Not the actual quote, no.

I started my career programming in C for an embedded controller, but have since moved on to C#, which is by far my favourite. I've also dabbled some in Python and a lot in Javascript, but I much prefer type-safe languages in general. Python''s whitespace-oriented design also rubs me the wrong way.

C# has come a long way since I started using it, and it now being both OS- agnostic and well suited for backend services has made it my go-to for personal projects. Frontend applications are still written in JS, however much that hurts me.

Yep; anxiety bordering on dread.

But that's true whenever I'm supposed to reach out to anyone or meet up anywhere.
My brain just doesn't handle stuff like that in a reasonable way in general.

I seem to agree with most other users in this thread.

Sure, the privacy aspect is nice; most people already share too much information with third parties unwillingly, but I think a good user experience should be prioritised. If option 3 is more likely to provide that, I would choose going that way.

Most people, especially those migrating from other sites, probably care more about the images loading than the privacy involved with proxying them.

It would maybe be nice to have an option to not load external resources automatically, or a black/whitelist for certain sites, if such an option doesn't already exist.
