And by all day I mean until 2pm when they leave early for their tennis match or whatever the fuck they do.

From what I can gather
- JS is system agnostic, doesn't require compilation or multiple dependency binaries, as opposed to say Python.
- JS is widely understood, could get more contributors.
- JS is a good enough scripting language made with UI stuff in mind.
I also see people lamenting that lua wasn't chosen, so there's that.
İf it works good enough for my laptop phone and pc then it's good enough for everyone else
Besides, it wouldn't have made much of a massive difference if it was lua or js, but even lua has it's issues leading to people preferring other versions of lua
JS is system agnostic, doesn’t require compilation or multiple dependency binaries, as opposed to say Python.
Can you expand on that? How does JS have less requirements than Python?
While it's true that both python and js are interpreted languages, making them highly portable, JS at that time was a very lightweight language with a robust runtime offered by mozjs, that was built to be easy to embed into other systems, while python was designed for being the framework in which you build apps directly, hence requiring deeper dependencies.

What do you think about having a custom URI scheme for the fediverse?
Since we are in the fediverse, I think it would be convenient to have a fediverse-wide resolvable fediverse URI scheme, that would look like so:
fediverse://
edit: Found a relevant FEP: codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…
like this
[fediverse hyperlink](fediverse://example.com/post/1337) Markdown syntax, or even start blocking it (they can already block known Fediverse domains but there would be backlash if they did).
What we know about the [historical WW2] gun used in UnitedHealth CEO assassination
There was a plan in 1943 to drop Welrods into German-occupied territories for the mass assassination of Schutzstaffel (SS) and Gestapo officers and soldiers within a one-month period by resistance units. This plan was possibly delayed or called off in the aftermath of Operation Anthropoid, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by Czech resistance forces.[1] In the wake of his assassination, an estimated 13,000 civilians were arrested and interrogated, 5,000 civilians murdered in German reprisal killings and the villages of Lidice and Ležáky destroyed.

Commentary from someone quite trusted in the historical gun community and who's actually shot multiple Welrods/VP9s:
It's not a VP9. Even at the very start of the video, on the first shot before the shooter even manually cycles the gun, gas is ejected backwards out of the action rather than forward out of the suppressor.

ACTUALLY DITCHING my apple account was the hardest thing ever -- because they made it ridiculous. I don't have an iphone, imac, ipad or ibook. The process of leaving appleTV was so unbelievably onerous that I'm never coming back.
I hope Severance can come to a regular network some day.

How many were exploited for that CEO's profit? How many more have to be?
He caused real, material harm to millions of people. His victims shed no tears for him and understandably feel vindicated.
Imagine you give your hard earned money to an insurance company every month of your life, and they promise to have your back should you need medical care, but the one time you need them to do the one thing you've been paying them for and they've been promising you, they decide to just not do that and tell you to go fuck yourself, you'll probably harbour some hatred toward their leadership.
A medical insurance company behaving like this is on a whole other level of scummy than most types of corporate price gouging out there. This isn't just charging too much money for a subpar product, it left millions of people with worse than nothing in times where they were the most vulrnable. If they had no insurance plan and just put the monthly payments in a box as an emergency fund, they would at least have had that money to pay for the medical procedures they needed. Instead this company took that money and gave them a middle finger when they desperately needed it back. Its sole function for millions of people was to be a parasite that stole their savings with the empty promise of helping them should they fall ill. This backstabing vile scum preyed on the human desire for a safety net and refused to give them that safety net when the time came. Then it proceeded to gaslight them, telling them that they didn't need what they were begging for. It sent sick and dying people on a wild goose chase of appeals to ultimately deny them all the same.
That's the reason for the collective hate.
