I’m not good enough to give recommendations, but meanwhile some questions might make it easier. What is your budget? Is open source important to you? What’s the biggest thing you want to print? Are there any special features you’re looking for? Do you want to tinker with it or rather have it “just work”?

The author of JSLint wrote:
"So I added one more line to my license, was that, “the Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.” And thought: I’ve done my job!

Also about once a year, I get a letter from a lawyer, every year a different lawyer, at a company. I don’t want to embarrass the company by saying their name, so I’ll just say their initials, “IBM,” saying that they want to use something that I wrote, 'cause I put this on everything I write now. They want to use something that I wrote and something that they wrote and they’re pretty sure they weren’t gonna use it for evil, but they couldn’t say for sure about their customers. So, could I give them a special license for that?

So, of course!

So I wrote back—this happened literally two weeks ago—I said, “I give permission to IBM, its customers, partners, and minions, to use JSLint for evil.” "

PC-DOS on an IBM 5150 (iirc).

To increase their UNIX skills.

I agree that speech that incites violence is dangerous too. In theory I can imagine a net benefit if we could silence some voices in various places. The big question then is, who do we trust to decide which people should be silenced? I think governments have historically shown that they can’t be trusted. Then private people? Lots of people across the political spectrum feel that their version of truth is so important that they deem it moral to silence others, so what it comes down to is just who does it better. The image of an angry mob is no fun if the mob has decided that you should be silenced, even though you feel like you’re on the good side. They probably think they are the good ones. Who then?

As long as the consequences are words and non-violent actions. Advocating violence as a consequence for someone expressing an idea is imho dangerous and should be avoided.

Ads and data scraping? If we can’t survive without that I would rather go back to usenet, irc, and mailing lists etc.

I think the point isn’t to sort out all interactions and travels, but rather to convey the feeling that “this has gotten out of hand”. I interpret the confusion to be the intended message.

Just like TeX :)

I like the TeX version scheme, it starts with version 3. After that it’s:
3.1
3.14
3.141
3.1415 etc. Current stable release is 3.141592653. The message is that each version is a more accurate approximation of pi. It’s not growing much bigger, but better.

What if someone created a /c/books on their own instance with bad intentions, and filled it with propaganda, porn, and ads?

Maybe theology is discussions about OpenBSD founder Theo de Raadt.

I see, I thought you were asking me how I know I experience things in a qualia way. I suspect it can’t be proven to someone else.

The Chinese room argument. It’s hard to ignore the reality of qualia.

It’s been thoroughly researched by linguists. The main source is the pronounciation guides written by the romans themselves. They describe how to trill the R’s and how to say diphtongs etc, and compare latin pronounciation with the letters of other languages, mainly greek.

The romans pronounced it “uike uersa” or “wike wersa” (two syllables for each word). The letter “c” was always a k-sound, and “v” was like our “u”, it was the same letter for a long time. So another example, if you want to say “Veni vidi vici” the historically accurate way would be “Weni widi wiki”.

I also found OSM around 10 years ago. I added my entire village from barely existing on the map to all landuse and small roads, bike paths, things. And this was before there was good enough aerial images, so I had to use GPS and walk/bike all the roads, walk around all the fields and areas.
It was great!
Then came satellite pics and I could add buildings too. But I miss that outdoorsy feeling. I keep my eyes on new buildings and developments in the city I live in now. Do you know of any best practices for local surveying to ensure up to date map quality?

How about a federated archive.org? (Kids these days are crazy about scanned public domain books and stuff.)

There’s an RFC for TLAs: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5513

I’ve been doing a lot of translations for Debian into my native language, and the most important factor there is being part of a translation team of people. Many times the english original is ambiguous or just poorly written by a programmer, and with a team you can get help and find the intended meaning and its proper translation. We read each others translations and come up with constructive criticisms.
To me, what makes or breaks good work is the organisation and cooperation between people: the community. I believe the great challenge of FOSS is the organisation of people and their efforts.
