Chewy listening. :D
The mention of Fantasies of Manners and the Oscar Wilde plays, reminded me of Moliere's "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme"

It's a nice example of the In-Group aiming barbs at the Out-Group.
Micro-aggressions were used normally by the nobility, but were always aimed at people of lower social status.
Just another tool of control.

This is EE, we've yet to see Extinguish yet. This is kinda how APIs grow, see also: browser APIs.
Someone implements a new api, makes it usable. Other users can also implement or tweak, and later down the line it is standardised by a committee (or by defacto).
Extinguish is only really possible if you can add an API that your competitors cannot implement, either due to technical reasons or licencing. ActiveX was what did it for Browsers.
The fact that this API has been implemented means that Extinguish has not happened.

I decided to follow-up my earlier "pictures worth entire PhD theses" with a new set about women, reproductive rights & the GOP🧵1/6

I guess what #America 🇺🇸 needs is a government by the billionaires, for the billionaires. 🙄

But seriously, they leave out the details on which regulations they will cut.
My opinion: this is a bad idea & will turn the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 into a theocratic plutocracy (as the #Project2025 crew will definitely have a say!).
Open source is the libertarianism [derogatory] of the software world. It's the adolescent, knee-jerk "don't tell me what to do" of licensing.
And just like libertarianism, it's completely co-opted by big money interests using the sentiment to entrench their own interests over the needs of real human beings.
Copyleft on the other hand is punk as fuck. Copyleft is anarchist praxis for software. Copyleft builds community. Copyleft ensures code belongs to actual human beings in perpetuity, even as it grows and evolves.
Fuck open source. Use copyleft licenses.
