  • Sorry which are we talking about the rejected the PR, DHH or kling?

    I suspect its DHH just making sure

    Edit: Found it

    Kling rejected with: “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.”

    For SerenityOS documentation to use a singular they to not assume gender.

    Edit 2: For the record, this is even more stupid than you think. The documentation was written with gendered language for a male reader only in mind.

    “Hey, I fixed your bad writing”

    “POLITICS?!1?!%?!”

    The tweet about Kirk has some firm context with this. I’d call it pretty dang likely that kling is a fan…




  • An intranet is a local and private computer network.

    The internet is a network of intranets, or more accurately, a network by which computers of disparate networks can connect.

    Intra, meaning inside or within. Inter, meaning between or among.

    Interdepartmental communication would be communication between departments, while intradepartmental communication would be within a single department.

    The inter vs intra is the difference here.


  • Back then, an internet (lower case “i”) was a small internal network of computers that communicated with each other.

    That is an intranet, not internet, and is still applicable as a term. You just hear people say LAN more these days.

    “World Wide Web” turned out to be a mouthful to say, so we replaced it with “the Internet” instead. Although most websites still start with “www” to represent their global reach.

    The world wide web was always just one part of the internet, specifically the portion supported by http. Ftp, email, etc existed then as well, but was not part of the www.
