I liked the song even when I didn't know it was about van Gogh, and from the few words of English I understood at that time, I thought it was about a handicapped boy called Vincent...
and loved it more than the other McLean song they played on the radio all the time 😀
Language fixes:
Why is a group of squid called a shoal when it should be called a squad?
Jet ski. Dumb name. Obviously it is a Boatercycle.
"Randomized Double Blind Trial" should be "Trick or Treatment".
Bee Hotels - lil wooden structure that solitary bees can nest in from time to time.
That's great - support local wildlife etc. But seriously, who was the marketing genius that decided NOT to call them all "Bee & Bee"s?
Narwhals should be renamed tunacorns.
Hemorrhoids should be assteroids.

People Suggest New Names For Badly Named Things And These 50 Make So Much More Sense
When you sit down for a while and really start thinking about language objectively, you realize that a lot of things don’t really make much sense. There are inconsistencies and irregularities to account for.Ieva Pečiulytė (Bored Panda)

"LIke spam" and (nearly) empty profile
As I said earlier, I very rarely recommend #FediBlock distinct accounts, not for a different view on things (that would be personal) but for malicious behavior, like spammers do.
Here is the account, I recommend considering blocking:emilyii99@diaspora-fr.org
The account itself has only an avatar image and #watch #my #secret #video written as a profile bio. That is very typical for spammers. Also it doesn't post or comment anything.
Here is a screenshot:
EDIT: Looks like her real name is Jessica Albos: tineye.com/search/?url=https%3…
This is typical for "nude avatar spammers", who grab a model's or leaked pictures of an attractive looking woman and then abuse it for attracting clicks to them. The last step doesn't actively happen here, but her watch my secret video should lure horny young men to her profile outside Diaspora.

Have you committed to keeping the app interfaces stable and standardized yet, such that app developers will no longer feel unwelcome by having to chase moving targets as Nextcloud versions change?
Apps like News, Social, and PicoCMS were good ideas, but they've become abandonware because you didn't follow best development practices, and you broke them. The Nextcloud app ecosystem is poorer without these apps, and cluttered with these abandonware carcasses, scaring devs away.

the number of justices is a congressional, presidential choice.
FDR wanted fourteen, because the scotus was so old.

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •I’m with “ignore the court”, but that’s mainly because of my own contempt for and lack of faith in legal institutions and their tendency to become bottomless sinks of moral depravity.
I follow the law not because “it’s a good idea” (it’s usually not) or because it encourages a sense moral obligation (it doesn’t), but because I live in constant fear of what cruel, inhumane, and taxpayer-funded punishments await me if I don’t.
