You can easily do this today, just start a mastodon instance and restrict the signups. I run a > 100 user instance on just a $10 digital ocean VPS. I'm seeing small tight-knit comm…

I'm shocked by the comments of those here that don't see why something like this must exist and don't see that there is tremendous financial upside for whoever cracks this. Employe…

Over the years I've tried a leap, gesture, HON exposure, aeron, and embody... and after all of it still find I vastly prefer a $70 Ikea Millberget to all of them https://www.ikea.c…

The hon is pretty good, but the way the back tilts isn't super comfortable to me, and also the arm rests are a very hard plastic. I put padding on the top of the arms, but then the…

I 100% agree with the author on this. VR in its current iteration is clearly not suitable for this in any way, but down the line the fundamentals of VR align perfectly with some of…

Facebook deemphasizing clickbait content reliably hurts their metrics. YouTube deemphasizing extremist videos reliably hurts their metrics. This metrics-driven product development …

I was just as entrenched but am about a year into a gradual transition. Signed up with another email provider with an address @ a domain I own, transferred my entire mail history, …

I'm a layman, but to my knowledge navigating a digital environment and a real one are the same minus some steps of the process. A self-driving car recreates a digital reality via s…

This (or something like it) is always the top thread. I wish this was something the frontend community cheered about, not lamented. Those 200MB of node modules are developers ad-ho…

I tried to do the same during a bout of extended international travel. I popped out the fi sim once to try a super cheap local unlimited data sim (some countries are great for this…

You should definitely check out https://pixelfed.org/ (with https://pixelfed.social/ being a good example instance)

It's not youtube. It's not facebook. It's not twitter. You can write this article about any company these days. It's a deeper fundamental devil's cocktail of monetized attention + …

I've found myself so annoyed with the touch bar I used this great disabler https://github.com/LumingYin/TouchBarDisabler Conveniently, it maps key combos like ctrl+1 to make the sc…

I've seen it pointed out before though that it would fall back to just the BSD license and others countered saying that was definitely not the case. It seems to be yet another fund…

Good point. Just switched it to rdom-open (first thing that popped in my head lol)

https://github.com/kevinflo/react-open at least to play around with for my own purposes. I forget what the state of things even was back in .11

I love love love love love react as a technology, but this is just awful. I believe any developer not on Facebook's payroll still contributing to React or React native at this poin…

We've had an excellent experience with http://cloudinary.com/ for pretty much what you describe.
