Now, I'm a certified C++ programmer. I got some cash to burn so I'll try to see how many more I could do. I'll probably do the JS frameworks (jQuery, Angular, etc) because that's what keeps on appearing in job requirements. I don't get why W3Schools prices them the same as vanilla JavaScript though.

HEY #PAYPAL USERS! WATCH OUT!

On the web interface PayPal just introduced a new dark pattern #enshittification to the transfer-balance-to-bank-account process to trick the user into electing the premium and quite expensive "immediate transfer" option, instead of choosing the free 1-3 day option.

When you initiate a transfer, this is now what shows up:

I literally passed a JavaScript exam without studying, now I'm a certified JS developer.

The Illuminati has jokes. And if this is true, it is a record ripoff. Also, don't overlook #Rihanna's Illuminati ritual earlier this week with #LouisVuitton. Read about that here: gematriaeffect.news/pregnant-r

1960s - Oil gone in 10 yrs
1970s - Ice age in 10 yrs
1980s - Acid rain will kill all crops in 10 yrs
1990s - Ozone layer will disappear in 10 yrs
2000s - Ice caps will be gone in 10 yrs

NONE of these things happened - but ALL of them resulted in more taxes & less liberty.

@meso @dushman @raccoon @femboyslove @h Being a femboy is actually exactly what I would advocate for, if you really want to be a dude in a dress.

#Cloudflare used to welcome us #Tor users (and not just!) with captchas. Now it’s a spinner; it gives hope initially, but it’s deceitful: it just keeps spinning.

Among the vast parts of the Web stuck behind Cloudflare is w3.org. Thanks for showing the way!
