The AP establishes style guidance on the Gulf of Mexico and Mount McKinley
Does anyone other than Trump want these names changed? Alaska spent decades trying to get the name changed to Denali.

I had a random (probably dumb) idea: Given the whole Discord Drama going on, what if there was a Discord alternative, but in the style of Lemmy?
Like Matrix?

How can I report apps that falsely claim to be open source?
This first one has a QR code linking to its source: https://github.com/niilopoutanen/rss-feed
Unless I missed it, the second doesn't claim to be open source. In any case this appears to be its source: https://github.com/maco2ou/finefeed

The code for the first is there, its just on other branches, they seem to have a very unusual way of using git.

Maybe Seattle->Spokane, Spokane->Boise->SLC->Denver, Spokane->Minneapolis.
I think there also needs to be more in Canada, Vancouver->Calgary->Winnipeg->Toronto.

Even when hanging the flag vertically, this is the correct orientation, with the stars in the upper left.

It was going to take decades to recover from how badly Trump fucked up the government last time he was in power, and the economy was only just starting to recover. With another term, its unlikely we'll be able to recover within my lifetime, my children will be left worse off than me.

Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse?
This is my first Fediverse, unless XMPP counts, but I never used that across multiple instances.
I curious to see what happens with "duplicate" communities across instance, for example there are a number of "3D Printing" communities. Will one eventually become dominant and the others die off? Or what happens when the admins of one server decide not to continue running it? Will there be a way to migrate accounts and communities between servers?

Why don't smart watches use USB-C to recharge?
I assume you mean having a USB-C port on the side of the watch. Having that port would allow water to get in to the case, the cradle-style charges used by smart watches allow the case to be sealed to prevent water damage. Even if you are careful about not wearing the watch when bathing, or in the rain, or in a pool, its unlikely you remove you watch every time you wash your hands or wash dishes.

Recto: In Case Programming Isn’t Hard Enough
Am I missing something or is Recto still inherently linear? Flow control still goes one direction through the rectangles, where as the other 2D languages he points out, Befunge, Fish, and Piet, flow control can change directions. In later versions of Befunge it isn't even limited to 2D or moving in cardinal directions.

Why wasn't there a Democratic primary?
There was, but the tradition is that an incumbent president seeking reelection rarely gets challenged during the primary. Joe Biden was the only serious candidate during the Democratic primary. When he withdrew from the race after the primary, and only a few weeks before the DNC, where the nomination would be made official, there wasn't time to organize a second primary. It takes time to generate a list of candidates, get those to each of the states, have the states print ballots and organize a special election. The DNC was forced to pick a new candidate without going through another primary because they had to finalize their choice in time for the states to organize the actual election. Many states even have laws with deadlines for nominations that the DNC had to work within.

'Drip, drip, drip': Trump uses press conference to rant 'no water comes out of the shower'
Is that why he was keeping classified documents in the bathroom? Because his shower is broken? Sounds like he needs to call a plumber. Or maybe pay his water bill so they turn the water back on?

The Constitution Has Been Changed
This may be just a glitch, but the sections that are missing are alarming, they are all things Trump has sought to undermine. Everyone call your Congressmen now, make them aware of this issue so they can make sure it gets fixed.
