Doubtful. Librewolf still uses Firefox as base.

Which by that point they'd already fixed. They mentioned they also accidentally pushed to the wrong branch.

I dunno, this just looks like someone accidentally made a bad commit and instead of being mature about it and letting them fix it we get statements like "all bridges have been burned" and a split in the community. That's a bit overblown, and if at the first sign of disagreement the decision is to blow up a project you're making it very hard to work with you.

The program started off as IMP, Image Manipulation Program. They added a G (General) to make it a reference to a character in Pulp Fiction.

The name's history has nothing to do with ableism. Besides, not many artists care; look up what a "gimping machine" is :).

Words can have multiple meanings and context matters a lot. Besides its usage as a slur is pretty outmoded by now.

I mean politically speaking it's Danish, so I suppose it makes sense to group it with Europe in some ways.

It does look a little odd though.

The Nedelin disaster claimed more lives than NASA did over its entire existence.

So this is the application form:

Mamdani was born in Uganda to a Ugandan father and an Indian (Gujarati) mother. Which box would you tick?

Mamdani opted to tick "Black/African American" as well as "Asian", and at the "Other" box wrote "Ugandan".

I personally fail to see the problem. Given the constraints of these boxes, this seems to be the most accurate way of describing his ethnicity? Am I missing something here? Why is NYT presenting this as an issue at all?

Trump saying he's white despite him being orange seems like a bigger discrepancy.

Most non-voters don't hold significantly different beliefs than the voting population. In non-competitive states, it means motivating them to vote is unlikely to tip the scales. Why bother tipping the results from 60% to 55% by spending millions on it? Better to allocate those funds to a 53% to 48% potential flip.

In battleground states they do try to reach these people.

I was so certain the link would lead to the website of the British Museum.

Interesting theory, but can you back it up with any credible evidence? Because amongst priests, approx 4% appears to commit child abuse. This compares to 5-7% for public school teachers for example (source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/do-the-right-thing/201808/separating-facts-about-clergy-abuse-fiction). It seems the priesthood doesn't really attract more pedophiles than other jobs do (surveys suggest approx. 5% of the population is a pedophile).

Perhaps their offense rate is higher given the opportunities they have, but I can't quickly find good statistics on that.

They put money in Bitcoin, but not the tech behind it. To them it's just stocks to be manipulated in order to get a profit.

Hamas has 240 hostages, which is a lot of leverage to have.
