background:
- over the weekend I started making the @htmx_org twitter account increasingly corporate looking
- started talking a lot about MSFT, implying they were interested in htmx
- someone asked if MSFT was going to buy htmx: https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746656784088228204 https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746656784088228204
- i then put up a post about changing the htmx license, implying i was going to restrict it due to MSFT interest: https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746736273728094323 https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746736273728094323
- I then made is 0BSD instead of 2BSD: https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746880860723544211 https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746880860723544211
- I then posted the "offer" i got from MSFT (some credit card thing) https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746895016256328079 https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746895016256328079
- And explained how there were no lies involved in the ruse: https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746924827641102719 https://fxtwitter.com/htmx_org/status/1746924827641102719
the reason i did all this is for the lols

- internet101010 3y agoOnly applicable to private label items.
- dan15 3y agoI used one of their 20% off coupons for a Simplehuman bin a while back (one of the ones with recycling on the left and trash on the right). Having said that, I don't think they actually take coupons any more. It stopped when all the physical stores closed. The offer here is a cash back offer, where you pay the full price then another company (like TopCashback, Rakuten, apparently Microsoft too) gives you 10% cash back.
- philwelch 3y agoI always felt like “simplehuman” was the kind of brand name a condescending AI would come up with. “Simple human, buy this trash can and I will sell you overpriced, custom-fitting trash bags forever!”

- geek_at 3y agosince the WHOIS states it's DNS servers are hosted by cloudflare (twitter is hosted by twtrdns.net) it seems to be a "fuck x - twitter.com" forwarding domain. Maybe also with some tracking to see how many people clicked the link but that's just speculation

- isoprophlex 3y agoAbsolute madman Should have gone for the "do whatever the fuck you want" license though
- recursivedoubts 3y agoi went to berkeley so i have a soft spot for BSD (even though BSD0 technically isn't derived from BSD)
- bruh2 3y agoI love your spirit. Actually funny
- purple_ferret 3y agoYour lack of professional seriousness is truly astounding. One of the primary reasons we've gone with React/NextJS coupled with MongoDB and Kubernetes over HTMX
- sgift 3y agoTalks about lack of professional seriousness. Goes with MongoDB. Sometimes reality writes the best jokes.

- endisneigh 3y agoWhat’s wrong with mongodb?
- macintux 3y agoI can't speak to its current state, but there were some highly dubious design decisions early in its life, such as the library would reply to the client indicating a successful push of data into the database before the network request even left the local computer.
- endisneigh 3y agoThe past mongodb issues don’t seem relevant unless they persist today, no?
- macintux 3y agoReputational damage is difficult to recover from.
- endisneigh 3y agoThat’s not relevant to the question of “what’s wrong with mongodb?” It seems folks just regurgitate memes without any understanding of the current product.
- giancarlostoro 3y ago> the reason i did all this is for the lols Do the lols while you still can, the Trust and Safety departments at major social media companies want to extinguish funny. Everyone who does even a smidgen of memeing on the internet knows what happens when you post images of large spiders. People start talking about burning things down, like the entire building its inside of, etc. Someone posted a video where a little girl had one crawling on her hand, it was bigger than her face. I said "Girl get away from that spider, we have to set the house on fire" and the AI anti-funny overlords at Facebook deleted my comment, and gave me some sort of "strike" and then I appealed, and was auto denied. Our favorite Sci-Fi dystopias coming soon, to a Trust and Safety social media site nightmare near you.
- recursivedoubts 3y agoThe only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already cancelled. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a shiposter is supposed to function: without mercy, without anxiety, without remorse. All shiposting depends upon it.
- giancarlostoro 3y agoI mean, I just stopped using Facebook instead, I was an admin for my employer at the times Facebook app (used for login) so I did not want to risk it. It's Facebooks loss.
- ordinaryradical 3y agoWe happy few, we band of brothers.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoMeanwhile someone was using my late brother's name and face(in a list of supposed "vaccine casualties". My brother died from heart failure after lifelong illness, age 39) to spread vile antivaxx/protrump stuff. All reports denied. It was glaringly obvious she was a paid misinfo troll.
