>Not working with fascists (yes, really) makes me much happier about cloudflare.

This is beyond comical.

>The people who pushed for this have a list of the next sites they are going to get taken down. In particular any place TERFs have discussions.

At this point, expect everything that doesn't agree with their ideology to be taken down or thwarted through their theatrical pressure campaigns on the blue bird app.

You're being downvoted but it's wild how frontend frameworks pop up, take hold, and then quietly disappear with the next iteration of the same thing with different syntactic sugar.

>But in Florida there is a law now saying teachers can’t talk about gay people in school.

If only you weren't misrepresenting the Parental Rights in Education bill[1] you'd have a point. There's no reason why a teacher needs to discuss sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. with kindergartens, be that heterosexual or homosexual. That's a private matter that has no place in a classroom, less so in primary grade levels.

>When your fashionable beliefs fall out of fashion, it will be your problem soon enough. Just don't cry about oppression then.

The righteousness of these individuals make them blind to the fact the pendulum swings back and forth.

>If it's my app, I'll use my logo.

You might own the app's code but if the user paid for the app, they're entitled to not wanting their screen to become some billboard to The Current Thing™. Buy a few billboards and airtime if you feel you should shove your political beliefs and opinions down everyone's throat. With this behavior, you're the representation of everything wrong with corporate political activism and the tech industry at large: You're the app's developer, and for some reason you think you know more than the user.

>nowadays everyone does programming language

By design/specification, Raku[0] is over 20 years old. The Rakudo[1] compiler is a lot younger, with its first stable release back in 2015.

>I don't know that I'd call Raku battle-hardened yet

You're right here, the Rakudo[1] compiler had its first stable release back in 2015 and comparatively speaking, there's a lot of space for growth.

It's simply degradation (if we're talking about early adopters) and growth (if we're talking about the demographics Reddit is now targeting).
