I think you are doing the post injustice by hijacking it. FOSS maintainers can get a burnout even without toxic users - hard deadlines and the understanding that people really rely…

This is ideal for large argument maps, thank you!

If those "many successful services" are FOSS, you are a very rare breed of developers - one I have not yet encountered in almost 30 years of FOSS development. Could you please link…

Yes, but ICE can pick you at random (probably lawfully at least close to borders and international airports) while you always have to talk with CBP when entering the country. I per…

This is travel advice I've been following for 25 years; because, as the article states, the rules are not new: Go through a port of entry that is not on US soil so being refused en…

That's not the same group. "Fraunhofer" is not a single group but the umbrella organization for 76 different institutes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_Society

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is a good foundation. Darija (Moroccan Arabic) is probably furthest away because it is heavily influenced by the Berber languages (and Arabs are not th…
