Sure, but at that point we could rename it anything.

It’s only Eurocentric in the Western tradition, and even then the names of many stars come from Arabic.
I mean, yeah, many celestial bodies take their names from Latin. Like how the proper name of the sun is Sol, which matches solar, the lunar object would be called Luna. Selene feels like a retronym to match other Greek deities, and would be like renaming Earth to Gaia
either of those options is a fair pick given their oldness
Luna would definitely rank over Selene in the Western astronomical tradition. As you say, its name is just The Moon, which is what Luna means in many current day Latin derived languages
I thought it was Luna?
A Dyson Wall… and Proxima Centauri will pay for it!
CRISPR take me away!
They are perpetuating them after having created them.
You are victim blaming, men born this millennium have had zero part in creating them.
Or I can be reasonably scornful at jackasses
Wouldn’t spinning in the opposite direction indicate that it’s axial tilt is flipped or something?
It’s simply burning calories.
your OS can have whatever you want with however much bloat you want
No, it can’t, because you can’t remove the bloat, dummy, that’s the entire point of the problem. People wouldn’t care if they could just remove the bullshit.
Yeah that sounds fishy, a default KDE installation of Fedora would at least be under a gig for me
Cause we can strip features all day long until we get there.
Good? Okay? We need more minimalism
Perpetual software bloat should not be encouraged; idling at 2GB is fucking insane
not some deluded hippy that thinks we can just get rid of cars and all our traffic problems will magically go away like all your problems after a few hits from a bong.
Hmm for some reason I don’t believe you’ve actually considered opposing views
Sometimes they will just make up stuff you supposedly believe and go ballistic on that
At that point, you just call strawman and leave; no point in engaging with someone arguing with themself
If part of the tuition is supposed to cover job placement, it is their responsibility to not teach more than they can employ.
We need a Kickstarter but for bugs/feature requests.
You can be mad at the government’s inaction and the consumers which support the market at the same time.
Thank you for completely disregarding the emotions of half the planet, very cool and very humanizing
