Am I the only one scratching my head about how Zed will eventually monetize their business to satisfy the investors behind their $12M investment?

What’s the risk exposure for startups whose engineers are using Copilot to write proprietary private code?

> Physical UIs can be more intuitive and usable than screens

A thousand times this.

Not related to guitars, but I do a lot of off-roading and the multimedia system is only controlled by the big screen. In bumpy roads it's a trial and error operation to skip a song. Give me my previous/next physical buttons back.

Every time I read this type of post I get amazed at how primitive my use of personal email is.

No folders, no tags, no rules. Just inbox and read status.

Ditched gmail for iCloud a few years ago. Simple, cheap, well integrated.

Before reading this post I had no idea of who Mattias was and had never heard of Oh Dear! or DNS Spy. I'm happy to read about other people's finance during my lunch break, but I question what are the motivations other than cheap marketing reach.

Look from the other side as well. I doubt such transaction moves the needle enough in Oracle’s performance to mean anything to the pension fund’s investment. However, it’s almost an asset for the fund to be able to pursuit such lawsuit.

Great point and I’m afraid you are correct.

I’ve been trying to evangelize non tech friends/family about privacy in general and the reactions are not great.

Congrats. I really like the concept.

Don’t have much time to test now but do you track response/action on feedback in any way?

I wish too. But looks like w3schools display google ads while MDN does not.

Makes me wonder if that’s built into the ranking algo some how.

Yeah, unless the extension is used by a significant portion of the users, this a probably pushing numbers up a bit for networks.

I don’t think it reflects badly on Twitter, it was simply a remark on the state of their blacklisting at the time. I’m sure they could’ve done a lot better if they chose to. Sorry I didn’t expressed myself better.

No. Different strategy.

I worked with a company in the past that abused the twitter api to an unimaginable level from a single IP address.

That was a few years ago but at the time I’m pretty sure their blacklisting was between inexistent and pathetic.
