Be patient. It takes time to “get going”.

If you know how to program, you’re in a good spot. If you don’t know how to program, start with fundamentals.

SICP is good. It’s Lisp. You’ll probably never write a line of Lisp professionally, but it will help shape how you reason about solving problems.

Develop some solid fundamentals.

Not only that, but with Dems it’s all morphine.

The cancer is terminal.

Yeap. It’s a sad thing. And it only contributes to more polarization, which is fucking terrible.

We on Lemmy

No shit. Didn’t you get the memo that Lemmy was filled with Reddit transplants over a month ago?

Yep.

Its not like you have to use their instances. What harm will it cause, if anything it’d benefit us.

It won’t benefit us. Big Tech’s goal ultimately is Embrace Extend Extinguish with…everything. That last E, “extinguish”, can be substituted with “own” or “dominate”.

Look at React. They created it. Now, look at VS Code. Made by Microsoft. VSC has telemetry built in.

These are now ubiquitous tools. They’re so ubiquitous that knowing React is practically necessary if you want to do frontend. You may as well use VS Code while you’re at it.

The implications of allowing them to have any influence or participation are huge.

Now tons of businesses rely on Meta’s framework just to survive. They also dictate the terms - how it can be used, whether or not royalties are necessary, license compatibility, who you are allowed to compete against - the sky is the limit.

It all boils down to status quo.

Lol.

Guess it’s my turn

It’s definitely good, but it isn’t full proof. Nothing is.

This. Even Lemmy could technically get fucked over

Yeah, that’s a plausible outlook.

He’ll just cash out and fuck off somewhere. Lol

It goes both ways. Reddit has a lot of retardation associated with it, so there’s a part of me that agrees with this take.

In the end, if the company wants to screw their users over, they obviously can. Whether or not enough of the userbase will jump ship is dependent on how much of them actually care. There are alternatives, and we’re free to use them.

I jumped ship. Can’t complain, lemmy seems pretty chill.
