I don't dislike that they at least want to see you in real life once tbh. I love ease of registration like anyone else, but with tax avoidance and all that, idk. Feels right to me to have at least seen yourself once.
Always surprised me in the land of the "Free" they ban a whole lot more than in most other countries. Books, LGBT stuff, no objective media. It feels quite medieval.
These arguments become so vague to me that it just feels like an excuse for governments to do whatever they want.
Calling it "Grey zone conflict" feels like the "Deep state" shenanigans... It's primarily marketing to achieve your goal.
We've seen the invasion of Iraq; that was all based on lies. We got ISIS as a result... "National security circles" look for evidence so it fits their narrative. Like watching FoxNews. It's a very narrowminded funnel of carefully picked pieces of evidence. They are not truth seekers that aim to provide a holistic view of the situation. No, they are scared aged men who love to control the narrative and see danger in everything in the hope to get more funding for their next projects.
Btw; banning TikTok is a good thing, but for other reasons entirely.
> Today many web developers consider jQuery to be “legacy software.” With all due respect to this perspective, jQuery is currently used on 75% of all public websites, a number that dwarfs all other JavaScript tools.
I feel that is misleading. I worked on a lot of websites and none of them included jQuery willingly or sometimes even knowingly.
Either it's shipped as a peer dependency or we're talking about wordpress and the like which use it (and drives much of the web!).
I've seen it frequently shipped because of scripts embedded into a larger frontend codebase. Stuff they really don't want there to begin with.
I do not for a second believe that 75% of frontend dev work is in jQuery. In fact, I'd be surprised if it's more than 5% of all frontend engineering work is using jQuery.
Obviously some people might still use it for whatever reason; but those are a tiny majority (and probably quite vocal about it / over represented if they still prefer it).
So yes, to all intends and purposes I would claim jQuery is legacy software. Current usage (wherever they got that number from) does not mean it's still the preferred choice for the majority of web developers.
