It’s been way too long since I have gotten to see Mehdi Medjaoui on a stage and asking questions.

(Feel free to mute me or this hashtag for the next 2 days.)

Over the last several years, I've chatted with a significant number of founders building novel "fund open source" ideas, and a lot of my own thinking and design on the subject as CEO and CPO of npm, Inc., and as a GitHub employee for close to 2 years after selling npm. In fact, if npm hadn't needed financial backing so desperately in 2014, I would have focused on some kind of OSS sustainability product instead.
I would love to see literally ANY of them succeed. But I'm not very optimistic. 🧵

@plastisphere @jameswakibia @donmelton All true, but does not negate my points. Using less single-use plastic should be the goal.

Until then, trash-to-electricity production is a good form of recycling. Better for plastic to be used for electricity than in a landfill or ocean, which is where most plastic sent for recycling ends up.

If you use @fastmail and want a Calendly-like meeting scheduler, simplymeet.me/ seems good and is free for personal use.

Calendly not supporting CalDAV is quite a limitation.

@jameswakibia @donmelton The problem, however, is that DRS for plastic is not working in the West. Plastic recycling is a lie (Google it).

The better solutions are to mandate glass or aluminum, use plant-based plastic when necessary, and burn plastic to make electricity.

Twitter announced it is shutting down Revue, the email newsletter service I use, on 2023-01-18.

I need to find a new inexpensive way of sending mass email.

Theoretically, there's a way to avoid the app store chokepoint: web apps.
...
A company that wants to sell stuff without paying the app tax could hypothetically deliver a web app that the user could download and install via their browser.
...
But you can't have a web app without a web-app-compatible browser, and you can't get a web-app-compatible browser in Apple's App Store.

Apple reportedly is preparing to allow third-party app stores on the iPhone—but only in the EU.

Government regulation works.

Unpopular opinion :

Universal Health Care is a more modern, revolutionnary and life changing invention than any metaverse / crypto / web3 bullshit you can think of.

Major telecom companies are demanding that online content providers pay for their services to be accessed on the network of providers.

💸It'd be paying twice for the same data.

Are there stories of people being tortured by demons and needing "god's" help in religions other than Christianity?

(My husband is watching A&E Psychic Kids while I'm coding on the couch.)
