Didn't the Basecamp folks (DHH, et al) start out this way too? I commend these folks, and for their transparency on this topic! If they can grow at the pace they wish, then good on them. Kudos and best of luck!

Agreed! Also, while i think i used it once and then never again (for no real reason), i remember there used to be some scripts, or rather a suite of scripts named, like, Greasemonkey or GreaseScripts or something...that allowed you to bloc

Ok, if there's the need for government to be present where people already are, then - much like the U.S. emergency broadcast system - there would need to be an accommodation that allows government to "interrupt this message".

It is the gov's fault for relying on a service...that lacked a formal legal agreement that favors the gov, and even better that favors the citizens who pay taxes to said gov. But, i am not going to fault the gov folks too much, because

Exactly this! And, the same could be said for other "entities" or "infrastructure", that, when things are fine no kudos; or worse, complaints asking "Why do we have X?", but then whining when something is not i

I actually don't mind OneDrive - its decent enough, and i already pay a small monthly family subscription (because partner and offspring prefer MS Office - bleh). But, the hard block is that all of my daily driver machines are linux, a

I'm with you, that would be cute! But that might be too on the nose...However, green beret or olive cap might be cooler! Either way, yeah, they should name it something related to headwear with a green-ish color.

Excellent points @eropple! The fediverse - or at least many stacks/implementatins/apps - does lack some features of twitter or bluesky, etc.; but, the omissions tend to be by design. So, your points about my assuming that everyon

Oh wow, you just got me hooked on a rabbit hole that i can't get out of - but in a good way! :-) I love these sorts of easter egg-like things! I mean, they're not really easter eggs. But this /uses page, the /now pages,
