I'm currently contracting for a corporate client, and my feeling is that "Miro + Teams" is the corporate starter pack. Freeform looks like Miro or FigJam, and I hate using these types of apps for collaboration. The corporate

I love how they focus on simplicity and are not afraid to cut stuff out. Often times, software projects get more complicated over time. Rails seems to get simpler.

I think you misunderstood what this does. Because Mastodon is federated, when you visit a the profile of a user that's not on your instance, you cannot follow them with the click of a button. Rather, you need to log in to your instance

It's true, and that's how many companies do it. But in fact it is illegal to hire a person as a contractor when they are de facto an employee in many countries...

Not looking to accuse anybody. But why is this thread not on the first page anymore? It was there a second ago, and it's still actively being upvoted and commented on.

Yes I agree it's unfair to complain, and I don't think Ghost is complaining (at least I don't see complaints from what John tweeted). It's more about "giving credit where credit's due" I think...

Why would AGPL have made it a no-go for Substack? Also, it looks like Ghost wants to collab but there's nothing from Substack in the Twitter thread you linekd?

I think it's clear that mainstream media have biases and follow often ill-set incentives. But it's also clear that Musk has been "trolling" (if one wants to go with an optimistic interpretation) by posting, reposting or

Exactly this, and I think this is granted with Hetzner.

Ok, but: "US authorities do not have direct access to your server or its content in the EU. US authorities have to comply with the regulations of the EU legislation.". So, because Hetzner is not owned by a US company, stuff like t
