Super neat! We have a Japanese Cherry Willow, which is a graft. We inherited it with the house and are slowly trying to bring it back to better health. It got pretty unbalanced, but it’s already looking better each year. Grafting is such an interesting thing!

This is really cool. Have you had luck in the past with such projects?

Who dis?

I’m not sure your comment accurately or fairly represents things.

Narcissism is genuine psychological disorder. Your comment doesn’t explain how he would be one of “the most narcissistic people.”

However, you genuinely made me curious about how many people have been contributing and by how much, so I looked it up on GitHub as you mentioned. There have been 159 contributors. The second most being 210 commits. Dan is the number one contributor at over 10,000 commits!

I can’t know his motivations, only what he shares publicly. I don’t follow PixelFed development closely. I don’t know why he’s trying to do so much at once. And I honestly thought Sup was short for Whatsup.

What I do know is what it’s like to slave for thousands of hours, writing millions of lines of code, trying to manage multiple projects with numerous hands in it, ridiculous deadlines, and with customers and users quick to criticize without truly understanding everything entailed in such projects.

Perhaps I’m honestly ignorant and he really is someone to loath. So far though, PixelFed has been a gem that connects me with a lot of beauty. I personally know loathsome humans. There’s plenty more in the news daily.

This Forbes article though? It’s doing something really good for the Fediverse. It’s highlighting the need for funding projects like these. And, yeah, it mentions Dan because he’s the one who got these projects of the ground and has done nearly all the bleeding and sweating for it.

I get the concerns and fears, but I’m not sure there is reason think we’re there yet.

I guess I’m just grateful.

I do. I need it.

Just kidding. I’d be fine with 39 million.

Purple stuff is Jesus juice.

I want that purple stuff.

It’s easy to raise rates when the competition is doing the same and people keep paying for it.

Don’t worry, things will get disrupted eventually and we won’t even remember what Netflix was. And they themselves won’t care because the C-Suite executives will be rolling in millions upon millions which is the end goal for these companies anyway.

So what I hear you saying is that even less people are profiting off of the massive returns. Got it.

Exactly. The content we pay for can’t even be consumed properly. It’s forced to be done within very specific confines. When you think you own media or software, that company simply changes its terms and you’re out money and the content. It’s all ridiculous.

I’ve been cutting services over time and Netflix is on the chopping block now. It gets so tiring when one is trying to do things legally.

Someone has to think of the shareholders. Regular and persistent profits aren’t enough. Must make more moar MOWER! 🤑

Good for Daniel. 💜

Here’s to hoping for more and more attention!

It’s unclear to me how often they need to hook up this elaborate setup. Is it a one-time thing that once set up it’s done? Can their grandmother walk out of range of the iPad and allow it to disconnect? What is the quality difference between typical hearing aids and this airpod capability?

Thanks for sharing the article. There’s a lot of people hurting in so many ways. This boy has it real real hard. It’s so good to see a win and to hear how this little boy is finally experiencing some much needed relief. He has so much hardship ahead of him, but this is a good day. 💜💜💜

And this was how I learned that Video Station is no longer supported by Synology. If you want the updates, you’ll have to uninstall it.

I second.

Printed and posted on my wall. An incredible resource!

I’m surprised I watched the whole video. Haha. Mildly interesting. Maybe slightly more than mild. 😁
