Couple of unsolicited comments: first is that on mobile, the featured badge sits on top of the right facing arrow. Second is that the bubble level seems to be upside down? The bubble sinks rather than floats at least on my pixel
Pets.com buys 8M sq feet of datacenter realestate in a deal with Oracle's liquidators, which is reported to include fitting the racks with hamster wheels and feeders. Sets sights on 400B IPO
We use pocketbase for a lot of our internal LoB apps and it's been bulletproof. Saved us a lot of time and money.
I'm a control freak and I like well defined endpoints with well defined performance characteristics, so the expressiveness of the API is in my mind a drawback for anything public facing, but it's undeniably a great experience on the front end, and if you design your tables with the API and filters in mind you can get to a good place.
Overposting is another thing to be aware of when the db is so ergonomically shaped to the front end
It works, though if you need auth/authz you'll probably want to add some middleware to get a cookie flow working instead of the jwt approach PB uses by default.
If I remember right, essentially you set the cookie on login and on auth refresh and pull it out and into the auth header on all incoming requests.
A trillion in a money market fund @ 5% is 50B/year.
Over the course of a few years (so as to not drive up the price of politicians too quickly) one could buy the top N politicians from most countries. From there on out your options are many.
After a decade or so you can probably have your trillion back.
I really do like this answer, but it would seem to have the property of being anti-inductive in that the cost for current politicians is so low because nobody is doing it at scale but if someone did that would force other people to ... well, it's an interesting thought experiment at least!
On most platforms if a post's author replies to a reply, that will boost it above others. Admittedly I don't use mastodon and can't spot how many replies that post actually received (I see 25 boosts, 0 quotes, 21 favourites, but not the number of replies/comments)
Goes to show the fundamental UX design flaws of Mastodon and Twitter. If it were on Hacker News or Reddit it would be instantly downvoted. Even if the OP replied to the comment, it would still be buried. But because of how Mastodon and Twitter are designed, if the OP replies it will get amplified.
We can block accounts from grapheneos.social to stop their posts being shared by our instance. If they posted a link to harassment content, all their replies and the replies to those in the linked page would be gone. Our chat rooms have a much lower bar for bans because it's disruptive for everyone using it. There's currently someone raiding our Matrix chat rooms spamming images including CSAM because they're angry we banned them for their harmful behavior in our rooms. Our moderation team turned on the automation for removing this which previously led to someone escalating to a swatting attack when they couldn't spam gore and CSAM anymore. It's best not to ban people if they're not really causing any harm because we have enough people targeting us with libel, harassment and even violence already.
