1·3 months agoLove it! I’ve saved a copy, because I think it’ll make future explanations a lot easier. Thanks!
Initially I did yeah, but eventually learned that different people use it differently. So good practice to never assume sarcasm through emojis unless you know the person well
212·4 months agoAs much as I love what they’re doing, tieing an OS to a specific region via name seems like the opposite of Open Source values… Then again, I suppose it could just be forked into a more generalized version

I listened to the whole audiobook in a day - one of the best books I’ve purchased recently. As someone who has been very much into the techno-futurists over the last 15 years, I would suggest this book, along with Manu Saadia’s Trekonomics for a much needed reality-check.
