So, your definition of “different” is someone who uses Big Tech social networks?

If your quality of life depends on big tech then I suspect your life is of low quality in the first place.

It seems nothing groundbreaking. A router, some middleware and websockets.

Also, nim is a mess. Very poorly designed language. I tried it a couple of years ago and was repelled by its syntax and attempts to solve every single problem for you.

If you’re concerned about security, you wouldn’t use Dropbox in the first place. Use mega.nz instead.

Nim is just right down ugly and borrowed the worst from Pascal and Python. The multi-paradigm concept is a mess. Tried it a couple of years ago and moved on to better, more simple tools.

Exactly my thoughts on this as well. The brain and skill drain has reached levels of completely unethical. If someone did the same to America during the great depression 1920-1930, the U.S. would be a shithole country today.

They probably had worked on this feature for some time and are using the current times as an opportunity to introduce it. It's hard to believe they had the capacity to react to the traffic increase and develop a sharp new feature in less than a week.

I will completely disagree with the above statement and claim that The Atlantic were biased and lacking real statistical data in their reporting.

Got excited for a moment, then I read the "About" section and closed my browser tab at "crypto decentralized".

Great effort, though these kind of tools are useless unless you can include senators’ spouses and family </sarcasm>

Like most Hollywood productions, TikTok wants to show the healthy and the beautiful over the sickly and the ugly. This is purely driven by customer demand. The good news is that 1) TikTok a private enterprise and it can set its own rules and 2) it's in China so it won't be vulnerable to public shaming and social pressure to bend its business decisions to please fringe groups.

How is this building $89k and not $8.9M?
