Forgive my ignorance, but might it matter if a country was hoping to limit another countries advancement into weaponising AI?

True. But this one points to threads, rather than twitter ;)

This is nice assuming you also have a BE that is equally matched.

Remix run, for me, bring the FE and BE together with the same simplicity.

People slow down for car accidents, too.

The days of simple joy when connecting with friends on Facebook are well behind us.

People understand it's a certain type of person who actively posts their photo on Facebook and their opinion on twitter. While the majority of normal people remain lukewarm at best.

I get it: Twitter is under pressure

Love it.

But, I generally feel social media is dying in far bigger ways than just these dilutions.

People don't trust it, and are caring far less.

The hey-day and the novelty has completely worn of for the majority who are not narcissistic enough to put the energy in to arguing or self-promoting.

Reality is king! Musk and Zuck and Xi are just all jostling for slices of a crusty, smelly pie.

Silly question: If I register "DJFJSKF.com", and then a company later registers DJFJSKF as a trade mark, do I have any rights for the fact I registered before they did?

Downloading onto devices is my only real feature

Sure there are other ways to do it, but Plex just makes it easy, so I paid

I've always thought the conventional wisdom was to not use your host as a registrar

That way, if you have issues with the host, you can at least point to a different host (without worrying about them managing your domain name)

Does this still apply here?

I guess no reason to trust any entity over another, just the eggs-in-basket principle.

OK correct me if I am wrong, but Git is designed to not need a Hub, right?

We've maybe been lazy with how we centralise repos in this way.

But whatever GitHub is doing, Vervel/AWS/CF can also do when you deploy, and they maybe already do to detect bad actors?

lots of free tiers have slow start up times when an app has been idle

(eg: heroku and render)

Not 100% sure if this is what is causing that on Vercel, but seems fair to me for free tiers?

Can we see the news site?

(also wouldn't mind a follow up article on hosting such a busy site!)

This website hasn't changed in a decade. They need to reimplement it in NextJS or something.

Elon Musk is in control of Twitter?

"Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said recruiting more hosts was the company’s top priority as it tried to meet demand for rental properties and reduce nightly costs"

AirBnB trying to solve the problem of people not being able to affording living in their own homes by acquiring even more AirBnB rentals.

I suspect this won't end well for AirBnB, or people trying to just survive.

Well their AI product hasn't sold for offers over 10k after >85 days, even when apparently earning 1k a month rev? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35229988

Might be a danger for devs to pile into that space

@theo_champion nice list, but would love to see a write-up on your journey!

This was something that was (mostly) praised in the start-up community up until now.

I guess every big-boy internet entity is losing a layer of shine in 2023.

Do you mean using ChatGPT this way would also be a liability?

True but is all that work and processing worth it? It needs to function on a mass scale.

CF functions are cheap, but at scale it's more than an irritant.

It's very odd the Musk is jumping on this.

Twitter is has an even bigger problem. I haven't seem pedo stuff, but there is far more explicit imagery. Unlike Insta, Twitter allows nudity and pornography, and it seems to be a haven for anything and everything. I've seen blue checks posting long form pornography, and it's not all great.

Lovely site!

One small thing to drastically improve loading and the feel of it: Please resize you thumbnail images to be 60kb-100kb or so.

When I load this page: https://mycloudsafari.com/browse

I see 8 images all around 3-4mb being loaded (one is 6mb)

This makes the page close to 30mb in size, when it could be a few megabytes and a lot more "snappy" for your users

(Side note: Mobile is loading the same image sizes as desktop, which is even worse. BUT don't stress, if you reduce the desktop image sizes it should be 'good enough' for mobile without bothering to take it any further)

Anyway you might already know all this, and are getting around to improving it already... just wanted to say incase in helps, as it's an otherwise great website... all the best!

The only thing I need from the existing app switcher is for it to ignore minimised apps.

That way I can have many apps open, but only care about a few at a time. And keep my focus.

Annoying that I have to install ae wizzbang addition to achieve such a simple thing.

I like alt Tab, great project and it's open source and has nice maintainers.

Just wish I could turn off the screen recorder feature, as I don't trust any app that does that without exceptional reasons. (In my case, I don't care about thumbnails)

Blue ticks are helpful because you can identify and mute them with JS and the Musk-lead narcissism.

lol at this getting downvoted, the bros don't like anything less than rolling their own on Bezo$ infra

Vercel is an excellent solution. If you ever need to scale beyond it, you're one of the lucky ones ;)

But until then, enjoy everything it has to offer, knowing it has good fundamentals.

It feels strange to me how these things are passing by and we don't have the energy to react.

Silly question, but how do we know to trust an app where all internet traffic passes through it?

There's a lot of scrutiny of VPN services in this regard, should it be the same here?
