Re: [go-nuts] Re: now that the election is over can we please remove the political ad for golang.org

Btw, when this started (see original thread) I compared some main pages of websites of popular languages. And you know what? I didn't find stupid banner on Java or Rust websites, and on many others. Maybe they were smart enough to show it only to US visitors, idk. Anyways, Russ Cox obviously th

Re: [go-nuts] Re: now that the election is over can we please remove the political ad for golang.org

afaik George Soros is behind the BLM Campaign, this alone justifies removing the banner. From now on the Golang Community should be inclusive and tolerate all political opinions. Seems to be harder than writing speedy go code ... On Wednesday, 17 March 2021 at 17:59:52 UTC mortdeus wrote: > "

Ian, This individual is either trolling us or suffering some sort of psychological crisis that warrants intervention by a mental health professional. Either way I think we've all had quite enough of their rants and their behavior warrants banning from this mailing list. On Wed, Mar 17, 2021 at 10:

Steve Jobs is literally on tape saying he doesn't believe in equality of outcome, only equality of opportunity. Therefore respect his ghost, and get rid of the stupid ad. That's the least you owe him for making unix at least look sexy. It might not perform all that well in bed (though with a l

There is a reason why Steve Jobs spent all the day, yelling at you stubborn #&@#s for not getting why Bob Dylan is an essential component to why Apple is now the most valuable company in the world. If what I am saying sounds crazy, just know you thought my ideas were the dopest ideas in SV whe

Re: [go-nuts] Re: now that the election is over can we please remove the political ad for golang.org

I literally don't want the banner because I don't like the way it looks. It's really like an ocd thing for me. And you all need to understand, that is extremely important. Way more important than your political concerns. Because like I said, a tool like this is honestly the only effective way to

No Go is literally a 1000x bigger achievement than the Mona Lisa, because somehow we managed to get a bunch of people to come together and somehow create a miracle of engineering. In a perfect world, where the market also adopts the most efficient technological solutions. Plan 9 should have b

Re: [go-nuts] Re: now that the election is over can we please remove the political ad for golang.org

It's not an uncommon practice for teams that run a public website to raise awareness for a good cause, usually by supporting fundraising for a social nonprofit charitable organization. Some choose a children's cancer charity or the Wikimedia foundation, this is what the Go team chose. This does

Don't just talk shit, post evidence that explains why your shit doesn't technically stink just as bad as everybody elses. Because my shit smells like roses, and therefore you should all be forced to endure it, because I am the change you are too chicken shit to be (but sure as hell will talk a

Re: [go-nuts] Re: now that the election is over can we please remove the political ad for golang.org

This is why my opinion alone should carry more weight than all of yours combined. Take the stupid ad down, and instead lets promote a culture that actually works to address the issues of poverty using the tools we actually built. Why give money to a charity, when you can pour that money into s

Re: [go-nuts] Re: now that the election is over can we please remove the political ad for golang.org

Just read your thread. Don't you like how everybody just completely ignored your opening argument that there is a place for politics and there is a place for purity? They are literally arguing that when you open a science book for say a topic like biology and lets say the authors (who are tota

Im just saying you can literally justify a fork of the language where the only change is to remove this ad from the website code, and everything else is just a mirror and the readme is "the pogo programming language, literally just Go but with the dumb political shit taken out" And that fork w

You know what, I just thought of the best analogy to put this argument to rest. About 10 years ago, when go v1.0 first came out, I like many of the familiar faces in this thread, absolutely fell in love with the language. It was literally like a goldilocks "this one is juust right" moment f

Re: [go-nuts] Re: now that the election is over can we please remove the political ad for golang.org

The banner is not related to the (US presidential) election. It is also not partisan - it is purely issue-oriented and not associated to a particular party (of any country). As such, nothing has really changed since the topic last came up
