I was just thinking something along these lines. Telling investors and venture capitalists that your site has "content algorithms" sounds a hell of a lot more professional than "we have ads and subscriptions", even if the algorithms in practice are just as bad, if not worse. What I've learned from my time in the corporate world is that quality of a product does not matter one bit, only how you sell the product marketing strategies and profit projections to investors.

In an ideal world, I would agree with this, but as OP mentioned, the worry is they'll do something similar to what Google did with XMPP. Meta starts adding non-standard features and extensions to activity pub, grows their platform to the point where all other instances are forced to adopt the same standard, then they defederate to close off the ecosystem, making them the only option for many to stay connected. I feel like the only way to not fall into that trap is to either not bother copying whatever proprietary stuff they add right from the start or not federate with them to begin with. If there are alternatives I'm not considering, I would love to hear them.
Correct, flex tape is the answer
Could also have been one of the devs who leaked it. Lots of us keep copies of the source for stuff we work on, so they may have figured it's been long enough that no one would care if it leaked. However, I haven't looked at it yet, but I imagine it would be most problematic legally if it contained proprietary 3rd party code. Leaking that could land someone in hot water.
I never see anyone talk about Tetris Attack, but I wholeheartedly agree. Definitely one of my favorite puzzle games.
I'm still fucking with the apache configs (I fucking hate apache...). As someone with no docker experience whatsoever, are there any getting started guides you would recommend for someone looking to make the switch?
It's a great time to be making that push with Microsoft now talking about putting Windows in the cloud and adding all sorts of AI bloatware to the OS.
Structured in the streets, object oriented in the sheets ๐
These two need to just fuck and get it over with already
