No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a website that can tell you the new names to I guess "classify" people? Like the R word, or the N word or skin color or nationaility? For ex. Is African American still acceptable and so forth
3·20 days agoThe best way of saying it would probably be a black person with a blue hat, which is probably also what most would say. Never heard someone think that black is offensive, unless you are saying a black, which is definitely not acceptable.

Android@lemmy.world•Which Google Maps alternative looks similar to (or can be made to look similar to) Google Maps?English
5·24 days agoCoMaps is definitely what you want. The search isn’t the best, but the map design is better than Google’s design which even at high zoom levels refuses to show many POIs and hides most of everything. CoMaps shows all POI possible without looking cluttered
OsmAnd is more for power users, it is slow and ugly but can do anything. I use it for bike routing with the external BRouter app, and it is far better than all other bike nav, but a bit of a pain.

No it’s an old meme from r/anarchychess lol. you are meant to reply ‘holy hell’. The queens are for promotions.











No, you should definitely sanitize the names if you are going to display them anywhere. You don’t need JS to execute just because it’s in someone’s name, and that would also cause it to display incorrectly as the JS portion would not be shown. Getting rid of excess whitespace is fine aswell as it does not change the name
