Not op, but Voyager is second to none imo

AMAZING. Bless you

cmatrix too!

He did it to sexually stunt America in the name of Christianity and his warped morality. I would say that if a religion mandates you do something barbaric, then that practice should still be outlawed. I believe in a secular state where the rules of society and the greater good take precedence over myopic religious practices.

Similarly how the right to free speech does to let you go around making threats etc., the freedom of religion must not allow for crimes – which I consider infant genital mutilation to be.

Are you aware the majority of Americans are not jewish but were subjected to genital mutilation after birth? It is not a religious thing here primarily, it’s a practice that was started by a prude named Kellog to explicitly make it more difficult to masturbate and because it is “cleaner,” which is a dubious claim at best.

America has Zelle which does instant money transfers by email/phone. It’s private but it works in my banking app, is totally free, and is instant

I get what you’re saying. Are you saying also that you haven’t ever encountered anyone using the term as a pejorative? My original reply is earnestly asking what was meant because the original post was ambiguous to me. I’m talking about connotation and you’re talking about the textbook definition. I know what a scripting language is, and it’s pretty dismissive to say otherwise imo. To call JS and Python scripting languages puts them up there with bash, lua, and perl. Interpreted or not, do you think these languages are equal? Can a developer as easily create a fully featured app or website equally with all of them? Can you land a perl job as easily as a JS one? I don’t think so. It’s not a matter of bruised ego so much as I want to combat the notion, especially for newer developers, that JS and Python and friends are somehow less-than, whether or not that was the original intent of the post.

I’m merely saying that to me, and to probably a large group of devs, it sounds like a dig. I totally take that it is an appropriate designation and there was no ill intent though. I think the fact that we’re having this conversation is enough to prove that there is at least a little ambiguity given the right context and experience with the term. Cheers

I’m certainly replying from my own perspective! Again, I don’t think the original reply was intended to be negative. I am just discussing the language used and what it implies to me and perhaps others from a similar background and time. I think, to me, a clearer and more modern way to describe these languages is as “interpreted” or other words describing the nature of the languages rather than saying it is a language for scripting, which carries a connotation (at least to me, in my corner of the internet)

If someone on the internet calls something a “scripting language,” it’s hard to take that in a vacuum. I’ll accept that there is overlap between “interpreted” and “scripting” languages, but they aren’t synonymous, particularly in my experience interacting with developers online. The typical discourse does indeed trivialize the so-called scripting languages, and my only intent is to say that they are a lot more than what they began as.

It was for you, too (っ^_)っ

What is the “classical” sense? What are you implying when you say they are “scripting” languages? What you are imparting to me is that they are less-than other, real languages. I don’t take personal offense, but I do take issue with the mischaracterization and implication that those languages are somehow less serious or less broadly useful.

No hard feelins! (:

Are you referring to Python and JS as scripting languages? The two most popular languages on the planet? Ones which are capable of building almost any kind of app imaginable? Surely you don’t apply your limited experience with a single dev to a group of millions of developers doing extremely varied things, right?

Don’t feel that way. This is a highly specific role with a ton of not-necessarily-connected tech. Python, C++, Rust and calling out Java? Strange. You don’t need to know any of this stuff to be successful. If you just know javascript, that’s enough for many, many roles.

Youll find that if you understand the patterns you’re using in JS, you can apply them to many other languages. Other languages will have different syntaxes and maybe slightly different patterns, but you can always apply what you know, which will make it easier to add more languages to your arsenal.

You’ll feel like you have no idea what you’re doing for a long time, but all the while you have picked up a ton of knowledge and experience that you will still probably discount. Just be eager to learn and don’t sell yourself too short.

Should be is not None (:

Instances could probably find ways to be ad supported or creators could do 3p sponsorships or ads in videos. Not everyone has to chip in to everything they subscribe to. It’s still impossibly hard compared to youtube though.

e: what about opt-in ads (banner or otherwise) for channels you want to support? could be cool

Good point. Lemmy.ml admins said CSAM was the reason so just passing that along.

Yep. Explicitly because of CSAM

I absolutely cannot wait for Asahi linux. M1 hardware with linux 🤤

What about those crusade things I’ve heard so much about
