The trouble with relying on each community to self-host is that it’s unlikely to ever make it to the masses that way. Self-hosting is a significant barrier.

I don’t think Nostr can take on Discord. A big part of Discord is the voice chat channels, which, as far as I know, Nostr just isn’t built for.

He was CEO briefly, until the controversy over his appointment got loud enough. It makes sense he would’ve been paid the most that year, especially with the golden parachute CEOs get when they leave.

His appointment remains one of the most damaging events in Mozilla’s history, as it led to the resignation of multiple prior leaders (including previous CEOs). Making him CEO might’ve been Mitch Baker’s worst decision as chairwoman.

If only there were a search index I thought was still good.

Mojeek (UK-based) is trying. I wasn’t super impressed by their index yet, though.

If you look at the kwebkitpart commits, it looks like it’s been nothing but localization for years.

I would love to have a color epaper display option on a machine like this.

They weren’t trying to generate electricity in this experiment. They were trying to sustain a reaction. As you said in another comment, they are different problems.

Converting heat to electricity is a problem we already understand pretty well since we’ve been doing it basically the same way since the first power plant fired up. Sustaining a fusion reaction is a problem we’ve barely started figuring out.
