feels like a bit of a strawman.

arguing that you can't use the client without the license for the server... on the same machine, is silly. There's tons of utility with the client even if you don't have the server license locally, especially if you ever use the Remote Desktop Client remotely.

As someone that fits this bill perfectly, and considered tossing my hat in the ring, I kind of agree with this person.

While I may not agree with the phrasing and hostility, the point still stand that they are effectively looking for Senior Level + DevOps.

And 5 hours a week will turn into 30+ as the person or persons takes over ownership of the required pieces.

My main holdup is just having enough time personally.

How does less of a subscriber base lead to way more expensive price? Unless the dev is greedy and wanting to suck the souls of all the early adopters.

I wouldn’t be surprised. She’s had a number of wellness checks called on her

As far as paywalls go, that’s one of the nicest ones. One click and I was able to fully read the article without signing up or anything.

Who actually sees ads? Between NextDNS or PiHole and ublock origin, I haven’t seen an ad in years.

They aren’t even great platforms anymore in comparison.

Other SBCs are cheaper, more smartly designed, and have more features (emmc, pcie, etc)

The big thing RPI have going for them is that they are the standard and all the OS/software/etc end up being super turnkey

While I'm the same and agree, I'm certainly loving the drama and downfall of that toolbag.

Blue LEDs used to be super expensive. Therefore, only high end electronics had them. So once LEDs got dirt cheap, everybody started dropping blue LEDs on everything to capture that "premium" feel.

Now of course, it's just obnoxious

I don't think accepting reality is making excuses.

Comparing meta to beehaw, or really anything else, is truly coming up short. Meta is the 8 ton gorilla in the corner. If the numbers that were released about 30 mllion people on Threads is true, they instantly have 10x the total population, and that numbers going to go up as more people stumble upon it.

Point being, Threads doesn't need any other communities. People using Threads are those people who have never used reddit, and never would have signed up for lemmy. These people are also the same ones who don't care about if their content is coming from a federated source, or just Threads.
