Companies frequently make business decisions that go against what they "believe" in order to maximize revenue.

It's interesting that the article doesn't seem to even take into consideration that the housing market has made it impossible for people to have storage at home. It's not a religion of story, it's desperation.

This is exactly what I came here to comment. Thank you.

Who do they think they are? The United States?

I don't think I know anyone running minio anymore. It's sad how they destroyed themselves, but that's the way it goes.

People who work in tech aren't as interested in the tech as they are in the money.

What a funny headline. It has virtually nothing to do with the actual content of the article.

Nice to see someone drinking the Kool aid

It's shocking how once again the number one contributing factor to success is being born to parents who support you for your whole life.

Interesting read. I think I have an answer for why no one seems to remember them. They aren't white men.

This is really sad. What a dynamic man to lose so early. Working with him at GigaOM as an analyst was educational and fun.

It's an announcement that someday something may be accomplished.

This too shall be enshittified

I loved my n95.

Old problems are new again.

Maybe the United States can learn something from this

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

Thank you for sharing this. It is sad that Google has by now destroyed every reason I wanted to run Android. Bye-bye.

Haven't we known this for years? There's been thorough documentation of the violation of privacy in period tracking apps as far back as 2021. It's even been written about when it comes to Meta.

Reminds me of when I kept my apartment warm with Breaking Point and Ixia load generators testing hardware.

TIL: there are still people out there who find value in x even though when I log in my feed is just hatred and false info.

I feel like maybe you're headed towards this https://youtu.be/K9a2_3XObNI?si=vkP_utLfo3M0LFGO

It's an old story. Is anyone really shocked that they rode the community up and then stripped all value ahead of the open source product, raised the price of the "Enterprise" product, and then destroyed the open source product?

The strangest thing I remember about my ti-99 was that I used to run software off of cassette tape. It was a good way to get games.

I used to work in a lab and we set up all 256 machines with the screensaver for when they weren't running tasks. It was fun to walk though there and think we were "helping".

Great stuff! Definitely helpful for working with texts and LLMs.
