andy-p··on Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12M Given to DHH
Simple typo. Internet and real life are very different once you remove algorithmic driven social media feeds.

I would suggest not interpreting (your) algorithmic driven social media feeds as the “mainstream cultural mainstream”. As an older white male, at no point in the last 10 years have I felt exposed or subjected to the extreme views you’ve enumerated.

“mainstream cultural narrative” … I’m not sure where in the world this would be true but do please cite sources to back this claim up if you want to sound in any way credible.

I do agree. AllSides does not reference 'far' on any of their ratings [1] and I see no value in introducing it as a pejorative term.

AllSides correctly lists The Guardian as 'Left'. By adding 'far' to your characterization I can only assume you wish to advertise your own biases and / or denigrate the publication. It is a reputable newspaper with a long history of journalism awards - an appropriate example being this: https://www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-office/2023/jun/23/gua...

The fact that the current administration and its supporters have managed to categorize The Guardian in this manner speaks volumes about their goals wrt any media that attempts to hold them to account.

Pascal's book [1] highlights various issues with the language & is worth reading if you are not familiar with it.

Example:

select * from customers c inner join orders o on o.order_id = c.customer_id

Legal syntax but clearly incorrect.
