  The irony of Facebook running entirely on Linux is not lost on me.

  The pro version supports ECC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If your founder used Microsoft, that might be why they just chose to go with what they knew.

  I agree with all your points bar one.

  5000 employees, 10b valuation. We use Google docs. We’re not “China Telecom” big, but I doubt anyone would call us small. I think most young companies are happy on google docs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If we took the words at face value, I don’t think we could label anything we’ve built AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember 9/11, but not the fall of the Berlin Wall. And I was about as far away from both as you can get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know. And some of that money, funds development, and some of that development includes security.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m not so young. Like, I agree with you on one level,.it gives the company less control to rug pull on you and slide in a whole heap of enshittification. It’s the shitty behaviour of some companies that makes subscriptions painful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not really. Unless you can only expect to pay once for software and never expect any updates. Software development is expensive. And even self hosted stuff requires constant attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno man, I don’t care much, when Plex gets shitty enough I’ll jump. But paying for the ongoing maintenance of software isn’t some evil thing, even if I self host it.

  I think a robot with sentences is just ChatGPT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never used a typewriter. I’ve also never been to blockbuster, but I assume this is just American for “rented a film from a physical store”.
