  1. As someone who has always hated Python I applaud their decision to drop Python2, and I would applaud them even harder if they dropped Python3 and never even considered a Python4 even if one ever exists. As far as mailing lists, it doesn't matter as long as the information is still gleanable with a screen reader and can be viewed in dark mode.

  2.  @theroboman727  What makes me hate it is that it sucks as a language. It has an awful lot of ideological design elements. I would argue that what Python is used for isn't even what it's good at since most of what it's used for requires libraries of code written in other languages to make it run at a speed that allows a program to finish running before the heat death of the universe. If we really want a language easy enough for today's modern scientists, we should adapt some variant of BASIC and just port the libraries that Pythonistas use to that language. I'm not saying BASIC is a good language either, but it's not saddled with ideological constraints that no programming language should be saddled with and would be even easier for people to understand. Although, in an ideal world our scientists would be intelligent enough to use C.

  3.  @AlucardNoir  I disagree. I think we need more of what IRC provides, a decentralized communication system. We just need to change it to obscure IP's.

  4.  @BrodieRobertson  Maybe I'm weird, but while I strive to be as grammatically accurate as I can, and I notice nearly every single time when someone isn't, I still don't care. I recognize that not everyone has the time to double check things.

  5.  @TeamPuzel  How does KDE run for you on that laptop?

  6. Elinks merged with SpiderMonkey? I've been pondering an attempt at that for years.

  7.  @costascostas1760  People commenting to correct his spelling error counts as engagement to the algorithm, and they provide these comments freely, thus free engagement. And now I'm helping him and you by explaining it. Weird, huh?

  8.  @AlucardNoir  If all the developers force their users in a given direction and there is no alternative, which will get used more? There is a reason why TUI's are popping up all over and have become very popular lately.

  9.  @AlucardNoir  The same could be said for you and you'd never know the difference. What makes your experience any more valid.

  10.  @Artoooooor  Snail mail is bloat, use butterflies in China.
