I agree, those dicks definitely could be doing better with their money and we should take it away from them for societally useful things.

Someone else has a server and their infrastructure is set up so you can upload a zip of some executable and they'll figure out how to make it run. You don't worry about any details except your code and whatever API is require to be compatible, and they worry about hosting it, making sure it has memory, CPU time, disk space, DB, etc.

Company is worth a smooth 100 mil. They can afford to hire more people to keep the rate of videos going while improving quality.

Ehhh, not really. If showing 10,000 people an ad costs you $10 and even one person made a purchase off that, you've paid for the ad buy. Internet ad conversions are considered unbelievably excellent if 1% of viewers click on the ad and 1% of those people make a purchase.

Also, if you don't advertise, then your competition that do advertise are going to eat your lunch.

Actually? I thought it was because Marxist-Leninist. Domains are like ten bucks a year

Hexbear tends to appear to other instances as overtly political because the bears will come out of the woodwork to dunk on libs. It's a culture that goes back to /r/chapotraphouse, when posters would share screenshots of some moronic reactionary take and drag the offender into the thread to bully them for being racists or transphobic.

Internally, hexbear mostly consists of trans positivity and pictures of owls

I've got a Windows desktop and a MacBook. For the life of me I cannot figure out why coding on the desktop feels like ass.

Does a more recent stack translate to any real benefits?

A damning condemnation of your education system, to be certain

Nah, meters are very straightforward and easy to work with. How far is a kilofoot? God only knows, but a kilometre is a trivially visualized distance. What's 1/100 of a foot? Dunno, but with meters it's a centimeter which is, again intuitively easy to grasp.

Lady's out here acting as an advocate for autistic people and also designing ways to industrially kill animals more efficiently. You can't claim to be empathic to animals and then build ways to slaughter them.
