Blue ice! The name for fecal discharges from airplanes that freeze as they fall through the atmosphere, and also the inspiration for Jeff Bezos' space company Blue Origin.
If you're looking to meet new people, join a regularly meeting group of some kind. You could try 'prov (short for improv) or 'ook club (short for book club). Or 'coholics Anonymous (short for Chocoholics Anonymous).

I get that people may think that Loops is simply a TikTok clone.

But a clone wouldn't ship 26k LoC to add ActivityPub support*, publish all source code under AGPL, or support full data export and migration.

Most TikTok competitors are driven by financial motives, whereas Loops isn't.

This matters. A lot.

You can't serve two masters — either you serve your people, or you serve the money.

We chose people. ❤️

Loops - Short videos. Your community. Your rules.

All the fun of short-form video, none of the corporate control. Loops is federated, open-source, and designed to give power back to creators and communities.

A curiously frequent manifestation of #Mozilla Derangement Syndrome: when young men who don't have financial literacy attempt to interpret standard non-profit disclosure forms. And because they've only seen money and documents in movies, think that every page is proof of a conspiracy.

HN being insane lately. Some fully sincere anti-Mozilla arguments I have seen in the past few days (these are bad and I disagree with them):

- Mozilla and Google are a duopoly
- Mozilla is "hiding" their spending (in publicly released reports)
- Quantum was an abandoned project and never used
- Mozilla is "pretending" to be a nonprofit but is secretly a corporation!
- Mozilla is running out of money
- Mozilla is high on the hog with too much money
