About dreamdu5t

Became a hacker after learning to read, sold my first company when I was 10, and started a VC fund at 13. I program for breakfast, create disruptive companies for lunch, and eat PhDs for dinner. While asleep, I generate passive-income and dream of my next TED talk.

    Is there going to be no moderation policy for the constant day-in day-out Facebook tabloid clickbait?

    Comparing Facebook to murder is dramatic and childish. This Facebook hysteria is tiring.

    Am I the only one that hates that the “fediverse” is not on the web? We didn’t need a separate protocol/app and closed servers to do what are actually just blog posts and replies.

    Tim should put his money where his mouth is! He posts on Twitter instead of his own blog. Saving the web is pretty simple: post to your own blog and stop using closed silos like Fa…

    Again. Hyperbole. We’re adults here. Who are you trying to convince with that crap? No, Facebook is a website. They aren’t involved in genocide. They aren’t why Trump is president.…

    Just a reminder to all the children here: You don’t have to use Facebook. Really.

    Hyperbole. Facebook is a free website... A website . Burying competitors is a good thing. That’s the whole point. That’s literally the objective of every business in the entire eco…

    It’s terrifying that people want to use the government to regulate a free website that nobody even has to use and which has not actually caused anyone harm. GDPR tyrants: get a lif…

    It doesn’t matter how many words people write and how many times they say “disruption” Uber is still just a taxi company.

    We have them. HTML/HTTP work great, but the DOM and JS APIs are out of control, and their surface area has no end in sight. The web actually works great without JS, and doesn’t req…

    Serverless was never a thing. There are servers, whatever you want to call the them. Observing coworkers spend weeks setting up serverless stacks, for not needing a server they sur…

    Paywalls aren’t enshrined by any law. You’re misinformed. the web is public, despite SV’s best attempts to subvert and exploit that. If you don’t want someone accessing information…

    None of that is debt. You didn’t pay anything for the Vietnam war, and I’m not sure what you’re trying to say about urbanization and driving, but it has nothing to do with debt.

    > who now have to live with, and pay, their debt. No you don’t. You don’t have to pay your parents debts. Not sure what “debt” you are referring to?

    Do you support microformats? I much prefer static content to ActivityPub, and honestly a lot of AP sites are less accessible than ones with RSS or micro formats. The indie web appr…

    Spend more time outside and less time inside reading about rich people. It’s that simple. I’d recommend minimum 3 hours outside no screen every day.
