@haskal no not really, but I hate seeing that conflated with the programming language itself, which in modern versions is actually really nice imo

working with/without javascript (for all those cavepeople with irrational programming language hatred)

@kim yay, I always just piece some shit together when it comes to Go, but I think it's not tooo bad this time

also so far finding documentation for golang libs has been atrocious. 👏 Autogenerated 👏 javadoc👏 comment 👏 dumps 👏 are 👏 not 👏 documentation 👏

it's such a waste that some programming languages force you to use a strict typing system (Go in this case) but it doesn't even have the option to make *actually useful* type constraints, like "this is a string AND it has to start with @"

Pre-disclosure: we are planning a coordinated security release of several Matrix clients starting ~1pm UK (UTC+1) Monday Sept 13th to address a critical vuln. We have no evidence of it being exploited in the wild, but please be sure to upgrade on Mon! matrix.org/blog/2021/09/10/pre

@m455 short answer: nope.

the main part of the article, the points from the gist by the Grid, a hostile fork by a very toxic developer, has things that were never true, and many things that were fixed since then (as addressed in matrix.org/blog/2019/09/27/pri for example). But yet they refuse to update their gist with the current state, instead choosing to perpetuate so much FUD, causing new blogs like this to be written (and shared) as well.

the rest is mostly a bunch of dubious claims ending with "but we haven't actually investigated this" (because then you'd find out it's not true)

they're using it as a conceptual model too much, like yes entity x and y have a real world relation, but it's not important for the database at all
