@rocky1138 @misty Not finding stuff on Discogs is so disheartening when it happens. It’s like… gee, is this even attainable? (Only seeing for sale at absurd prices also.. oof).

@misty Not to encluragw like competition for thr CD… but do ypu recommend the music? Should I try to buy a digital copy?

@txt_file @maxine Could maybe be because Linux is using an older version of the GPL license that corporations like better?

@a_lex_ander I was kinda aware that PHP had gradual typing (as with all scripting languages), so it doesn’t change it *that much* for me. I really like fairly strong and strict type systems. Of course those come with their own tradeoffs (my Swift compile times are at times slow and my the compiler error messages not always the easiest to understand). I suppose I’m willing to pay that particular price.

EDIT: Did not take it as an attack at all! It’s hard to keep detailed track of all tech communities and it was fun to learn more!

@a_lex_ander @Crell @sushee I mean, my main point here was that even if my premise was true you would still *have to* recognize that it’s not worse than many other popular and relatively respected languages.

Additionally I also wanted to make the point that you can dislike something and still respect it.

@Crell @sushee That’s cool to hear!

I feel with gradually typed languages culture matters a lot. How much is types used in practice?

@sushee While I _personally_ don't like PHP… but like from an objective perspective it's just *not* that different from all the scripting languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc… who seem to be be fairly respected.

I'm also confused by how people can think it's lesser. Around 40% of all websites is built with a PHP-based system and one of the biggest social networks was built on it. It can clearly be used to create things.

Personally I think it's cool if someone make stuff and if PHP is one of those tools, cool!

(My dislike is of PHP is mainly based on my mild dislike of scripting languages in general, specifically: I find lack of static typing in languages very awkward to work with personally.)

@nileane It’s criminal that they sold it with 256Gb SSD combined with a low ram count which means that poor SSD is swapping all the time.

My M2 Air 24Gb 512SDD feels really fast still.

@jensimmons I don’t use it and the pressure have convinced me that I need to invest further in understanding the systems I work with.
