According to people from GrapheneOS these are two different things:

To be clear, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.devicelock is not what's included in GrapheneOS. There seems to be some confusion about that. This is the app that does what's being described.

What you see in GrapheneOS is https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/modules/DeviceLock/+/b1a971a6e29f5b426b13d96d7692e9dd5a7e81e2/DeviceLockController/

ChatGPT:

The term "Spartan" itself is not inherently a slur. It originates from the city-state of Sparta in ancient Greece, known for its military prowess and austere lifestyle. However, the reason it might be flagged or considered sensitive in certain contexts is not because it is a slur, but because of how it's used or perceived in modern language.

In contemporary usage, "Spartan" can sometimes be used to describe an environment or lifestyle that is extremely bare, lacking in comfort, or harshly disciplined. This usage, derived from historical references to Sparta, is generally not offensive. However, the potential for misunderstanding or misuse arises when the term is applied to people or situations in a way that could be perceived as derogatory or overly critical, suggesting that someone is harsh, lacks empathy, or lives in a way that is unnecessarily austere.

The misunderstanding around "Spartan" as a potential slur is less about the word itself and more about the nuances of its application. It's an example of how historical or cultural terms can be sensitive based on context, rather than the words being slurs in the traditional sense. In the context of slur detection, it's important to differentiate between genuinely offensive language and terms like "Spartan," which may only require careful use or additional context to avoid misunderstanding.

Lmao I asked chatgpt what some common falsely flagged words are and it literally used Scunthorpe as an example:

Certainly, here are some examples to illustrate how non-offensive words might be falsely flagged as slurs, highlighting the importance of context and nuanced understanding in slur detection systems:

  1. Ethnic Names/Terms:

    • "Niger" (the name of a country) might be flagged due to its similarity to a racial slur.
    • "Shiite" (a sect of Islam) could be mistaken for a derogatory term due to phonetic similarity.
  2. Geographical Locations:

    • "Essex" (a county in England) might be flagged due to its ending, which could be misinterpreted as a sexist term.
    • "Scunthorpe" (a town in England) contains a substring that is a common vulgar term, leading to potential misflagging.
  3. Historical Terms:

    • "Spartan" (relating to Sparta in ancient Greece) could be misinterpreted if the system is not aware of historical contexts.
    • "Crusader" (referring to participants in the Crusades) might be flagged due to its aggressive historical connotations, despite being a legitimate term in many contexts.
  4. Animal Names:

    • "Tit" (a type of bird) might be flagged due to its double meaning, one of which is vulgar.
    • "Cock" (a male chicken) could be flagged for similar reasons.
  5. Technical Terms:

    • "Homo" (as in Homo sapiens, the scientific name for humans) could be flagged due to its use as a derogatory term for homosexual individuals.
    • "Uranus" (the seventh planet from the Sun) might be flagged due to its phonetic similarity to an anatomical term.

These examples underscore the complexity of language and the need for sophisticated, context-aware algorithms in slur detection systems to minimize false positives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre

Meter is seemingly the american spelling, it's also spelled meter in many european countries e.g. germany, netherlands

 

Just like everyone else

You didn't specify the calendar used 🤓, so I'll go to the year 1401 in the hijri calendar (1980 in the gregorian calendar)
