I love IRC but it’s absolutely not usabale for non-tech people

So entanglement and teleportation aren’t practical for this? the max travel speed might be light but the time to process that information and react to it can be reduced. I’m not sure tho. But I strongly remember reading articles about this.

Well yes, not instantaneous instantaneous. But near-instant as far as I know. Much much faster than current speeds.

I think we’re saying the same thing.

I also believe one should not make professional decisions based on these things. But if the person just keeps these messed up things to themselve in their free time and doesn’t mix it with the project/profession I can mostly tolerate that.

So we become intolerant to intolerance? This is the perfect never ending loop!

An individual’s personal beliefs has nothing with their profession. Unless they leak it into their profession. Now the profession has that ideology and we can address that. The person, and especially as long as it’s just words and tweets etc, is separate from the work.

Anyway, this is my unpopular opinion.

You can ask the person, not the software project. The project is just a project. We can tear eachotger to pieces as individuals and then sit at a table trying to solve problems as professionals.

I probably disagree with 90% of Linus torvald’s beliefs and ideologies. Do I promote him as a person? No. Do I promote Linux as a great project and operating system? Hell yes. Same goes with Stallman or probably 90% of other people. Because that’show we are. Most of us share nothing in common and oppose eachother’s beliefs but we can still work together as professionals.

People in FOSS community (including users) nitpick way too much about eachother’s ethics and are mostly dictators so they expect everybody’s views to align with themselves and each sub-community/individual see themselves as the source of moral balance.

“oh no one of project XYZ maintainers doesn’t like trans people we should boycott the project and fork it into LibreLGBTQXYZ”

be professional ffs. See the project as the software and it’s technicality, art, science and engineering. we can’t be too picky about individual people’s beliefs and ethics especially in current situations.

React is absolute trash and people should stop using it

Java is overall a good language for getting things done, although not enjoyable to work with (thank god we have Clojure)

They’re not a silver bullet, but they have their usecases. Quantum internet can be very interesting due to instantaneous communications. But for general purpose computing, a hybrid approach of quantum+classical is most probably the way to go. There’s limited use cases for quantum computing in general computing.
