For the price point, it's a novelty. I've tried them once, but it wasn't good enough for me to pay such a premium on an, ultimately, inferior version of the real thing - or even other vegan products.

They should add a nepotism column for Germany.

I was one of the people not only perplexed by the positioning, but that they managed to raise money. Props to Suhail for selling it - it does make me wonder how many great ideas are slipping through purely from VC's requiring flashy sa

I guess a recession will do that? Would love to see other countries' breakdowns.

Yes yes, bad analogy.

Our immune systems can't just "take a break" like it did during the pandemic. Its a muscle, you don't use it; it atrophies.

Love Affinity products. Absolute steal for the price.

I think I will trust/use/invest in the company whose business model depends on me using the platform.

> what stops you to choose instance served by a company That when the goodwill of said company runs out, there is very little incentive for them to maintain the service (other than trying to monetize it).

Social accounts are monetizable & part of peoples brands now - “well if it blows up ah well” might be fine for you or for me, but might not be for others.

Great idea, terrible execution. Seems they want to maybe bring a product or marketing person on board.

*helps fund the translation engine in Mastodon. NLnet might have its roots in the EU, but you shouldn't conflate the two.

Mastodon is too fragmented to work... well. For example; this tweet: https://twitter.com/joinmastodon/status/1585756076305444864 . Would you really host your email on a server that some dude in rural Canada runs in

> in the US and less civilized countries Going to have a hard time finding some goodwill when you refer to other countries as "less civilized". A tad hypocritical.

I will say this; I've been really disappointed with the journalism coming out about this - especially TechCrunch. There was an article yesterday [1] that read like a high-schooler writing about their favourite popstar getting dumped. T

I would tell anyone buying a mechanical/automatic watch to also buy a watch winder. Complaining about the fragility of (in this case) cheap consumer products is also, unfortunately, self-defeating. I have a Tag Heuer that I've bee

Not the worst theory I've come across. However, it sounds a bit metaphysical.

Wow, rewind 2 years and the comments for any GitLab post looked really different. I'm still a GitHub user/fan - but seems the GL folks might want to pay attention.

> because naming stuff is hard This feels like a weak argument. Yes, naming things are hard - but we name classes, variables, dom elements & everything else every day. There are also really good naming patterns for CSS out there too

You also don't need CSS-in-JS.

by beardedman 4y ago
I don't like massive long class names on my DOM elements. And I don't think it makes the code look/read nice. Tailwind is so close to CSS that I'm often left scratching my head as to why people don't just write CSS

Nowhere else do people mention the continent as much as Europe. And, for the life of me, I don't know why this is!? And it always seems to mean "we respect your data". Let the product speak for itself, I'm not switching

I honestly miss Adobe from 10 - 15 years ago. It feels like they were a product company back then, as opposed to an upsell-advertising company (they are now). I don't use their products a lot these days, but when I do; I am always surp
