There are no large corporations or institutions involved. It&#39;s a small community. So naming and shaming would involve shaming individuals, not companies, and I don&#39;t want to do that. 2025-08-28T09:48:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrfz2tlk9p59wwywen8p632rexc4eet4yx0p0xrxdqxfvze6233qczyq7n3lt5p2m5s87u72gsx5weh8yt5sgal7hesgy70m3nvkaq49w67t8v0z5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyq7jfeu4jk3xe0pdre0hdg6yrqzh2mr0znxent00yxfqtmqd8afgfujyh0'>nevent1q…jyh0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don&#39;t *think* I&#39;ve omitted anything relevant, though of course I may have. There&#39;s no question that I was sarcastic and possibly a bit derisive at the speaker&#39;s answer. But I believe that&#39;s the only part of the complaint that holds water. <br/><br/>I have lots of reasons not to give specific details. A major one is that I hope the community can talk about this and make some decisions about what kind of community we want to be. I don&#39;t think external pressure will contribute to that. 2025-08-28T09:47:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvlza2jlvqnxlhwyjcnfn86t9mg4j6ajhj6zqvyn9gk35yaeq6hlczyq7n3lt5p2m5s87u72gsx5weh8yt5sgal7hesgy70m3nvkaq49w674cuhyf I wrote something about harmful norms of interaction in tech communities.

I need some help ... I want to collect the phrase &#34;Hello, World!&#34; in as many different natural languages as possible (i.e. things like Swahili, French, Hindi, etc. - not programming languages!)<br/><br/>If you speak languages other than English or Welsh and you&#39;re willing to give me a translation, I&#39;ll be extremely grateful. (Ideally you&#39;ll be a fluent speaker of any language(s) you contribute - it&#39;s important for my project that the examples are correct and idiomatic.) 2025-03-22T17:43:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9hduk8grm7lueh2ssc73qsh4wd4v3svduwnddm6zcpysj7n3y2nczyq7n3lt5p2m5s87u72gsx5weh8yt5sgal7hesgy70m3nvkaq49w676hpuev In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfxk6kptz4czsjzxphq7zsykypfc4hg95shrm26sjx3nwg4t2fwes9z03k5'>nevent1q…03k5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yep - it’s also the wrong surname! I just think it would be funny to complain about something other than the thing they would expect me to complain about :) 2024-12-17T22:10:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx0prvadmsgc3w0ly88g23kacsy77h02nturcc4hty8knk5ahqq5qzyq7n3lt5p2m5s87u72gsx5weh8yt5sgal7hesgy70m3nvkaq49w67j4gje8 Considering pointing out to older family members that it should be “Mr. and Dr. N.

I am always, always available to admire cats. This invitation will be open in perpetuity, to friends and strangers alike.<br/><br/>Thank you for your attention. 2023-11-28T14:13:53Z
