Some kinda irony there with the Advertisement branding on the left, yeah?

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago

that's the city it is in, which is kinda important to know in the minneapolis-st paul area. there are hundreds of separate municipalities, several street numbering schemes, and street names are not exclusive to one city.

New Brighton's logo does look extremely corporate though.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

you'll love the accompanying slogan, then:

"building tomorrow today"

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

It looks like a council logo

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 11 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but when I try to make a fork of it the local government fines me for building an illegal road again.

There's a river Foss that runs through York. Brings a new meaning to sending patches upstream...

isn't it FLOSS? Free libre open source?

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

FOSS was the original. Free and Open Source Software. But, English being English, "free" was too ambiguous (free as in gratis vs. unrestricted), so the French came to the rescue with the much superior word "libre". That's how F/LOSS (Free/Libre) was coined.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
