With a title using 13375P34K, that’s probably for the best.

Sure, whatever.

That’s a lovely cake honey, but I’m not sure how the ‘Fuck All Corpo Swine’ theme is going to be received by my boss. Gotta admire how you used the neck-tie as a noose though. Very creative.

I doubt that’ll make much difference at this point. It’s the academic distinction between “shooting the tourism industry in the head” and “shooting the tourism industry in the head, twice”. It’s dead either way.

There’s plenty of reasons a person might want to filter out NSFW content - the most obvious being that they’re at work or browsing in some other context where having NSFW content displayed might be inappropriate - in public visiting a cafe or a library for instance. Some people might simply not be using Lemmy for that reason and so desire to have it filtered out so it doesn’t get in the way of the content they are interested in.

Yeah, that’s great Mozilla. Have fun with that. You just make sure that shit can be compiled out so I can use a forked project that’s had all the stupid sanitized out of it.

That kind of brilliant decision is why they’re paid so well. /s

“Also, everyone who opposes that are clearly terrorists.”

Thank you for compelling me to act in my own best long-term interest.

We need to make a distinction between real AI (GAI) and what is commonly termed “AI”, e.g. machine learning and LLMs. Obviously I’m talking about what we actually have, not making some sort of imaginary bioconservative bigoted statement against digital persons that don’t exist.

I don’t.

Fucking AI lunacy.

Yes, yes. Won’t somebody please think of the children etc. ad nauseam.

It’s no wonder Trump’s discombobulated by a free press doing their job. He’s literally never encountered that before.

That’s fair. She can clearly do better, and who knows what a man like that might do next? He certainly doesn’t.

Yes, because Russia - who’ve rejected every single American proposal so far - are clearly yuge fans.

Take your gaslighting and piss off, Donald.

Talk about being on the wrong side of history. You’re not scraping the bottom of the barrel, America. You reached that and then started drilling to see how low you could go.

Please do us all a favor and unfuck yourselves.

I agree that Python’s handling of 3rd-party dependencies is cumbersome, especially for scenarios that would have otherwise been trivial. However… The use-cases I’m referring to in my context have no need for anything outside the standard library. I’m literally talking about using Python as a shell script alternative, more or less.

…Which is admittedly the lowest of bars. It’s hard to be less ergonomic or more arcane than Shell script - unless one resorts to the Dark Arts of Perl or APL.

This is the first time I’ve heard of Deno, but I’m not sure that having to install a 110Mb JS VM + runtime is more convenient in my context than simply using Python which is already guaranteed to available on any system I use and does all I need. Is Typescript a better language than Python? Perhaps. Does that matter for my use-cases? No, not really. I definitely wouldn’t use Rust - or any other compiled language - for scripting. While I haven’t had time to look at Zig as much as I’d like, I do adore the language so far - I can definitely see myself transitioning from C++ to Zig, and likely will to the extent I’m able. Still don’t see it as a Python replacement though (again, for my use-cases - I’m emphatically not arguing that there isn’t plenty of projects implemented in Python that could have benefited from being written in Zig or Rust instead).

If you have any other suggestions for viable alternatives, I’m open to suggestions though.

Huh. The thing is, I do block 3rd party scripts and frames by default (umatrix).

Eh. Almost every tool has its place. I use Python for all my automation needs, a niche in which it serves perfectly well. Surely you wouldn’t argue that Rust or C++ would be a more appropriate alternative in that kind of role because they’re statically typed. Then there’s other things - I enjoy having Jupyter Notebook on hand for rapid prototyping, sanity checks or quick testing of ideas, plotting etc. It certainly beats using Octave, at least in terms of ergonomics. Most of my recent C++ projects uses Python generated Ninja scripts as the build system, and so on. It is possible there’s something out there that would serve those needs of mine better than Python? Sure, but if so, I don’t think I know what it is.
