I hear many misconceptions about React. React is very simple, it's conceptually a lot simpler than Vue.js or most other frameworks — it's a brilliant invention that provides just the right pieces that are needed to build complex apps with components and no more. Rare libraries/frameworks approach such simplicity. The fact that there's an ecosystem of unnecessary monstrous "solutions" doesn't make it complex.
"Free speech" doesn't mean that people are required to give you a platform or listen to you. It means that an authoritarian agency won't punish you for speaking.
Your community still may respond to your speech and hold you accountable for any deleterious impacts, such as inciting violence or willful misrepresentation. Freedom within your society means accountability to your society. If no one wants to hear your crap, its not impinging on your rights to send you offstage.
@thurloat A while ago (like two weeks!) you mentioned that Moosetodon was going to focus on UX stuff? I have a feature request for you: a translate function, where I can click on a toot & have Google translate do it's thing. BTW, I'm a full-stack node developer at work & I'd love to contribute. Busy family life will make it hard, tho.

@guinan Stargate is my favourite Scifi franchise. I would definitely give SG-1 a shot. Also, the casting of SG-1 is really good. Better than the movie.
It's a very chronological show and new things are introduced over time, so you should watch it in order. That also means it keeps getting better over time. Let me know if you have any questions.
Came across this in a review on Amazon: "in order to understand JavaScript well, you need to on some level be able to think like a programmer". Not bagging on reviewer - I think he's actually hit on something there. Want to learn a straight-forward, logical language? Pick Basic, Python, or even C/C++. Want a language where you really have to bend your way of thinking? Pick Javascript!
Looking for books to work through with oldest son to learn #Javascript. Mostly looking for exercises, since I can explain stuff.
Why does it seem that the most judgmental people are that same folks that apparently find a basis for their beliefs in a book that says "judge not, lest ye be judged"?

It's weird how so many straight men worry about unwanted advances from gay men when all you straight dudes do is hit on women who don't want you.
Oh, and I should mention... I did this all via SSH from my netbook, sitting at the kitchen table downstairs. I love #linux!
A cash bar on parent-teacher conference nights would be a great fundraiser for schools.
Sitting on the couch, browsing mastodon. 7 yo son playing monopoly with mommy. I just heard him exclaim "I am so doomed." 😂
I always wonder what Europeans think when they visit the US for the first time, visit a grocery store, and see what the cheese selection looks like.
Thinking of trying astronomy out as a hobby but don’t want to shell out big $$$ for a telescope? Try some binoculars. A reasonable pair of binoculars lets you see the 4 large moons of Jupiter, will make out Saturn’s rings and the brighter deep space objects.
