the expectation would be a better solution will surface in reference to streaming.. the same way streaming was a solution to cable.

What would that look like though? The current streaming model was pretty easy to predict ~15 years ago with the advent of online video streaming in general, especially mainstream forms of it such as YouTube. I have a hard time imagining how any other business model for distributing video content would look like, but then again I don't have a very entrepreneurial mind.

...and those who didn't expect a ternary joke!

You're partly right. The implementation of government regulation is a problem. Lawmakers are, for the most part, absolutely incompetent when it comes to making effective regulation.

Same thing happened on Reddit, honestly.

Don't forget that he inflicted the blight that is JavaScript upon the world.

git restore is a pretty new command AFAIK. Those of us who learned git before its existence have probably stuck to the old ways of git reset --hard.

It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse.

That's a super optimistic viewpoint. Handling that kind of stuff is actually a pretty challenging technical problem. Reddit themselves wrote a nice technical blog post about the how they built r/place and the challenges associated with it. Dealing with synchronization issues across federated instances makes the problem quite a bit more difficult.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Python is strongly typed. What is is is dynamically typed, also known as "duck typing".

I second this, incredible product all around. Even better, they recently changed the free tier from allowing 20 devices to 100. An upgraded free tier is not something you see often.

Bro, "thread" has been used in a forum context since online forums were created, way before Meta's existence.

Very mixed feelings on GitHub's recent approaches to security. Tighter security measures are great, but deprecating password authentication on git operations seems obtuse to me. What if I want to push a change from a machine that's not mine and doesn't have my registered SSH key on it? I don't have a Yubikey or anything similar nor do I intend to get one in the foreseeable future.

If you look carefully at Meta's actions in the last few years, you'll notice they're slowly stepping away from the Facebook brand and product. I suspect that they no longer internally consider Facebook to be their main product, giving way for Instagram, which at the moment is a lot more popular and despite the obvious association doesn't have a tainted name the same way Facebook does.
