They ship with zsh

The president largely doesn’t have too much power. Problem is the other two branches of government conceding theirs.

Only if that country doesn’t have info sharing treaties with the US. So much of Europe isn’t any safer than in the US.

Reddit is headquartered in San Francisco

That is what I said

I am no fan of reddit but in this case Reddit appears to have championed this users anonymity going so far as to actively draw the ire of the administration.

• Reddit refused to comply with the initial administrative subpoena
• the Federal government came back with this grand jury subpoena and warned Reddit not to disclose the existence of the subpoena or they’d consider it interference in federal law enforcement
• Reddit complied with this new legally binding subpoena, but did not comply with the demand to keep it a secret. In the contrary, they immediately alerted the user of the subpoena which allowed him time to immediately lawyer up.

You’re not wrong that you’re not safe posting on Reddit, but if this case is any indication you’re not any less safe posting in Reddit than any other site, including Lemmy.

Signing it verifies that the software was made by company that it says it was. It’s a method to avoid installing fake or malicious software.

It is on its face a good thing, with the major caveat being who is in charge of who gets to sign what.

You think the guys who don’t get paid at all are paid pretty damn well? I don’t follow.

And yet there are still people who those strings completely for free.

For sure. Most people likely would, but not as much.

The United States

She was a Sunday school teacher so it’s possible that’s where he got this one

For geographical purposes he’s still wrong. If you’re Canadian you were taught the 7-continent model in school growing up. There is no “American” continent.

That fella is using a primitive and culturally reductive unified America continent model which does not apply to the people who live here.

You just heard it from a Canadian, but also the US has not appropriated the name of entire continents for itself. The continent it shares with Canada and Mexico is “North America” and “North American” still applies to people from those countries. The US hasn’t taken anything away from anyone else in this naming scheme, and nobody who actually lives here will get confused by these terms and who they apply to.

The “critique” is a non-issue pushed mainly by uppity Europeans that nobody in this side of the pond cares about at all.

You spent half a day trying to convince people from a region that you know more about the place they live and the terms they use than they do, even though you live across an ocean. Then you cry because several people from that region educate you.

I have been very patient with you and explained this to you in great detail without insulting you, often having to repeat myself and explain things to you in simple terms like a child, but you insist on being a culturally and geographically ignorant halfwit.

All the evidence I can find shows that most of the Portuguese use the correct terms (American) most widely. One single news article is not proof to the contrary. Anyone who uses the term “North-American” in your country is a drooling idiot. I don’t want to believe your country is full of drooling idiots. If you want to convince me of that, I won’t argue.

I’m trying to give your country the benefit of the doubt. Every source I can find says that most Portuguese use the correct Americano/Americana terms. If you insist that your country is full of the willfully ignorant, I will not argue it.

So for you, American means only someone from the US

Not for me, for the majority of the world. American has been used to refer to people from the United States of America for nearly 300 years. To be upset about that now is just asinine.

but we can’t mention someone from the US as north-american

You can, but it does not refer to United States citizens only. It refers to everybody in the United States, Mexico, Canada, and technically speaking almost two dozen other countries and states. You need to understand the difference, this is not a difficult concept.

I just said America is a geographic place that you are trying to prove it doesn’t exist

“America” is a short name for The United States of America. It is the only country on the continent with “America” in the name. Which is also why United States Citizens are known across the world as “Americans”. It is distinct to them because it’s part of the name of their country. It is not an actual geographic place.

The United States of America is a country, which is located on the continent called North America. There is no such place as just “America” here. In most English speaking countries, or around the world. The small fraction of foreign countries who have a crude and primitive understanding of North American geography are really not a factor. Imagine if everybody in North America got together and decided the demonym for the Portuguese was “Peepee poo poo people”. Would that make it so for the Portuguese just because a bunch of us on a faraway continent decided it was? Probably not, I’d imagine you’d still consider yourselves Portuguese.

Every country has its ignorants. Though from what I can see, most Portuguese use the term Americano/Americana which is correct.

I don’t believe that most Portuguese would use the term North-American, as that makes no sense. The USA, Mexico, and Canada are all North-American so using that to refer to people from the United States is illogical nonsense. I have faith that the Portuguese people are smart enough on the whole to know that the United States is not the only country in North America. Like I said that would be like saying the demonym for Portuguese specifically is “European”, it would make no sense.

If you insist, you can call them North-Americans, but understand that you are also referring to the people of Mexico and the people of Canada. If you try to assign all of North America to the US, you will only be pissing them off (As you’ve experienced today), and it reflects poorly on you and your country.

The culture of the people who live in a place takes precedence over the culture of people across an ocean lol.

Looks like the most widely used Portuguese demonym is Americano/americana. Which would be “American” which is correct.

There’s also the term “Estadunidense”, which would be “United Statesian” in English, which obviously is not a term used in English at all, but it is accurate nonetheless. If you don’t like the term American and wanted to use this one instead, I don’t think anyone would mind.

North-American would be meaningless as a country’s demonym because there are 3 countries in North America and a number of other non-continental nations and territories. North-American refers to all of them, not a single country like the United States. Mexico, the USA, and Canada are all North American, but they’re not all citizens of the United States. It would be like using the demonym “European” to refer specifically to Portugal.
