@LunaFoxgirlVT Well they are both beneath the Lisp alien, but which Gorris is best?

@charlotte Probably a pretty negligible amount compared to what the same companies earn on adware (e.g. some kind of malware that injects ads)

@yosh But what kind of pickles is your favorite? On my parents farm we have made pickled plums a couple of times which are pretty nice.
We also one had some pickled "asier"* which took long while to go through, but they go well with a lot of Danish dishes.
*That is the Danish name, no idea what they are called in English, but I am pretty sure that Google Translates "pickled asians" is incorrect. It is a sort of large cucumber that is not great to eat so you pickle it.

@charlotte Only if you help someone else design something else it would just be Raccoon Design

@charlotte Which even more implies it to be UX, if you want people to change how they do things you will need to tell them in some way. It is neither scalable or nice to be told by other users that your post is wrong because it uses non-canonical links. Which is why I think it should be done sooner.

@charlotte That implies that it is a UX issue more than anything else. I don't think it is a good idea to blame users who may not be used to using the app for issues like these. Since doing so will probably not lead to any improvements for the UX.
How to solve this is a good way is probably another issue, what could you do? Warn users if they try to post a non-canonical link or something?

@luna I remember that I once saw that the media format from it got supported in FFMPEG which I found pretty interesting.

@ekuber @GregMorenz A nice blog that talks a bit about this https://danluu.com/in-house/
They not only had tech debt, but they also had people that really understood the stack.
This is a bit akin to how Netflix knows FreeBSD well enough to tune it to extreme throughput. They could likely do the same with Linux, but FreeBSD is the stack they know. Twitter knew their stack well it is rare that it went down for the past few years
