    Isn't that what VCs in general are doing? Hiring for more money, with more expected gains from you, with a different kind of legal arrangement, but still hiring nevertheless.

    It's still worth doing wood work in the age of IKEA. Perhaps even more so.

    I don't have Spotify, I have Navidrome. Self-hosted on a cheap old mini PC.

    I see. Language barrier here. In my language "criminal" is somebody that killed another person. Seems in English the word can be used for any "unlawful activity". Good to know.

    I got interested in Ham radio after listening to this episode with NVK: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nvk/id1694064646?i=100... Seems that the movement is going through a s…

    China will definitely not love the tariffs. Criminal? What are you even talking about?

    While I've been a PHP hater most of my life, as I get older I start appreciating its simplicity. I still think it's a terrible language, but I would not be surprised if it went thr…

    Sounds like something I would easily forget: "forget yo"!

    Or just forget all of that and go to Fossil? SQLite seems the least likely to pull the rug.

    Depending on what content I am watching, sometimes I learn more from the comments than from the video itself.

    Nostr is relays + clients. BlueSky is PDS + relays + clients. If you look at the history of Nostr and try to really understand the protocol, where it came from and what it was tryi…

    Sounds more like a chat bot answer, TBH. It misses the point of the question in a much too subtle way.

    Not really. Twitter clones are one application indeed, but I see it more like RSS on steroids.
