@Sylvhem@eldritch.cafe @inata@types.pl something something racism
@inata there's gotta be a special circle of hell for when you're not even accepting punycode
@inata @technomancy Good lord. A “Unicode is hard and we have other priorities” response would be disappointing, but comprehensible. This is just “you’re bad for not only speaking English”. WTF.
@inata what issue is this????
@inata wow
@inata I'm actually totally OK with that.
ASCII is the present typographic Lingua Franca.
("Lingua Franca" referred to French, the one-time international language, in Latin, the previous international language.)
There can only be one unitary global standard. If you've got a suggestion for an alternative typographic system which is widely known, widely supported, unambiguous, and enables the greatest number of people worldwide be able to avoid malware or other hostile content, feel free to suggest it.
Unknown-text and homoglyph attacks are both concerns.
Oh: and a universal language is highly likely to be associated with a dominant power (or prior one). As with French and Latin previously. You'll find similar patterns in other parts of the world prior to the modern era.
@dredmorbius @inata I think there's a qualitative difference between "we don't have time to support Unicode file names properly, sorry" and "your language is weird" tho
@calcifer @dredmorbius @inata Also as a URL, you get "non-weirdness" for free, the second with % escapes. It may not be nice to look at, but it round-trips correctly, and still correctly stores in obsolete 7-bit ASCII database fields.
@dredmorbius i saw the word french and stopped reading immediately. can you say this again but without using the word french
@inata French is your stopword?
@inata French french french french french french french!!!
@inata death to this shit. "Weird attachment names".
