I'm not sure I do, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet is consumer psychologists. I once read an argument that they could be improving people's mental health, instead they are working on manipulating people into buying more.

no, it's a feature, not a bug, that we can have more than one community for discussing the same topic here; makes it harder to censor

oddly enough those also correspond approximately to how well I (native German speaker) know each of these languages; but why is there a stereotype that us Python devs and Esperantists need to shower more? :(

tests are for confirming your code STILL works if someone ever changes something

All the time, both on Windows and KDE Plasma. It's especially convenient for starting an app you don't have pinned to your taskbar, just press the Windows key and then type the name of the app.

The report cites Meta, the largest social media company in the world, for its vast role in permitting and enabling far-right propaganda and movements to use its platforms to grow members and garner support in the US and abroad.

yeah allowing free flow of information is bad for democracy...

in what kind of bizarro world do we live nowadays anyway

There are hidden cameras that look like power strips.

Rarely, but when I do: cutting in half, then eating it with a spoon. I never knew people did it other ways too.

or ladybird if that is in a usable state by then

I don't have a very good answer to that either tbh; do we really need to do that so often?

video → video producer

audio → musician, podcaster, … depending on the type of audio

text media → author

The UI platform with the largest install base of all is the web. Nearly all computer users can use your GUI if you develop it for the web, it's almost the definition of the universal open standard for GUIs.

Browsers can only execute JavaScript or WebAssembly, so you need to write it in JavaScript or in something that compiles to these things, e.g. TypeScript (but there are also ways to compile other languages to JS or WASM).
