Do you have a source for the assertion that Twitter has "incredible profits?" As a private company I think their financials aren't as widely published any more, but I honestly haven't seen any information on which way their financials are going.

If you look on SteamDB PyGame and Ren'Py are the 5th and 6th most used technologies, ahead of Godot. https://steamdb.info/tech/

Some people point out this is mainly because of the erotic novel shovelware that is quite popular on Steam.

>It's like if every Mastodon user ran their own server

No, it's like every Mastodon user used the same server, and all the coordination is done by one server that nobody can replicate.

People seem to lark on and on about how it has better "default moderation" than Mastodon.

There is a recourse. Move instances.

Because that is their right to do so, and if the users of that instance disagree they can migrate to another one fairly easily?

smokeping is one of the best of these bunch, if not significantly more effort to setup.

WinMTR is a thing, but you have to install it, ofcourse.

Well that explains the line of reasoning pretty clearly.

>Its federated model is not meant to give control to the end user.

Can you elaborate on this? I would think giving control to the end user is exactly what a federated model would do.

Out of curiosity, how much runway does fly.io have (without raising new funding?)

I test drove a 2023 Odyssey and Sienna and could barely tell them apart.

Unfortunately they never are.

I'd happily drive a minivan because they are better than small pickups, SUVs and crossovers in many ways but they're boring and thats the mold they're trying to fill. If someone broke that mold then maybe they'd find people like the utilitarian appeal of the minivan but want a little bit more than the bare necessities of hauling children.

Ad hominem attacks against fellow posters is very anti-HN.

>I'm not personally convinced that minivans lend themselves to much differentiation.

I agree. That is why my original thesis was that Hondas are now uninspiring, undifferentiated and boring. Pretty much minivans are all those things, by default.

Yet still bland and undifferentiated and a minivan.

Its cute but not particularly exciting in my opinion, what do you think?

Its too bad since Honda has seemed to have totally lost its luster the past decade or so. Honda was Apple to Toyota's Microsoft for a long time, now their cars are bland and undifferentiated, rather than the innovative leaders they used to be.

I feel like the late 90's hacker ethos was completely different than what the kids coming up now a days are bent to. Sure there was always the element of illegality, digital trespass, pirating, etc., but now the focus seems to be much more squarely on things like swatting, DDOSing, and scamming.

I didn't think my Chromecast was that old (its the puck style) but whenever I try this with VLC using the "Render" menu (on macOS) it just... doesn't work. The Chromecast just never sees it (even though it shows up in the Render menu in VLC)

And if they do make them to slack, usually all those things that you would have to manually make filters for are usually in their own channels that you can just mute.

>a complete surrender of principles at Meta

Charitable to assume those "principles" weren't performative if they can be discarded so easily. Lets not forget this product was developed as a mechanism to skeeze on college girls.

Since the CEOs of Google, Amazon and Meta were seated at the front row of the inauguration, IN FRONT OF the incoming cabinet, I'm pretty confident their techno -power-barrel will come via other channels.

One is the sworn enemy of the western democratic system, and one depends on it.

When he got away with calling the Thai diver "pedo guy" using the "lol jk" defense then he knew he could get away with anything.

People trying to act like this Chinese controlled vehicle supports free speech is so weird to me. They're not "censoring" anything - they're using it as a straight unimpeded funnel to subvert the west.

I'm guessing Elon welched on his bet otherwise he wouldn't have needed to try to monetize this.

If you like Beat Takeshi I can't recommend his "Outrage" trilogy enough.

There is abundant evidence that these type of hardware inserts exist and are being deployed. Why do you think it isn't happening?

I, personally, am convinced it has and is happening.
