I just noticed WP.com Business tier exists recently. It’s a no-brain, indeed. On Thursday I signed with you guys and planning to move my site today. (Wish me luck!) Moving will save me ~90% of what I was paying for a managed VPS.

I hope they improve the platform. Tumblr is such a nice place with a cool atmosphere, but I hardly can justify using it (working in a tech news outlet) when there are so many rival platforms with way more people to talk to.

Get a second hand phone with great LineageOS and give it a shot. It’s phenomenal how better a, let’s say, Motorola phone gets when you replace pre-installed Android with Google-free LineageOS one.

Agreed. I just think some of your recommendations, such as Novos Baianos, Gilberto Gil, and Maria Bethânia, aren't exactly bossa nova singers. I’d recommend João Gilberto (who was married with Astrud) and Miúcha. Elis Regina has an as

There's a brand in Brazil, called Kuba[1], selling a self-repairable, upgradable headphones called Disco for a while now. Originally wired, they're releasing a Bluetooth version and old models are upgradable to the new wireless pr

I guess I didn't. An alternative, better reasoning is that, right now, right wing media has more untrustworthy outlets than left.

Your criticism of Wikipedia relies on it deprecating sources such as Breitbart? This seems like a non-issue for me — a propaganda outlet that really shouldn't be taken serious by anyone.

Not sure if it's the same issue, but undo (and redo) in Notepad was so frustratingly unstable. Maybe the fixed that already (my last Windows was the 8.1).

Less than 1% of European iPhone users have an Apple Watch, or am I misreading something? I really thought this percentage was bigger in such a rich place.

As if high level growth could be perpetual. Capitalism expectations are unachievable by default and yet people use them as an excuse for shit decisions and everybody are supposed to accept this craziness as “rational”.

Except Ghost isn't free, and I doubt most of Substack newsletters (I mean those from amateurs writers, not the pros that make a living off them) would be willing to pay. That's where the destructions will happen.

Author here. One thing I think Substack helps a lot, and that I didn't mention in the article, is on its network effects. I started this blog last year, got it featured on HN home page a few times, but my own newsletter[1] (not hosted
