I guess they mean unilever? That is the company that owns that brand at least, iirc.

Not sure, but I think emacs at least used to have a reputation as a resourse hog and bloated. So maybe that?

For me it is a frustration over that liberals would rather endanger the liberal democracy by working with the far right than collaborating with anything considered left. It is very obvious in Sweden. The swedish far right has declared that the liberal democratic project is a threat to their nationalist vision – it’s not just me as a leftist saying this, but liberals, as in the Liberal party, said this about them. Then came the last election, the Liberals sided with the far right. Its down to two liberal MPs and they could force a switch from the far right to just center lib politics. But no. They rather want prisons for children than work with a socdem and maybe suffer to have a cap on profits on charter schools.

Swedish liberals do

On Monday, Renew Europe chairman Stéphane Séjourné took distance from the decision of the Swedish Liberals to sign a government agreement that favours the far-right.

“I acknowledge that the Swedish Liberals blocked the far right from entering the government,” he told Politico, adding that he regrets “the agreement and the direction it is taking. “A government with the far right cannot have our blessing”, he said.

Sources within Renew Europe confirmed to EURACTIV that Séjourné personally regretted the decision of the Swedish Liberals on account of the “common values” shared by the Renew Europe members.

It should be noted that “blocked the far right” means “gave far right influence over the government with no accountability instead of collaborating with social democrates”.

Renew later also let the Swedish Liberals stay in their group, so they to some degree agree with the strategy of giving the far right influence over the government as long as it means you never have to work with a socdem.

Is this a diagram for how it should work? Not how it actually works? Like I put my stuff in the ~/.bashrc, mostly because I think the debian one says like “put your fun stuff below here” or something. The green and grey lines go through the ~/.bashrc, but both of them go through the “no login” bubble in the diagram. But I know my ~/.bashrc works, so the diagram is a suggestion?

That’s fair. Still seems to be quite a large reluctance to do anything about it, so it seems to “belong” through negligence though.

I heard it from another source, and then the story was that he called it tadpole, and the editor complained that it sounds too silly. So then he said “well, then I’m going to call it a spermion”, and the editor shuts up after that.

While on the subject on Feynman diagrams and names… You know the Tadpole?

In 1985 Coleman stated (perhaps as a joke) that Physical Review’s editors rejected the originally proposed name “spermion”.
