Maybe in the distant pre-cloud past, when sysadmins were still a thing, you'd expect a bigger staff to be needed to manage a bigger datacenter.

But a few devs who know how to spin up a thing with auto-scaling can accomplish a lot

Wonder what the percent of AI datasets being propaganda is

I'm glad they're adding support, but I also feel like this is a hard one to sell to the general public. If it creates a better experience, word will get around about it, but going on stage and talking at length about how there's a new messaging protocol would have been a challenge for non-technical viewers

I just read they decided to default it to off. They should remove it entirely imo, but with this move, it costs IT departments $0 and 0 hours of their time to worry about.

I think business + government + education usage is more important for them than personal, and as long as this costs them nothing, I doubt it makes a dent in anyone's plans. Could have been an apocalypse if defaulted to on though.

I don't think Steam supports any sort of sliding scale system and they have a price parity rule which would be broken by offering it elsewhere

(for demonstration purposes only, please don't think I'm like this)

I think it shows some of the strengths of federated networks. If the owners of a small proprietary social network ghosted their project, it would take a huge effort to try to replace it, which would be insurmountable for many communities. But in this case, a community can fork onto a new server pretty quickly and seamlessly.

I could be wrong, but I don't see a path forward for Biden, and I think the Israel/Palestine conflict is a big part of it. It's so polarizing among Democrats/leftists. Biden will either be viewed as a genocide supporter or an anti-semite, and it's very difficult to find any sort of middle-ground. I don't think Republicans are as emotionally invested in it - they just don't want to see too much money sent away.

Different times. When I was growing up, a sex scene in a movie might be one of very few opportunities where you got to see a pair of boobs, unless you could get someone to buy you a porno magazine or VHS tape. These days, there are probably millions of options in this area, instantly accessible. And Hollywood-produced nude/sex scenes are all going to be fake and cringy in comparison.

This can certainly be done as long as we stick to the five core values - take ownership, take the leap, act with integrity, put the customer first, and dare to innovate.

I'd place Twitch in that spot before Tiktok as well. Bordering on unusable for years
