anthropodie··on Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
For me, if I were at beginning of my career I would have definitely joined Twitter. Because I have to work harder, compete harder, learn faster just to save my job. I think that sort of culture would make you sharp than others in your field very early in your career.

Then when you go and work at company like stripe, its easy.

No they dont have managers or a separte QA team. 30 is their entire tech team which handles everything.

They are largest broker so others might be sales, legal, marketting, hr guys

Hell I don't like what Elon does most of the times but you have to admit he did built successful companies from ground up in fields no one was even looking into.

Twitter might succeed or it might fail but Twitter in its current form both as a company and social media paltform was bad.

People might choose based on their preferences:

You want stability? Join stripe

You want to be sharp? Join Twitter

That option is kind of dormant in app I think and gets enabled from backend. I updated two phones at same time around a month ago and one of them did not have that option until 2-3days back.

anthropodie··on Ex-Reddit CEO on Twitter moderation
I wouldn't be surprised if future generations looked at these few decades and wondered "crazy times". You are right this is new and it would take decades before we master this new "space".

I agree people are not rotten to the core but we keep blaming system and thus get rid of any personal accountability. Both are important. But so far it seems people have forgotten "looking at mirror". Everyone keeps blaming everyone else. So many conflicts would automatically get diffused if people looked within. Nobody wants to do that because it's hard. Blaming others and system is easy. Platforms providing healthy environment is equally important to personal accountability.

Also comparing our social media squabbles to food security is not right imho.

anthropodie··on Ask HN: How would you design an alternative Twitter
I said this in another Twitter thread and I will say it again

Here's an idea: stop trying to fix social media and instead try to connect with people in real life and we as a society might be happy again

anthropodie··on WriteFreely: Open source federated microblogging platform
> you can even run it on a Raspberry Pi!

Here in India so many of us want to do this but almost everyone is behind CGNAT. I know there are solutions that exist like cloudflare tunnels but I just wish I could host at home without any third party.

anthropodie··on Dear JetBrains, Don't mess with your UI
I love Jebrains IDEs. They can save you lot of time. For example, VSCode does not even come close to Jetbrains git branch comparison. It's insanely good. I think a proper IDE is always better than adding 10s of extension to get similar functionality from VScode. Even then it does not compare to the beast that is Jetbrains IDE.

Jetbrains should keep working on their own thing instead of trying to change because of someone else. This holds true for people as well.

Can someone ELI5 what are implications of this? AFAIK GRBs are threatening if directed at Earth. And now they are detecting it?
anthropodie··on Canonical shows ads in the Ubuntu CLI
That is not true. I have configured /home on Debian.
anthropodie··on Canonical shows ads in the Ubuntu CLI
By clean setup I mean, reinstalling /

/home is kept intact. After installation of apps on new setup I don't even have to configure them most of times because they can find their config directories in /home/myuser/

anthropodie··on Canonical shows ads in the Ubuntu CLI
Like others recommendations here, I also switched with fresh installation of Debian. If you don't do this you would end up with broken system and also you would not see what all debian has to offer.
anthropodie··on Canonical shows ads in the Ubuntu CLI
Moved to debian after using Ubuntu for a decade and I am not looking back. But I think Ubuntu was necessary for me to see beauty of Debian.

I get these exact nightmares. I wonder how common is this.

anthropodie··on Nokia’s Burning Platform Memo (2011)
> They thought they couldn't build hardware good enough to compete with other Android makers,

But that is so wrong. Hardware was their strength. They could've sticked to what they knew best and over time do what's necessary.

anthropodie··on An extrasolar world covered in water?
Only planet with Life. I sometimes wish people ponder on that for some time. Maybe they will have a new found respect for this planet like I did. Took me a while but when I fully grasped the concept of Life few years back and read and saw all the life less rocks in our solar system it changed the way I look at things. Still amazes me when I think about it.
