And a Python developer is born!
Source: I moved on from an abusive relationship with JavaScript to a healthy not-at-all-controlling equal partner relationship with Python. And four spaces makes perfect sense, once I really considered Python’s point of view…
Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It’s the only nerd conference I’ve ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It’s got style and pizzazz.
That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: “You are a nerd.”
Well shit. It’s got me dead to rights on a couple of these.
“And then, one day, there weren’t any more rabbits to eat, so…”
As the old saying goes, “There’s only one winner in an IPO. His name is George. He makes bank on each one. Everyone else leaves the situation worse off, either immediately, or later, unless George tips them off when to sell.”
Yeah. There was so much wasted potential in the DCEU.
But I don’t consider Aquaman wasted potential at all. I’m a fan of the comic, but the source material never tried to be Black Panther, so a movie that did wouldn’t have worked anyway.
Considering “The Aquaman” made it to 2 films, I figure Hasbro will be calling Jason Mamoa to star in a “Seaspray” movie any minute. Maybe have him cameo as Boat-guy-wity-parrot in a GI Joe movie, just for good measure.
My hopes for James Gunns version are pretty high. PeaceMaker is so lovingly made.
I do worry because I haven’t seen James Gunn take on the unironically uplifting side of DC yet, and it needs to be there for the DCU to work.
In the history of Aquaman in the media, on the “wet sidekick for the water episodes of superfriends” scale, you’re describing a solid B+, though.
Yeah. Aquaman is fun. And incredibly derivative.
Critics are still mad they’re being forced to watch “superman, but underwater”. I get that, I feel for them. But I don’t feel for them enough to actually stop giving money to movies like “superman, but underwater”.
"The first rule of muppet club is we don’t talk about muppet-what’s that… Oh. Right.
The first rule of muppet club is we have ice cream on Tuesdays.
The second rule of muppet club is - we don’t talk about muppet club.
The third rule of muppet club is we- really? That’s new. No I’m not mad, I just think it reduces the impact. The third rule is we have sherbert on Thursdays.
What’s the fourth rule? Pasta on Saturday? Really. Okay. But there is another rule about talking about muppet club right?"
These made my day. Thank you!
This is terrific. Thank you for starting this discussion.
I don’t think we can or should wait for individual users to make these decisions. Server admins are the ones who understand the risks and so should make this call. Guidance for server admins based on past experience (cough XMPP!) should be quite welcome.
I might refine the bit about altered API versions to really focus on the real problem: proprietary extensions. We probably want to leave the door open to try out additions to the spec that come with detailed RFCs.
But we know from XMPP that proprietary extensions are a huge problem.
Whatever this is, I need a lot more of it in my life.
Indeed. It is, I daresay, fucking perfect.
As part of the eternal September myself, we didn’t just use AOL disks as coasters, we used them for awesome pranks like filling eachother’s cars to the brim with them. It was truly astonishing how many of those disks were around.
I’m planning the same.
That is true.
Let’s not defederate from every corporate player. Some of them can probably respect reasonable rules of civility.
But fuck Meta. We already know how this plays out.
We know there’s a huge wave of hatred and misinformation incoming. We’ve seen it on their other platforms.
Yeah. I’ll switch to an instance that is defederated from Threads, if mine doesn’t.
I left Meta’s other properties to avoid state sponsored hate speech. I won’t use a platform that gives hate speech a platform.
I don’t need to wait to know if Meta will do that. I already know.
You just know that’s the last thing somebody saw…
