this is an ever-green take that I will continue to shout from the rooftops until anyone at all hears me

most businesses have misaligned incentives with you. so go support the ones that choose to align - it will benefit both of you in the long run.

[PopFlash @popflashsite]

lately we've had a huge influx of new players coming to popflash who just expect it to be free.

we need to adjust our psychology if we want beautiful experiences to exist.

free means YOU are the product, it means the platforms WILL NOT survive.

at popflash we charge a nominal fee and that keeps us afloat. it means we get to keep doing this for as long as you keep supporting it.

we don't sell your data, we don't invade your privacy, and we don't show you advertisements.

we charge you a fee and you get the platform. that's it. end of transaction.

@mitchellh thanks for building such a great suite of tools, & being a model OSS project.

[Daniel Saewitz @switz213]

@mitchellh sorry to bump a ghostty issue on twitter, but this has been broken (regression) for a few months without any official confirmation. seems to be pretty universal based on the comments.

there's a proposed fix, but it could use a maintainers eye.

Why are universities being run like hedge funds? Might they have too much capital?

Almost a decade ago, Scott Wilson, the chief investment officer at Washington University in St. Louis, placed about $50 million of the school’s money in SpaceX. https://t.co/48K5TPqJJL

You don’t have to continue to raise money to create a profitable business. Kudos to the team

turbopuffer crossed $100M run-rate in March. 19mo after $1M. Profitable & <$1M raised.

Being incredibly wealthy and not living where you’d ideally want to live because of some percentage points is so fucking stupid

How did SF turn into a hyper capitalist environment whereas nyc is largely culture+arts based

[Vega Shah @dr_alphalyrae]

but seriously has anyone in the bay area figured out how to make net new, non-transactional friendships as an adult?

@dok2001 Ultimately serverless is the wrong paradigm for any serious application. It’s more useful for scale to zero than infinite scale.

Unbounded cost is just an insane footgun when the alternative is fixed cost, degraded performance.
