Completely off topic but the title made me wonder if there’s any subscription service that cancels you if you don’t use it? Not quite usage based billing - plans that cancel (or pause) without use? I can’t think of any - terrible business model of course

> the company doesn't care about community and only cares about profit.

There are plenty of examples of VC funded companies that care about community & don't "only care about profit". Bluesky is a good one (literally a community / social platform). That's such a black & white take it baffles me.

> Taking VC is an albatross that means a large portion of devs will never trust you or use your services

A "large portion of devs" (the majority) use so many VC funded services? Probably _most_ services devs use are VC funded. GitHub itself - was VC funded.

You can have an anti-VC opinion but you have to also live in reality.

Unrelated; what does "mendral" mean? It's a very... unmemorable word

We have already found out, Waymo is SAE Level 4, Tesla is SAE Level 2

I own a Tesla (and subscribe to "FSD", >70% of my miles are FSD without issue). As it stands though, Waymo is by every metric objectively better at "autonomous driving".

I would also love to see every car brand have full autonomous driving. It seems like you think you must be in one camp or another, and that one has to "beat" the other - but that's not true. Both can be successful - wouldn't that be a great world?

Your original post was very public under a very well known brand - you have no expectation of privacy after that. People are going to respond to you publicly.

I love it. The UX is terrible but the visualization is very "outside the box". Experiments like this are important on the road to finding novel interfaces. Not everything has to look like a v0 shadcn app. Thank you for sharing!

What exactly is a vaccine skeptic - in your opinion? What are you skeptical of?

> IMO Playnite is a behemot and it's very hard to overtake it

Why do you need to overtake it? Playnite is open source, you could contribute to it to make it better.

Both - but primary the cloud offering. The main author (https://x.com/heyandras) is pretty open about the project revenue its sources. If I remember correctly they're at about 10k MRR mostly from Coolify Cloud.

Edit: Latest "post" (xeet?) https://mobile.x.com/heyandras/status/1901894087604916396 I could find about revenue

I think trained knowledge is less and less important - as these multi-modal models have the ability to search the web and have much larger context windows.

What does CQ2 mean? It's not an easy name to remember
