Uploading the work itself doesn't seem like it would work in a lot of cases. I'm picturing e.g. Google trying to upload their entire monorepo with hundreds of thousands of file changes per day -- to what end exactly?

You could make the same claim about any urban area in the past 100+ years. Prices were always way more than in non-urban areas. What's different now? Why is it just now unsustainable?

This seems like semantics. Presumably they're taking these factors and putting them into some kind of calculation which probably outputs something like a... score. Maybe what you are criticizing is a particular input in that calculatio

I'm not sure what Meta or the fediverse has to gain by attempting to get in bed with each other -- a lot of people on the fediverse are extremely anti-big-biz, and extremely anti-meta in particular. IMO all Meta has to do to succeed he

The iPhone is capable of playing plenty of mobile games downloaded through the app store, but can't play a mobile game that came through some other channel, so the closer analogy is "my Ferrari has 600hp and can go 200mph down int

We're doing something in between here at Meta by generally pushing people to choose one or the other but allowing both. The company just announced a 3 days per week RTO policy for those assigned to an office, but employees are free to
