post post post i wanna see ur posts

I'm with HE on this one. KF is absolutely against their ToS, and if the various middle providers between HE and KF aren't going to step in, they're within their rights to drop that traffic.

At this level the Internet is still somewhat decentralized. KF can continue to find other hosts and ISPs that condone their horror, and said providers and peers have the right to drop them for being terrible. They could register their own ASN, broadcast routes, and other providers could still refuse to peer with them. I think this is good, actually.

but what about The Slippery Slope? next conservatives will be making ISPs take down vulnerable minorities! shouldn't legislation be handling this?

The conservative folks are already attacking LGBTQ+ and any other minorities they want via legislation. Why would you think this is a good argument?

oh

oh i never considered that reading of the quote

i read it as more: complaints about a language, particularly the amount of complaints, don't mean it is a Bad Language that should be dropped in favor of something else

in fact the complaints validate that the language is being used by people, and that--the number of people actually using the language to Do Things--is imo a decent proxy metric for the usefulness of the language

so please complain about your languages' shortcomings! i hate so many things about terraform / sh / python / golang / java and will gladly rant at length, and then go right back to using them

except groovy

fuck groovy

whoa whoa whoa

how can we have a flamewar if youre going to be all reasonable like that
