Huh? In what world is it ableist to advocate for/promote the use of a real accessibility feature over a workaround that doesn't work on all platforms on which people might be seeing this content??

I can guarantee you that is not the argument that anyone not voting for Harris because of Gaza was using.

I am pretty sure Ubuntu is still far and away the most popular desktop distro. For servers I would have guessed it was something like RedHat/CentOS or possibly Debian.

In my head I have always thought it was YOO-fee, similar to the beginning of "Europe"...

Huh? It's referenced by name right there in the screenshot...

I think it's correct as-is. Inserting a "were" would make that clause read as independent. With how the sentence is currently structured, that doesn't work.

That's not to say you couldn't have

The tracks are now unruley [sic] and wild—the people once tied to them were killed in crosswalks by giant trucks

if you want, but the comma needs to change to something like a dash or a semicolon. With a comma (i.e., as a subordinate clause), "were" doesn't make sense.

Because he defederated them?

Well, yeah. Kinda like how most .tv domains don't really have anything to do with Tuvalu, or .io with the British Indian Ocean Territory, etc.

The object doesn't absorb their mass, but rather their energy (which admittedly can be equated to a mass via a factor of c^2, but that's not actually what's happening). The change in momentum that results from a photon hitting you isn't caused by a change in m, it comes from a change in v. If mass were the quantity being transferred, solar sails wouldn't work to move anything; they would just sit there and get more massive as photons hit them.

Here is my attempt at digitizing that plot and then log-scaling the vertical axis.
