All tortoises are turtles (but not all turtles are tortoises) from a biology point of view. Tortoises specifically being exclusively land-based members of the turtle (Testudines) order. So there is a difference.

And “spring” doesn’t really have different meanings - as per the root of the word, it always means some variant of “to burst forth”. There’s lots of different definitions for the word but they’re all rooted in the same place, from an etymology point of view.

The season bursting forth from the winter darkness and cold, the metal coil as it bursts forth when released from compression, the source of water as it bursts forth from the ground, bursting forth someone out of jail, etc.

Homographs are the real problem - when two different words, over time, become spelled the same.

Sow, lead, close, bear. All have multiple etymologies where different words eventually became spelled the same. Those are the worst!

English is a truly crazy mashup of Latin, Greek, French, German, Celtic, Norse and more.

Oooooh. Drama.

Huh?!

not gonna crop out that username? isn’t that an ad for Betty Bowers?

You’re literally the one calling names adverts, were the first to bring it up, and the other person didn’t say anything on the topic except in response to you.

Are you confusing OP with someone else?

You had McDonalds? That was just a farm in my day. Eee-eye-eee-eye-oh!

They’re raising it because of RAM needs of browsers and GNOME.

If you’re a shell nerd like me, you’ll still be fine running it on a potato.

I did. That’s the bit that’s wrong. You don’t own a copy. Read the terms and conditions. I handily copied and pasted the relevant parts.

The fact you have a copy does not mean you own it. Ownership would mean you could transfer that property. You cannot transfer it (legally).

You own nothing on GOG. It’s a license like everywhere else plus the benefit of having access to DRM-free binaries. Your license permits you to download and use those binaries personally. But you do not own them.

That benefit of the rights to download and use those DRM-free binaries, however, is not to be sniffed at. It’s a fantastic benefit!

But you don’t own them.

This isn’t quite right. You do not own the game, you are purchasing a non-transferable license, bound to you:

2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a ‘license’) to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use.

3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else.

It’s simply a boon that they entitle you to download DRM-free binaries but technically, if that license is revoked by GOG, you are not legally entitled to use or store that binary anymore. Practically, however, is a different story.

This isn’t the Arch logo file as it’s been redrawn to make it 3D. Blackarch have always used the original design but red and with a sword.

My guess these are fan made stickers given out / sold at conferences. They could be fan stickers for Blackarch but they also could just be red Arch stickers for the fun of it.

Redbubble is full of the stuff. It’s pretty typical to see playful project logo stickers all over conferences that people have ordered online. My buddy buys a load of these off Redbubble to stick on laptops people leave around at cybersecurity conferences:
