

No, you've been indignant the whole time. The US existing and having people in it that have their own perspectives seems to be some kind of attack on your identity which is causing you to lose reason and froth at the mouth.

You keep talking about "shoving" and "forcing", but the only person forcing anything is you and your ad nauseam repetition of some "US centric" accusation. It's just as baseless and pointless the 10th time as the first. Everyone gets it, you can chill.

> The black people in the United States, specifically

If Bubba goes on twitter and starts calling black people from Canada, Australia, Mozambique, or wherever "coon" they'll probably be offended by it once they figure out what it means.

> Now. Are you also going to dismiss this as "some guy from South Africa ffs"?

That wasn't me, so no i'm not. I'm not "being maximally culturally and racially insensitive to anything that is not US", I just answered your question with the simple and obvious truth. Honestly you're coming across as more of the "offended" type than the people asking for the name change in the first place.

And your quote isn't really helping you out. Comparing changing the name of a new software library to changing the name of a long standing physical product on shelves is dishonest when we could just do a simple apples to apples comparison.

If I consider a hypothetical situation where I named my project "Coolie" because I think it's a fun word and I used to like Coolio, then someone comes along and says hey that's pretty offensive to this subset of people on the other side of the globe for these reasons that will never affect you. I'd just change it. It would cost me nothing and probably net me some goodwill.

Does that usually happen? People escaping media scrutiny by donating large amounts to the left?

Are there any news outlets outside of the US that wouldn’t be affected by these insidious US leftist institutions that should be reporting on it?

> So, to quote myself: "The question is: who decides it is a slur especially in our global world? Somehow, increasingly, it's the white Americans who end up being offended on everyone's behalf."

The black people on the receiving end of “coon” would be the decision makers in this case.

And besides that, during the googling process of figuring out if the name is taken the negative connotations of this one would come up.

Anyway I’m working on a new terminal string styling library that I’ve named Colored which should be of some interest to you.

Luckily most projects won't be around for infinite time

The animals that we have been breeding for ages are pretty far removed from their wild counterparts of yore.

Also, there's a lot of homeless people that would live better as my slaves, but you'd probably still rather see them free.

requestIdleCallback isn’t something that you need to protect yourself from. It just executes a function when there’s nothing else happening on your page essentially.

> why don't we have "text assistants"

Siri has this as an accessibility feature since iOS 11, but might not be exactly what you're looking for

lmao intellectual terrorism, yes my personal opinion on the people who cling to their bigoted views is terrorizing you. Get real.

I've been considering the Withings Scanwatch because it looks closer to a normal watch.

No, what's quite a stretch is the ancestor comment describing our society as being designed for a minority.

And yes actually, trans males would feel like they are being treated like shit by the people in this thread absolutely insisting that gender == sex.

The popular fake meats like beyond don’t contain soy, they use pea protein in its place I believe
