First coffee ☕ spit take of the day. Silver star 🌟 FTW! (Gold stars are reserved for the through my nose responses) 😉

Living through the emergence of Creative Commons and Copyleft I'm kind of horrified by the way #NFTs came out of the gate like an injured horse. Is there no ideal of free and open remaining?

Indeed. My first experience with international chat was on a 300 baud Hayes external model, a Commodore 64 and QLink BBS chats. It was in that moment as a fairly young woman I had the first awakening that the world was going to disrupt and change. And so it has, and so it does.

Hahahaha! It's a truly ridiculous language in oh so many ways. Also, you get a silver star - coffee spit. (Gold is for a through the nose laugh!)
Yes, exactly! Multiuser, Mass Multiuser BBSs and many other Internet protocols prior to 1993 available did have moderated, tight-knit communities with more warmth in my experience. It's been hard to replicate on Web without community turning into mass, often unethical mass media.

Logic suggests we should pronounce according to the word of origin (g/graphic; g/regular). This all goes to my constant rantings about our lack of parity in language use, extreme attachment to labeling, dissonance in meaning and the communicaition problems that arise as a result.

But the alternative is that there’s a total meltdown of the system and that it becomes unusable. That would be a catastrophe.”

So yes, cultural shifts away from camel casing EveryThing. I always said "Jiff" for GIF and people would argue that choice, but I came out of BBSs and CompuServe (LOL, case issues we have, yes?) which is the home of the GIF. Steve Wilhite, its inventor, claimed "Jiff" in 1987. :)
Heh. And we dig the hole deeper. JS and ES are not the same per se. The one true authority for help with clarifying nomenclature, contemporary spellings and understanding the history, applications and variants of ES would be @BrendanEich
The upper case "S" is a holdover from branding back in the 'let's rename LiveScript JavaScript and package it with Java" when the two aren't related. It is a brand spelling, not the generic, as it were. There's also a general trend toward de-camel-casing a lot of technical terms.
Yes. I've never personally worked with it however. I don't use motion graphics myself anymore. I'm oriented to document and content-rich sites over component-driven apps and re-imagining <blink> 😂😇

Doesn't looking out for people, and the choice to make that a priority for yourself require a philosophy, an ethic - a way of thinking born of analysis and debate? All I'm suggesting is that thinking in a vaccuum appears to wind up serving the vaccuum, not the person(s) involved.

LOL! "...but in JavaScript" is the death cry on the last hill of a brutal battle for quality in Web dev. 😂 Also, it's now officially just written as 'Javascript' - no more camel-case. 🐪
You bring up a good point here, and that's the use of some form of modifier for a given term. "Dog grooming" is a lot more specific than just "grooming" and clarifies language, conveying far more meaning as a result. This is another approach to evolving communications that work.

Aimed or aimless, we shoot shoot shoot
Anywhere USA where it's what we do
Assimilate, oppress, distract, confine
Perhaps we have yet realize:
Choosing The One leaves The Other to die.
