@acb @gerikson @cstross esr taking over maintainership and then adding in his own made-up terms and ugly politics really does feel like a harbinger of all this. It also feels similar in the way the institution (Jargon File/Twitter) got taken over and corrupted-in-place.

@Landa @acb @gerikson @cstross Maybe he thinks his Aunt Tillie should fix it?

@m Well, seems like she's still busy with her guru meditation class or putting the wrong certificate onto cats.org, so it's still ISO-8859-1 pretending to be UTF-8 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
