Why?

I miss Ruby DSLs so much. Python is bland. It’s on purpose, I know and even appreciate it.

Yet I feel like Ruby syntax magic compared to Python blandness is like comparing a steaming plate of beautiful aromatic curry to plain rice.

JFYI, w is a vowel in Welsh.

And yet here we are, at Lemmy, where things are slightly less corporate.

Intel 486sx at whooping 33MHz, 4Mb RAM, 650 Mb HDD. Was some Red Hat flavor and took a couple of minutes to launch Netscape Navigator.

I never had seen a French person frowning at the worst possible attempt at French.

Your French could sound like a seal having a stroke while tripping on acid, like a 1920 Ford T coughing on sugar reach diesel, like a dyslexic Albanian speaking Icelandic - and still the result will be at least an attempt at understanding and communication.

Compare that to Germany, where one mispronounced syllable in a conversation with a native aboriginal make the same effect as if you were telling them a double 4-disk Enigma encrypted message.

I mean, my comment isn’t really meaningful either so, touche, Internet stranger.

There’s babashka, why?

Oh sorry, misread exactly this part. I’ve had great experience with ejabberd, maybe worth trying it.

Which flavor of XMPP you tried?

I am honestly put off by people who really go by Marxist-Leninist schtick. This whole thing reminds of the old anecdote about a dialogue between a jew and God about the Holocaust: “I guess you had to be there”. Seeing privileged white kids run around the internet calling for good old Lenin/Stalin times are no better than bonehead Nazis fighting their own fears materialized as Yet Another [racist slur of your choice].

It’s entertaining for like five minutes, but the joke gets tiresome very quickly.
