I'd say that if you're trying to find the Mint/Ubuntu/Zorin/elementary of BSD, then it's not really for you. The BSD ecosystem isn't really driven by ease of use, today they're more interested in various niches - hardware appliances, OS research, etc.

If you're curious about what unix is and what a bsd is, I would recommend netbsd or openbsd in a vm.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Tumblr allowing adult content would probably get it removed from app stores. Only a few major apps get away with it, and when they're gone, they're gone.

> Why does Google currently pays Apple then?

Because Apple knows how to play hardball.

> Why choose Google if they don't benefit from it?

They benefit about $20B a year.

I didn't say authority, and I didn't say trust blindly. I just said I'd trust someone with baseline qualifications over a random (presumably unqualified) person. lmao

> Technically an infectious disease expert but I don’t particularly care what they have to say about Covid over a random person on the street either.

I would absolutely care more what they had to say over the rando, especially if they prefaced it with their level experience.

For what it's worth, you should add openid/google/apple/etc auth. Registration friction is going to be one of the hardest things you face, especially on mobile, which is where a lot of people are these days.

Yes, pretty much. Anyone who's run a community or been involved in one with more than a few hundred people understands that one of your most important jobs is working with community members to implement unpopular policies - which is to say, people will take their medicine if you make a good case that it'll help them!

I don't even think he's doing it on purpose, I think he's completely in over his head.

Someone referred to Elon as "speedrunning being a forum moderator", or "running a Lowtax" and yeah, so far.
