In the UK, gas & electric is also privatised and in a poor state too :) Almost like private investment generates return for investors, not customers. Sometimes those align.

I’m in the UK and we recently got the Online Safety Act. We failed, this legislation is very popular with voters and not getting rolled back. Those that dislike it use a VPN and ar…

Try watching until Season 2 if you can. The show got much better and it's honestly a shame it was cancelled when it just got good.

The best carbon capture technology is to plant trees. As in, billions of trees per year, which is carbon negative only if the net number of trees is growing. Maybe even get creativ…

Good luck!

As other people have mentioned, landing pages + waitlists aren't the best nowadays. I do think a better way to get traction is to go and find 1-2 customers who will work closely wi…

Far easier to develop a culture of using something physical like yubikeys - over flimsy cardboard QR codes. The key metaphor makes a lot more sense that way, too.

Craigslist has been utterly disrupted by FB Marketplace where I live, unfortunately.

Real estate and job listings, for one.

Awesome stuff. A couple years ago I built my own bespoke service (which I won't plug here) to do exactly this, but in a generic way. In retrospect, it would've been far more useful…

I would challenge the assertion that Android hasn't had an impact on software support for Linux. For example, most game engines and hundreds of pieces of middleware are generally s…

Maybe. I think it will solve the bootstrapping problem of all games being Linux compatible. The demand for proper software might not be far behind.

This and the recent Steam Deck news makes me think we might have a few million Linux gamers soon. That might even be enough to tempt software support from the traditional vendors l…
