@niconiconi I only accept high-dollars as payment, none of that low-dollar crap you commoners try to use as currency!

@bonifartius

Same in english. That is why the #2 is proper, it has one long s and one round s because of those rules. #3 is not proper but I included it because I felt it looked nicer.

@calligraphy

@cee Doctors dont have hand writing. They just have a seizure on paper and rely on the psychic abilities of others to "read" it.

@SirHendrick Not entirely accurate... Doing rigorous experimentation under peer review to refute and/or confirm scientific assertions is how you do science.. Simply questioning the available scientific data and studies without actually doing the rigorous experimentation is **not** how you do science.

@underlap

I just followed them without any problem. Most likely they have you blocked if you cant follow them (the follow button would be disabled).

@rust@octodon.social

@cee thanks

@robert "lets go to eastern europe" said no dutchman ever.

Playing with the archaic long-s style.

1 is the modern form,

2 would be the form from 18th century and before,

3 is replacing all styles of s with the long-s

I noticed.

@torresjrjr

Yea I have no problem with that being the default so long as I can configure to change it. I might think its a poor choice of a default (as I do in this case), but I wouldnt start a fuss over it or particularly care, I just turn it off.

@NEETzsche @mkljczk @ducheng

@torresjrjr

I mean, its not like the **user** needs to go through anything. A server admin is expected to configure the server when it is first deployed. I would hope a responsible admin would turn this off. What is or isnot default in the configuration process for the admin, a one-time thing that doesnt effect the users, is not a huge issue for me.

I have strong enough convictions to turn off the feature should I run such a server. That should be good enough for you as a user (as it doesnt effect you).. if not, so be it.

@icedquinn

I wouldnt go quite that far, but yea WHO has leaned towards addressing public confidence as a priority over factual unbias information, particularly sugar coating their language and presentation of data in an effort to not have the general public loose confidence in vaccines. So yea... I dont really trust them as a great source.

@NEETzsche @mkljczk @ducheng @torresjrjr

@torresjrjr

I'd be against this as well, but being optional I would personally give it a pass from a "do i want to host this software" standpoint.

@NEETzsche @mkljczk @ducheng

Hmmm... I am considering if I want to start using the archaic long-s in my copperplate writing... Let me try to do an example and see how I like it.

@Acer allocators allow you to control how memory is allocated for objects where their size is not known up front. One notable reason is to make memory allocation more efficient than a naive/generic approach would be.

@bonifartius "great tits" are redundant. All tits are great.
