If bigger/faster/better isn't the goal of the fediverse, then let's stop talking about it right now. All this incoming hype is about Elon and Twitter. Let's agree to stop talking about it. And especiallyt the fed

Yes, I'm sure someone like Selena Gomez is going to get her team to self hosting from her EC2 instance /s The "famous people" care about getting their posts to fans. If you're able to convince and migrate hundreds

The self-hosting argument shows how out of touch fediverse developers are. Try explaining to the influencer celeb why they should self-host. In fact, just try explaining to them they need to pick a mastodon instance, any instance. "i

Definitely agree with this. Just explaining the fediverse to the masses is a huge challenge. It's like when Diaspora launched. They publicly had lofty statements about returning data ownership to the masses, replacing Facebook, &quot

I like the interface on RT better than Darktable, but man, RT is dog slow on a Mac. I have a pretty beefy iMac, but scrolling through photos is just too slow. Darktable's noticeably better in that, but honestly, there's some qui

I think it's mostly already there, but your big, enterprise houses were late getting the memo. About 12 years ago, I switched to a DE role/title and held it ever since. I worked in a variety of startups doing DE - moving data fr

My last job was far less data than yours (more like 100's of GB/day), and it wasn't surprising it handled it with ease. I love that DB so much. So performant, and far easier to admin than Cassandra.

As an outsider, this debate has been entertaining for me. This is happening in online tournaments with money at stake. Is it just me, or are you basically just begging for some sort of shenanigans to occur?

Holding on to the grievance saved me a lot of hassle last year, so I'm doing just fine. Maybe if you weren't so sanctimonious, you'd be more likable?

Assuming profitability is even a problem, if $20M in revenue is coming from just 3 devs, the driving cost of the company isn't the tech. It's other parts of the company. That would be be another red flag against the leadership.
