As a python developer and user of websites, please no. The web is already a slow mess and my laptop is already spinning up fans on some websites that really shouldn’t do anything much more complicated than load text and images from a database and display them. CPython would make it exponentially worse. At least pick a sensible performance focused implementation.
Literally who gives a shit about Twitter at this point.
Sure, by all means, as I said, in that case I’ll just continue downvoting and not being sad when mods take action to keep the discussion on topic.
Sucks for them. When I want to read about it I open a newspaper.
I do agree, filtering would be a better solution for sure.
I don’t have any problems and I don’t want to read about others’ problems constantly while browsing a fucking tech news aggregator.
That’s all too bad and obviously I’d rather everyone was well behaved and happy. But I’m sorry to say I still don’t care enough to want to constantly read about this stuff in spaces that are supposed to be about technology (in the case of technical mailing lists and Github issues, literally exclusively) instead of people.
I don’t know what your exact issue with Hackernews is, I rarely visit it.
To clarify, I am alleging that a lot of this “censorship” is just mods deleting posts which have been sufficiently downvoted by people like me who are not particularly interested in the alleged sexual crimes or social justice plights of people, especially when we actually want to read about tech. Give me a way to filter this out a priori or use dedicated channels to discuss it and I won’t have to downvote it.
To use your analogy, write your warnings to stderr which I can easily redirect to /dev/null while still consuming the program output, and we’re golden.
Of course, it’s forbidden, that’s definitely a more parsimonious explanation than people simply not being interested in reading rape allegations on a tech news aggregator, a technical mailing list or a Github issues page, of all places.
edit: or the Lemmy programming community.
inb4 zoomers unironically want this
Other people’s computers. Never forget.
extraordinary claims, extraordinary evidence, yadda yadda
Man, the ability to individually block any and all traffic from whole lemmy instances can’t come soon enough. The fewer authoritarian regime apologists oozing out of the cesspool of lemmygrad I have to yet manually block the better.
I’ll start watching sports when there’s coked up cyborgs competing for who can stave off graft rejection for long enough to cross the finish line, thank you very much
/s but not really
From a purely logical standpoint, given the number of strippers and porn stars out there, that statement must be true. It’s not quite something I can wrap my head around though.
