I hate #unicode - #equal #strings can not be #equal unless you #normalize the #string https://lemire.me/blog/2022/04/05/string.. And that's if that function works correctly... What a pain in the arse.
#aardvark raises a great point about #pandering to *some* of the #maori people who believe that the entire of #nz should be on their hands and knees just for them: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/1020.s.. As he correctly says, #equal #opportunity is available to *all* people - to the point where the #nz #government is almost *too* #proactive in trying to get people the #covid #vaccine ! Madness.
