> It is absolutely not a demand that we trample the rights of people whose ideas we don't like.

Good, because that's not what I'm advocating. I'm not advocating an act of destroying Wikileaks, I'm advocating for it getting destroyed by omitting active support to it.

Irssi's UX is better than that of any other chat software, though. Why it hasn't been replicated for things like XMPP and Matrix is probably due to the more difficult and featureful state transitions of those protocols.

I hope they use Mastodon. Because then it'll be trivial for authorities to find out and seize the offending server and probably most of the users if it's part of the global federation.

>Thinking in OOP terms in, say, Java is great.

How did you interpret this statement?

Heh. I'm sure they thought and worked on others things too, but many focused on it, yes.

Sorry for misunderstanding the mood and context. In context of Zig, this makes a lot of sense, making my calls for humility premature and tad ironic.

Well, you've met one now, so you can update that assumption. And also if you look higher up this thread, the author of this article takes it seriously as well. So that's two already in a pretty short time!

> If you had that reaction, you might want to take some time to explicitly free your thought process from OOP-isms.

If you have this reaction, perhaps you should take a humility lesson before claiming that a few syntax tricks is all it takes to outsmart people who spent their entire university careers thinking about these problems.

That's a bit silly. I was a Linux user from 1996 to 2015ish, then went to use macbooks almost exclusively. Apple's UI immediately made sense, even if it was remains tad unoptimal for serious use, when comparing to UX masterpieces like i3 and sway.

KDE has always been bit of an awkward horror, and I've given it a shot now and then for their whole existence. The latest incarnation, Plasma, is quite a lot better than it used to be, granted.

Yeah, I was just thinking few days ago how absurdly large Twitter's workforce seemed to be.

How is following someone on another server with Mastodon difficult? Or is that some sort of a meme now?

With this level of cluelessness, we have to be extra thankful that he cannot become president of USA.
