I think about the amount of thought and research that many of my friends have conducted when naming their children (including looking up famous real and fictional people with that name, doing word associations, etc). Then these guys come along and just say ‘fuck it, let’s just call her after that blonde girl off TV, Khaleesi I think?’

What's funny is that back in ancient days, nobody gave a damn about how to name their kids. "Got a baby? My name is Paul. Let's call him Paul McPaulson. Ok... back to the fields."

I don't know, man. It may sound stupid because we know of the show. But if you separate the show from the name, Khaleesi doesn't sound half bad.

Even its other meaning, which I think means "queen" or something (right?) is okay. The name "Reina" (literally "Queen" in Spanish) is acceptable - sort-of old-fashioned, but acceptable.

Having said that, yeah, I usually roll my eyes at parents giving kids names because of some show, movie, song or celebrity with a weird name.

My son will be named Barack, as God intended.

That is definitely why they apologized for it. Because they royally fucked up.

I like operating systems as boring as possible. Let it manage the underlying system while I focus on work. I think you just convinced me to try Arch now.

I don't follow. Couldn't you also claim the opposite as well? That neighbors are diverting water to her property?

Edit: Nevermind. I read the article and yeah, the neighbors may have a case. But I'd like to know the full story.

Thanks for the insight.

Ugh man, that's true. Would you say that sdf.org offers a better experience content-wise?

I can understand you, friend. We both want the same thing. Unfortunately, I don't know how to help in that respect, so I'll help in the ways I can - spreading the word and contributing to code if necessary.

Elaborate.

Got it.

Kinda weird that you focus on the financial side on this site of all places. I thought Lemmy didn't care too much about that.

But regardless. I don't care about the financial side. There are several competing open source browsers and any of them can take the helm.

I think you're assuming too much.

If Firefox disappears overnight, do you think the devs working for it are just going to sit down and twiddle their thumbs? They'll pick another project and carry on.

There are several examples of this happening. MySQL vs MariaDB, OpenSSL, PDF viewers, hell, even Linux can be included here too.
