He can’t just sell 2bn at once. They’re saying as he sold the price would naturally crater even without news getting involved.

Damn that’s wild. Can’t even remember the last time I had bad mole. Chin up bro.

Not following this one. Are we talking about dual booting or is this some military thing that I’m too non-combatant to understand?

The point would be to be outside. Were traveling right now and I can’t find the link but if you search for wolphrams life hacks type of thing there’s an article he wrote about it which was a fascinating read.

Personally I have an elliptical at home with a laptop stand on it and I love it.

Wolfram uses a walking desk but it’s more of a laptop support like a baby bjorn. I kind of want one but looks like they need a bit of customizing.

Welp, glad everyone isn’t like you. The world would be much worse.

It costs him nothing and makes thousands of people happy. It contributes to the open source landscape which he built on heavily. Search his Reddit profile for open source mentions and see for yourself.

lol? That must have been a half ass attempt on your part because GitHub search is fantastic.

And what does he listen to while he’s stuck? Flue jazz!

I have open sourced software and contributed to open source software. Bet you haven’t. Sure is nice for you to get the benefits of open source with Voyager though isn’t it?

I didn’t say he was obligated to open source it. He gains nothing by keeping it closed. If he had open sourced it I could still use it because I have a Reddit API key. If he open sourced it, it could be converted to work with Lemmy. But he effectively burned it down.

He doesn’t owe it to me to open source it but I can still think it was a shitty selfish decision.

Wow, pretty clear how he feels about it. But also he made plenty of money of Apollo and then just shut it down and refused to open source it. So I don’t feel particularly inclined to change my behavior here.

Edit: All these people white knighting a dev that made millions off his app.
