Off-topic and may be found rude - I find multiple instances of "Kahn" in the comments. Is it really that difficult to put in the effort to learn the correct spelling of "Khan" specially when it is everywhere in TFA, the post title, and other comments?
I think it's because these "h"es are silent in (most?) dialects of English, so both spellings would result in the same pronunciation. English doesn't really have a 'kh" /x/ sound, or an unaspirated k, or an "ahn", or a "dh" sound. So Kahn and Khan both get read as /kan/, Gandhi and Ghandi both get read as /gandi/. If anything the "h" just seems to hint that the vowel isn't pronounced /æ/. So folks remember that there is a silent h but not where it is.
Of course many Indian languages have aspirated and unaspirated "d" sounds, for example, and this is also reflected in the English dialet. But most of us English speakers can't hear the difference very well even if we concentrate.
Idk I just don't like the richest man on planet and the owner of the "town square of the internet" to post fake news blatantly to promote hate against a group of people.
It's an open source software but I think we have to start restricting the definition of FOSS to remove software that have a requirement for continuous to sign a CLA and the organization is VC funded.
This is something that I noticed after doing a Google search on a new machine without uBlock Origin installed. I was unable to identify that the first link was an advertisement to a competitor's product of the brand I looked up. I remember adverts used to be highlighted really well in Google searches earlier.
If I am unable to differentiate between an ad and a search result then neither can a lot of non technical users including my parents.
