Indeed, but it didn't stop them from trying to use cats. Thankfully it failed spectacularly while costing a certain 3 letter agency many millions of dollars in the 60s.
This makes me feel better about the 100-200 tabs I have perpetually open.

I'd rather ~~meet~~ sexually pursue Nikola Tesla
Stretched too thin is an understatement.
Between Pixelfed, Sup, Loops, FediDB, fediverse.info, PubKit, all that comes with developing those, his main job, and whatever else he has cooking, I don't like being so heavily dependent on the whims of one dev. I have mad respect for him and everything he has done, but this situation is definitely limiting the growth of the platforms, contributions to those platforms, and his general decision making on what to develop and how to prioritize.
I try to be optimistic because in the end what he's doing is a net positive, but we're going to need more than one man's raw coding talent. That's why although I'm exited for Loops, I'm tempering my expectations and expecting a cap on the popularity and adoption of Loops like with Pixelfed unless something changes.
It will also come with an open source "For You" algorithm. I've been wishing the fediverse do this since I joined and it took literally banning TikTok for it to happen in the span of a few months by dansup for Loops, who thankfully has a favorable outlook on the use of algorithms on the fediverse.

Gladly. So I donated to Peertube.
Remember the NSA director back when all the Snowden stuff happened? Keith Alexander? He joined Amazon's board of directors in 2020. Not to mention Bezos is a particular fan of the DoD and was on the Pentagon's advisory board.
Why anyone would trust Amazon is beyond me. And I don't like feeling so damn watched just for walking down a street with a bunch of Ring cameras. I can't believe it's so normalized to constantly watch your neighbors with a corps eyeballs.
I'd sooner stop using the internet than be forced to imprint that carefully crafted poison into my psyche. They will not steal my life with ads.
