  • Can you imagine being the hamster?

    Like you think you got some food or something for your nest, and you being it back, and suddenly this magic force attaches you to the cage.
    I wonder if the hamster knew it the force came from the thing in it’s mouth, or if it thought some unfathomable invisible being just reached out and stuck it there.









  • Kinda.
    Ignoring the pedantic take that nearly every website is a saas.
    And the slightly less pedantic take that every interactive website is a saas

    If your website is an app that does a thing that a user wants, it’s a saas.
    Your website just does mpeg to gif transcoding? That’s a saas. Online text editor? SaaS. Online tamagotchi? SaaS.

    If it doesn’t scale to the number of users who want or need to use it, then it’s not a very good SaaS. But SaaS it is.



  • Lol they don’t need scaling and redundancy to work. They just need scaling and redundancy to avoid being sued into oblivion when they lose all their customer data.

    As a full time AI hater, I fully believe that some code-specialized AI can write and maybe even deploy a full stack program, with basic input forms and CRUD, which is all you need to be a “saas”.

    It’s gonna suck, and be unmaintainable, and insecure, and fragile. But I bet it could do it and it’d work for a little while.






  • Imo we should go a step up from that:

    Communities should define their own categories, and identify certain categories as CW.
    Then clients could opt to auto-hide/blur those categories, and provide per-category overrides.

    Last time I tried to post something, using voyager, I didn’t even see the option to flag as NSFW, idk if it’s community specific or if this client simply doesn’t support it.
