One thing I’d like these to do (I tried a couple and settled for zsh-histdb with the fzf integration) is to be able to annotate past commands, with a description, tags or, even better, both. The use case I have in mind is when I end up craf

And the irony is really strong here since the term “metaverse” was coined in the context of a dystopian version of VR.

If anything, one could argue that makes it even _more_ clear that they knew what FB was intending to do with whatsapp and that it wasn't aligned with their principles.

As of now, I think this is a reasonable analysis when it comes to Apple. Although the point of the parent is still valid: regardless of what ideals/promises a company upholds today, they could always change tomorrow (for a variety of r

This article was written before FB acquired whatsapp back when it was still its own company. That being said, it was "only" 20 months later that FB acquired it, so it's hard to believe that the ideals discussed in this articl

Sure, there's lots to consider. But as a user of whatsapp since they wrote this article, and that has been trying to get my friends and family off whatsapp since they got acquired by FB, I am terribly sorry that they took that deal.

That's a fair point in general, but I think that by the time FB acquired whatsapp the writing was in the wall and I feel that the founders probably knew where things were headed. This is the timeline as I recall it (and from quickly go

For context: this was a blog post from the founders of whatsapp prior to their acquisition by Facebook, where they explained why they had chosen to make whatsapp a paid app.

Added 2012 to the title. Thanks for the call out.

I was talking with a friend about moving off whatsapp due to the TOS update. I was reminiscing that I had originally bought the app because I had read a blog post from the CEO where he explained that charging for the app was the way they en

I think this hits the nail in the head. Lots of comments here seem to dislike option 2 on the basis that it’s a “clever trick” and that those should be avoided for reasons of readability and maintainability. But this second approach would b

You could argue that some of the european countries that the parent claims didn’t react properly also have a long history of autocratic leadership. Another explanation for the difference in reacting to this event from south asian countries

Sure, as a recipient I want to keep a history of everything. But as a sender, I might want sometimes to send a message with some guarantees that it will self destruct after a period of time, mission impossible style.

But why does it matter if a large portion of the users are leveraging a few big providers? The important aspect is that I have the ability of picking a small provider (or even starting my own) and still be able to interact with all of them.

IMHO, I think what's missing is focus. In college, people in the library were there to get stuff done and would leave when they were done or needed a break. In today's workspace it's less likely that everyone is completely fo
