Embrace extend extinguish is a well known pattern microslop uses to kill open source alternatives. You’re right it was already big which is why they embraced it (we’re both agreeing here) all I’m saying is they make sure it’s impossible to develop an alternative due to network effects and vendor default lock in. “Embrace extend extinguish” is From their own internal communications found during discovery.

Embrace, extend, extinguish.

Microsoft embraced github by buying it. They extended the features and ease of use to where it’s the primary website people use for sharing and collaborating on code. Now it extinguishes any alternative.

Vagueposting clickbait? On the internet!? For views and clicks!?! The website is AIDS it’s so full of ads!?

Truly the most oppressed class of people 😢

When I upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 9 5900X I did the research on DDR5 vs DDR4. I was considering a better version of the CPU that used DDR5 (I can’t for the life of me remember and I’m not searching just for this comment)

I decided to keep my ram but get a new MOBO and CPU. The performance gain from DDR5 was minimal for my use cases. The ECC would have been nice but that’s ok. I run memtest once a year and have only had ram die on me once.
