Serious question: do all programming languages get made fun of? Or is it only certain ones?

I'm realizing JavaScript, PHP, and CSS are pretty commonly the butt of programming humor. But to the best of my knowledge, I have literally never seen a joke or meme about Python, Ruby, Rust, Go, barely even Java.

Is this because I don't operate in those circles? Do I just see the languages I'm close to?

Or is it just fashionable to make fun of certain languages and not others?

Wow so apparently the CEO of Tumblr/Automattic is transphobic.

Definitely won't be using wordpress.com for my blog now that this has come to my attention. Enjoy living in the middle ages Automattic. It's 2024 now. I'm going to be deleting my WordPress account.

I included a link below of someone explaining the situation better than I can because I'm so pissed right now.

The press coverage of the situation has been *atrocious*. Apple's out here trying to shiv the best chance for an alternative to the App Store, breaking civic and public sector tech along the way, and the press is doing Cupertino press release stenography.

Folks who publish on websites are whistling past the open plot as Apple plans of the demise of the web's potential.

What Apple is going to do to PWAs in less than two weeks in the EU is dastardly.

Their goal is to remove the only versions of Push, Fullscreen, Homescreen Icons, and Badging that didn't require paying them to be in the App Store *and make sure no other browser can have them either*.

They tried to sneak it under the noise of the alt-store drama, in a clearly premeditated fashion.

It's no exaggeration to say they've gone to war with the web & we don't owe the benefit of the doubt ever again.

"My drawing represents the land that binds us and unites us."

"Humans are woven together. If someone gives up, others fall. We are all connected to our planet and to each other, but unfortunately we are little aware of it. We are woven together. Other people weave alongside me my own story; and I weave theirs," said the young designer.

I've mused before on the idea of different modes of social media use. There's the broadcast mode, one person trying to reach as large an audience as possible. Then there's the small group discussion model. Mixing the two or confusing one for the other is a cause of problems.

It occurs to me, layered on top of those are at least two minor modes. There's improv (yes and) and there's debate club (fight me). This seems to be a similar source of problems and confusion. 🤔

This instance handles, on average, 6.5 reports of antisemitism a day.

Why is that significant? It's significant because Babka already suspends individual accounts, and Limits entire instances.

Despite this, we deal with ~6.5 new antisemitic accounts *per day*.

And yet, if we look at the graphs from Fediverse Observer, the number of active users on the Fediverse has gone down!

So what exactly does that mean, if the number of antisemitic accounts continues to grow and the number of active users continues to shrink?

It means that the number of antisemites on the Fediverse is quite large, and what we're seeing isn't new antisemites as much as it is antisemitism being so normalized that people feel comfortable spouting hate, and that despite blocking or silencing thousands of accounts, hate continues to be emboldened.
