In what world did you see this? At least here in Europe the main conversation about Social Media has been that it shouldn't be operated by big tech companies. We've always viewed Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, and so on. Bas

This seems very misinformed and I would like to see a source on it. In many European countries it's fairly easy to fire people. I can use Denmark as an example as this is where I'm from, here you can fire anyone if their position

I think it has been time to leave the massive American (and now the Chinese one too) "tech" companies for a while. So in a sense, it's great that Elon has shown the world the existence of Mastodon and the ActivityPub beneath

It's a good question, and it's frankly so complicated that I'm not sure I can explain it. Basically own capital is the operational capital that is on your company's books that your company can budget and spend. Investor

I mostly write Typescript these days, and being lazy, I'll just quote wikipedia, but I'd much rather debug: const result = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] .filter(n => n % 2 === 0) .map(a => a * 10) .reduce((

There is a Danish scientist called Morten Münster who's done research on behavioural science. He's written a book for management that's gotten very popular in my country, and this is how I became acquainted with it back when

Considering the way it works, where your "twitter handle" is defined by the server, and I assume thus locked to it, I'd probably consider running my own instance if I wanted to use it for something serious. I actually do thin

I think it depends on the circumstances and what you hope to get out of it. If my CEO said something that was technically wrong, I'm not sure I'd even reach out to them in private unless it was actually important. They run the com

It works on all of us, doesn't it? I know I clicked this article because it was on page 2 of HN and not really because it was something that I actually wanted to read. I know it's not exactly the same as someone posting a picture

Maybe I'm ignorant but I still don't really understand it. There is a picture of some protest with someone wielding an actual Nazi flag... Which is pretty fucked up, but it's also sort of hilarious to see it next to someone w

I think he makes some good points, especially about how a lot of things really should be libraries. I'm also not sure I really understand the semantics of it all though. Because what is a color microservice? Something you call to get a

The CRA is intended to protect the EU from pooling all its critical eggs in too few baskets, especially if those baskets are not EU based companies. I'm not sure what duplex does, but I'll use AWS or Azure as an example. This is w

Your e-mail address isn't tied to a server. It can be, but it doesn't have to be. I've had many e-mail services without changing my e-mail address. I can use g-suite, fastmail, outlook for business and a range of other things

I worked in digitalisation in the Danish public sector for a decade. It was at municipality level, but I did some work on the national strategies, and I'm sometimes just dumbfounded with how HN reacts to these sort of things. Of course

You would be able to change servers and keep your username. Mastodon isn't really decentralised, it's just twitter with more twitter companies. SoMe should be email based, and servers should just be relays. That way you could also

I think it has more to do with the way Mastodon decentralised and I imagine the people who figure out to do e-mail as a platform first, will be the next twitter. The big issue with Mastodon is that your "twitter handle" depends on

I sort of see it the other way around. To me Google is an advertisement company first, and if you use Google products then you know your privacy data is how you pay for those products. With Apple and Microsoft you're paying for the pro
