Well If I demo a product and clearly see it's not fit for my org, what more is there to talk about ? There are things that you can't really covey good in text or voice communications, but usually quick to see on the demo.

No targeted ads are worse in several ways. 1.) It's one of the main reason why surveillance capitalism is so widespread. Some of the worst things that came out of tech in past 20 years are directly or indirectly connected to "ta

If I am on my pc with a mouse getting to top is either a click or button combo away, so this popping up stuff is a net loss. Its even worse on the phones where you sometimes get header plus some commercial and maybe a cookie banner, interac

That's what peeked my interest in crypto in the first place, and is also the reason I am no longer on that bandwagon. Because you don't really own it in web3 either. Until normal people get comfortable with self hosting their o

A few, that i liked recently are monster hunter world and rise. Is more of an action rpg, but its also has very satisfying crafting system. They have a lot of DLC's but all of them are just gestures and skins for your various npcs.

Doesn't work on all zip files I receive. Doesn't support the bz2 and other that are quite frequent in my environment. I haven't tested it, but my perception is that it's slower when there are a lot of small files.

I have high hopes for Framework. They seem to be nailing it for now. Could see them experimenting with other form factors. Also if they succeed other people will try to copy them.

It has some value. But if it goes away, there are other Apps that work similary. Maybe not as slick, or have all the features, but they have most of them. Hell even if whole App messenger ecosystem would go away, people could go back to SMS

The nice bit about this is, that you can deploy the same thing everywhere. on other bare metals, or on AWS, azure, ... As long as you have database backup, git code, and build-scripts. I run something similar (although smaller). My disast
