It seems that the user base here has been deteriorating and the focus has been drifting away from the SV startup scene.

It looks like the vaunted experience of Biden and his team has not translated into any sort of deft policymaking, particularly in foreign policy.

Pretty surefire way of helping fence-sitters become client sta…
Derna forever! EDIT: Sorry for the low-effort riffing. I was being wry.

As for countries deciding to not rely upon America, that has long been a desire, but the previous administration drove it home like a stake through the heart. Having lived outside of the US for most of the last five years I can’t fully express how far the US has fallen in the eyes of the world, and just how much of a joke we are these days.
