2025 prediction: Trump will keep TikTok alive and Elon will buy it even though China will not allow the actual algorithm/codebase to be sold

In the first 15 years of my career as a software developer, I worked in a single person office with a door and a window

@stroughtonsmith I'm an open source dev myself and my initial take is that forcing companies to make private APIs public is government overreach. I want my SoundCore headphones not to suck compared to Apple ear pods, but that is not free and who should bear the cost?

I got my new jab and my flu jab and I recommend you do the same. The new COVID variant symptoms include vomiting and the intestinal D word, not pleasant

So proud of my boy Linus https://youtu.be/_wXh9EFqAQE?si=lOlp2atHUNeqiipv
