Well yes, generally that’s how jargon is developed. Typically people who don’t contribute to the knowledge base of a field don’t have any say in how that field uses language.
I see it as the exact opposite. If we let the professionals like cartographers and historians hold the reigns rather than people who don’t have anything to do with it, eg. some pedophile politicians, nothing would have been changed.
Have you ever been to a niche scientific community conference? It’s always been 90% politics.
The Magellanic Cloud community collectively decided that they didn’t want to study objects named after someone who had subjugated the ancestors of the communities studying it, so they agreed to call them the Milky Clouds. A pop science article went out about it and people complained that it wasn’t science, it was politics. But unless you’re a part of that community, you don’t get to decide on the names of the objects that these people understand better than literally anyone else alive or dead. They’re doing more science regarding these objects than anyone else has ever tried, they get to decide what’s best, even if it appears political.
Yes because by the time I actually get passed the character creator or the introduction I’ve usually already used up my time
HiddenLychee@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•Gemini is getting ready to replace Google Assistant on AndroidEnglish6·15 days agoYup, my experience exactly. Couldn’t set timers or schedule meetings, and if it can’t do that it’s useless. So I switched back to assistant and never thought about it again.
Yeah that’s the part that erks me the most. Ain’t no way that chicken is staying together.
No one’s going to point out the absurd starting assumption KE=mcT??

Thank you! Annoyed by the lack of information elsewhere in the thread
If women everywhere suddenly felt that men showing their faces was arousing, should they be required to cover that too?

So as it turns out, there really are only extreme Republicans. If they aren’t extreme they’re banned from participating in the party.

Make the jump to Linux?English3·3 months agoPeople might get a little emotional about it but I bounce between Linux Mint, windows 10, and windows 11 and honestly I totally agree that windows 11 is trash. When my windows 10 computer reaches it’s limit, I might try to figure out how to run games on Linux/proton or whatever that is.
HiddenLychee@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential)English61·3 months agoYeah I think Lemmy often forgets that kids exist and are the target audience for Nintendo games. I say good for them, it might be hella expensive but at least Nintendo appears to be providing a “safe” place for kids to use the internet. There’s really nothing for kids anymore these days other than getting an eating disorder on tiktok.
