@joeo10 fwiw, wasn't trying to drag you for linking it or anything, just expressing my horror after seeing way more armchair venture capitalist takes in there than I'd braced myself for ;-)
@santiago@cstross@aral@TomSwirly@johnbierce I've been very tempted to give https://kagi.com - a paid search engine - a try after skimming through their FAQ and philosophy and such. Seems weird to pay for it, but given how bad the alternatives have become and that the "free" services model is how we've dug our global vc hell pit in the first place... I've spent more money on less useful things 🤷♀️
@chargrille How normal is it in these sorts of letters to not actually reference specific violations or things that Threads should stop doing? Because as far as I could tell skimming it earlier, the only thing they actually call out is that the app looks like Twitter, and right now you could field a baseball team with apps that look like Twitter.
It struck me as extremely vague, but then I don't read or write letters like these for a living
I am but a humble code farmer. Work-wise, it's a bit dull. When I have the energy for non-work tech, it's probably in some obscure Lisp dialect, especially tinkering on/with, and occasionally contributing to, #fennelMy favorite covid-times pastime has been diving into weird/funky/experimental music from music scenes I haven't explored yet. If you recommend me an album, I'll give it a listen!...I should probably fill this out properly at some point. I end up focusing on boring stuff when I have to write an intro like this. But hey, if you're still reading this, you made it to the end! Congrats!
