   It's going pretty well actually. I originally had three different plans with feature-walls, but I hated doing that, so I just freed it all up under one umbrella. Stripe dashboard tells me the average subscription is around what Disqus

   Fixed! Thanks, I'll patch this upstream soon enough :) I actually had the provision to omit the email in these requests [1], but I forgot to unset the email before responding. [1] https://gitlab.com/commento/commen

   Honestly, I always thought being privacy focused is simply not succumbing to third-party trackers, ads, and other shady stuff. Really, the barrier for entry to qualify as privacy-focused in the comments space is extremely low. But you make

   Hiya, creator here. My original post from April 2017 [1] when I released Commento as a self-hosted software received fantastic feedback, but the single most requested feature was a hosted service because it's not always convenient to m

   I think the definition is a bit murky there. I can do a _lot_ of things on a Reddit page without a refresh: add comments, delete comments, edit, sticky, report as spam, save, hide the post, view the contents of the post (if it's an ima

   I think old.reddit.com's interface is more user-friendly than HN's. Why should I leave the page to write a comment? Avoiding JS just for the sake of avoiding is just blind fanaticism under the pretense of being faster and more lig

    Everybody realises this at some point. Nobody ever thought "I can use this for anything" when they first saw a shell. It takes time.

    I think a few DNS records can fix their UI, don't need 300MM for that. Just make reddit.com the same as old.reddit.com.

    I imagine most of the engineering addition is in Google Cloud? Given the fierce competition at the top with AWS and Azure. Just a guess though.

    >best data of both Isn't that basically just Google Maps? I thought Apple Maps' data was just a subset of Google Maps'. What does Apple Maps do better? Genuinely curious.

    As someone who's completely unversed in game engines, will this result in better native Linux gaming support? That's honestly all I care about.

    What's wrong with shipping GPLv3 code? Can't they just provide the source (are they making significant changes that they want to keep proprietary?) to comply with the license?

    I don't think anyone is criticising them. They're offering constructive alternatives to improve their pattern to help them donate even more for the same amount.

    Unfortunately, they all exist in parallel. So unless we figure out how to cryogenically freeze humans for hundreds of years, we'll run out of Torvaldii (which I think should be the plural for Torvalds) very soon.

    I wish it was the other way around. We'd have fewer, but faster features.

    You just need one person to leak it (or 2-3, if you care about journalistic integrity and receive the information from multiple sources). Remember, you don't need true cryptography -- you just need to get information out. It's oka

    Is there a resource that explains the historical intricacies and licensing issues surrounding ZFS from the beginning? From what I've seen, it's a clusterfuck whichever *nix OS you like.
