I don't get it. I checked out the website, is this just a discord clone? Maybe with frontend customization? I actually can't tell what this is from your website.

Building projects, especially larger ones, has not been solely about writing code. I don't see how anything you are saying is a bad thing at all. Drive-by PRs and similar practices are bad. A high barrier is a feature, not a bug.

Always in agreement to such initiatives. I do think a barrier to adoption is the space of possibilities is quite large and generally not well organized around a specific proposal or mandate, so opposition to these initiatives can pick them apart of details. Especially since opposition is usually much more engaged in local governance.

It's somewhat complicated to understand, but I think this is an opportunity for strong communicators to present to a public that is much more receptive toward these ideas.

> I don't want to pay taxes that go to social programs

This is such awild thing to say. What do you think the point of society is? Also, there is no way you "Totally agree" if at the same time you are saying this.

Also if you understand the cost of incarceration and the negative social ills of poverty, then being against social programs, broadly, makes no sense.

Yeah I am really not speaking in terms of a risk for all end users, just those who may rely on turso as a company. To assume a startup, no matter how well funded, will survive is naive. There are historically a lot of issues with this business model. This is not a certain failure, but we cannot ignore the challenges companies in a similar space have faced.

I don't understand you reply here. Database startups have always had the consistent issue of cloud providers providing managed solutions without contributing back. It is why many moved to or use the AGPLv3 and why there was the whole SSPL controversy in the first place. Running a successful open source database startup is not trivial. None of this applies to SQLite.

Think of all the lessons you have learned in life, and think of all the ways in which you haven't followed them to a tee. Now multiple that by the size of your organization. Don't overstress over things like this, it will waste your time and energy. Learn what you can improve and make attempts at what is unknown to you. Try continuously.

I am personally not a very big fan of Spotify for a variety of reasons, I would not be against them losing this lawsuit. Especially with their moves toward AI, they seem to have very little respect for this media they claim to be defending.

The MIT licensing makes this even less trustworthy. I can image a major cloud or fly.io just proprietary forking them as a service, as cloud providers have done for years.

I notice the biggest issue with these types of organizational visions is that if you are not in fairly high leadership, it doesn't go very far. You really need buy-in and nearly everyone has an opinion on this type of stuff, so you end up competing on "the best way to not waste people's time."

Luckily if you lead a team, something like a standup, you basically have full control over, but I think the bigger issue is that orgs don't respect team leadership very much and end up stepping over systems like this for a variety of really uncoordinated reasons.

Oh you're arbing! I see now. Makes sense, seems like it could be useful if you have a rock solid DX.

Perfect example of "Why the mids beefin?"

I can't be the only one tired of the consistent relitigation of OpenAI corporate structure and funding, because like a lot of things with AI, generally it doesn't matter who you think is legally correct. We are in an environment in which non of this is actually being scrutinized under it's legal merit, but rather, personal and geopolitical.

But, generally I assume the idea is about building a case for when the dust settles, rather than looking for something to happen now.

Would you just be... subsidizing low volume users? I am saying this isn't like a new problem in the grand scheme of things. hopefully I am not being too negative, do you have a site or something to learn more? It's not clear how you can have better token economics to provide me or someone else better token economics, rather than just burning more money lol.

Bruh, I'm not from SV lol. I just don't work at massive orgs.
