Scientists introduced a butterfly to an island.
They are happy to report the butterfly brought with it chestbursting endoparasitic wasps.
They're also happy to report those wasps contain another smaller parasitic wasp.
Their even happier to report those larger wasps also contain a Wolbachia bacterium that appear to be bros with the smaller wasps and help them get in.

But I don't care about your app.

I will teach the use of free and open source software in #art and #Design to students of Bauhaus-Universität Weimar next semester.
I have some ideas about it, and one of them is, sharing my ideas about teaching free software here in the Fediverse, in hope and appreciation for your feedback and thoughts… =)

@isagalaev it's bad if it's confusing! when you say "asian food" you're talking about China and Japan but when other people say it they include Malay and Thai, and when other people say it they just mean "food that has spices in it" so no one actually communicates what they intend. it's better if you say what you actually mean.
Mastodon Feedisagalaev ("Ivan Sagalaev") wrote:
@technomancy but why is it "bad"? It's simply how people are used to talk, there's no pejorative/negative connotations to any of it. Details will always get lost in how people adopt terms across cultures.
The point of the term "asian food" is to distinguish flavors brought by immigrants from China and Japan into Western diet from those adopted from French and Italian cooking (I'm simplifying). The term makes sense and serves a purpose.

@isagalaev actually I do think that using "American" to mean "from the USA, excluding every other country on the hemisphere" is almost as bad.
(and Lao food has next to nothing in common with Korean food or Indian food)
Mastodon Feedisagalaev ("Ivan Sagalaev") wrote:
@technomancy but it's just a shorthand name for a particular set of techniques and flavors that makes sense to western people. Nobody thinks about, say, Central Asian cuisine, when talking about "asian food". Same as when people talk about "American music", nobody thinks about South America. I don't think it's a problem. Natural languages don't have to adhere to precise taxonomies.
