Interesting, I wonder how many other photographers will delete their photos. I'm curious, can you and will you be uploading them elsewhere?

RIP. I'm sure this acquisition will be great for the team but it's pretty obvious Getty will fill the site with tricky sponsored images. They will also likely start fading out new free images until the site is mostly stale or filled with sponsored image links. I could also see them playing around with image licensing so it's less obvious how you can use them. Welp, I guess there's always Pexels.

Actually that entity demands both. Man's justice and God's justice.

Yes, there are abusers and that is heinous. The catholic church has done unspeakable amounts of damage to Christianity. However, that damage was done by going against the teaching of Christ who warned against such evil saying: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea." Mark 9:42. There will be justice. I can't imagine having a worldview where these evil people just die and cease to exist. Totally escaping justice.

I agree that it isn't the same motivation but we're on trend to seeing a similar result. If we do get to that extreme then by that time, we'll have a new moral system which won't allow these types of conversations, in the same way certain extremist sects of christianity didn't allow dissidents to live. However, the form of christianity that we have now simply hurts peoples feelings. Hardly cause for such outrage. Though today hurting someones feelings is the equivalent of violence and there is no way to be forgiven except a life of apologizing and groveling. Exciting time to be alive.

I see no issues with Christianity from a philosophical standpoint. It explains things which our beyond our natural/physical world. Those things impact how we live in this world. I'm curious what you mean in your statement, please unpack your claim.

The same can be said of science in that science can't explain the supernatural or the after-life. Science was never meant to explain those things but we have tried to make it a replacement by trying to naturalize everything. Things that go beyond this realm of understanding and reason.

> But the fact that admission to this community required total philosophical adherence is just bizarre.
I don't think it's bizarre at all. With the church removed from western society something will fill the vacuum. And truly it already has. Our society requires complete unquestioning philosophical adherence to its new religion. What happened during the French revolution? They turned the churches into "Temples of Reason" all the while lopping off the head of anyone that did not wholly and totally adhere to their new moral code. Even in the end the god of this new moral code met his fate by the monster he created. Believe me what is happening is not what anyone here should want. For all of you who are thinking and reasonable. Read the history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dechristianization_of_France_d...

I'm a web dev so I only use it for web apps but you can certainly use it beyond web applications.

Awesome! I’ve been using a similar language for the last 10 years called Lucee (Lucee.io). It’s dynamic with an ecmascript style syntax and also runs on the jvm so it scales super well. I wonder how this compares.

Not from a personal point of view but from a global humanitarian point of view, mobile phones are how most people interact with the internet, technology, and the rest of the world. That should make it #1 on everybody's list. Right now 99.9999% of smartphones are closed source and closed hardware that is controlled by mega corps that don't have your best interests at heart.

Biggest issue I'm dealing with is their integrated iframe app view and trying to persist a session since cross-site cookies are being blocked more and more. For instance Safari now blocks them by default and Chrome announced they are doing the same. That means when the user logs in via the frame, you can't set a cookie or add a jwt to the localstorage. All blocked and there are no workarounds. Awesome.

Yes, this is really the only way to tolerate Docker on a Mac. Basically it's the same thing WSL does on Windows. Linux in a VM then you run Docker in the VM. Not many people talk about doing it this way though.

Yes, let’s throw out all art, scientific advancements, technologies, inventions, books, anything with an author that we find problematic.

Quasar and Ionic aren’t native though. They give you the JS app in a browser packaged into an app. React/Vue native give you a real native byte code app.

Just heard a very relevant Podcast called Cultish that digs into the thinking, teaching, strategies, and consequences behind a lot of these cults. The latest episode explores Jim Jones and Jamestown.

Glad to see there is an opensource photo editor based on Javascript. Projects like this are few and far between. Would be really cool to see more open source projects like this.
