Ah, it really wouldn't be HN without baselessly accusing other posters you disagree with.

Some of the most profitable ventures this century have been objectively illegal, but when you know you won't go to prison for violating the law, why would you care to follow it?

MVNOs are like second or third-tier citizens on mobile carriers, why would Apple hand a lever like that to, say, AT&T?

Sure, but why post a tutorial of how to spin this up in GCP instead of...productizing it in GCP?

It seems utterly absurd to me that anybody should be able to issue a copyright claim on a collection of colors and fonts. Copyrights are issued to logos and slogans, not design systems.

No questions, but a heartfelt thank you. I've used wire for years and plan to continue doing so. :)

They don't "have" to be any of those things. People are not consistently rational actors, as evidenced by your continued advocacy for Emacs.

The author (and myself, coincidentally) used to work at WP Engine. I still have friends there, I could still describe their infrastructure if I had to. How am I not to interpret myself as "affiliated?"

This is a ludicrous paranoid screed that, thanks to the nature of Mastodon, will not be on the live internet in a decade's time.

I think other languages cause folks to understand JSON responses as a big bag of keys and values, which have many convenient ways of being represented in those languages. When you get to Go and you want to parse a JSON response, it has to be a well-defined thing that you understand ahead of time, but I also think you adapt when doing this more than once in Go.

Does FB's list of unbannable accounts include a list of slurs they're allowed to say on the platform?
