@mlinksva It would be easy to prove that it's just an unmodified redistribution. Should redistributors who are just recompiling *have* to prove that in order to keep the name? Probably not, but I do have a small amount of sympathy for the point that recompiling can introduce problems, like via the compiler used even if source unmodified.

"For reasons unclear, Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs maintains a ranking of cities by dumpling consumption per capita"

Yet another reason we need #reproduciblebuilds -- trademark concerns around recompiled binaries.

@penaddict Yeah appears to be Squarespace blocking my VPN IP. Off the VPN works okay :/

@penaddict Computer. Could it be VPN related? I can test.. but that would be an odd way to block.

...the Journal of Texture Studies lists 144 Chinese terms for food texture...In Japan, such terms number more than 400." (I hope this isn't like the Inuit words for snow thing, blame the NYT if so.)

I am so glad to know the Journal of Texture Studies exists.

It seems like in my world, the phrase "good for you!" is ascending. 1) Am I imagining this? 2) Do you say it? 3) Do you like it when someone says it to you? (with apparent sincerity)

My "favorite" part of this is where they asked #ChatGPT if the cases cited were real, it said yes, and they believed it. I only wish the judge and opposing counsel had also used ChatGPT to write their reactions -- would it have called itself out?
