  • I created a bunch of blogs myself, did all of the development and design myself, managed the servers myself, and wrote all of the content myself.

    Sure sounds like labour to me.

    And there is no requirement for labour to generate income immediately. A majority of labour is front-loaded, with income being back-loaded.

    I still have one of them, and I receive around $60 per month from it despite the fact that I haven’t touched it in over a decade.

    Server maintenance and updating code to work with current releases is still “labour”. Because sure as shit you’ve been doing these things… no hosting provider is going to let you go 10 years with zero updates or patches to the website or the underlying framework that allows the website to run. Because failing to do that is how entire hosting platforms get rooted and infected with malware.



  • We don’t have anyone actively working on Windows support, […] We would like to do Windows eventually, but it’s not a priority at the moment.

    As much as I applaud this focus on just one broad OS architecture, as it will greatly speed development, leaving out Windows is likely to cut off 85-90% of all early adopters. I just hope that the benefit of a simplified target will outweigh ignoring the vast majority of the market.

    And honestly, methinks they should focus on Haiku OS before Windows, as it is closer to a Unix heritage than Windows is. And Haiku OS desperately needs a native modern web browser with all the bells and whistles.
