Lolol. Would delete my comment if I could. Ah, well, I still wish them well. :D

Wow, looks like I am not doing that. oxide.host is an entirely different company.

Uh no I just rent a box from them.

I must admit that I am much more unsophisticated than this, and yet I "invested" in Oxide (by running my own projects off Oxide servers), and it is gratifying to see them continue to grow. My (naive) assessment: (a) agreed with Cantrill's opinions on software, (b) liked his willingness to put himself out there, and (c) felt the eng blogs showed a high level of (socio-)technical ability.

I think for the internet to break out of walled gardens, high-quality independent datacenters need to exist -- nobody wants to manage their own datacenters, and nobody wants to rely on Google/Amazon/Microsoft's platforms or (even worse) business products. I hope this continues.

Thankfully they can still work from home the other two days.

How much does developer happiness really play a role?

Probably significant in terms of speed of development, time spent maintenance projects, etc

> which $0.35 gasket to replace

I’m sorry, but can it actually do that??

There’s a place for DRM and similar protections, I don’t think they’re going anywhere.

But I’m still hopeful that phone, email, web, voip, videochat, photo and video editing, location, maps, document sync, etc, will one day work seamlessly on FOSS devices.

I do think that the apps will have to be recreated as FOSS, existing apps will always be antagonistic because they get a lot of revenue from being able to control how/when/where the software is run.

Morbidly curious what would actually happen in this scenario.

What are they going to do, talk at us?

How are the computers so bad?? I don't know why, but it's personally embarrassing to me as a developer.

Many parts of the elephant: no motivation to work on hard things without friends, professors, campus, well-paying jobs, and high-status contacts.

Would be interesting to see MOOCs on daily stuff: cooking, gardening, cleaning & organizing, style, hospitality.

Or MOOCs around hobbies: amateur radio, photography, sketching, watercolor, dance, music. Here there’s potential for the tech to meet users halfway.

A good post, I like the direction and will follow bottoms-up ranking design with interest. :)

Similarly feelings with the ML-based code writing tools. Where's the help with debugging??
