This idea #Meta and its affiliates push that Zuck is kinda just winging it with some napkin thoughts is very very silly.

"Write code for the web" by Manav Rathi https://mrmr.io/apple

This is from an iOS developer, but as an Android developer, I came to basically the same conclusion 10 years ago. The web isn't perfect, but it's a near-universal platform not owned by anybody.

Netflix Architecture: How Much Does Netflix's AWS Cost? https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/netflix-aws/ :

> Netflix uses AWS for almost everything cloud computing. That includes online storage, a recommendation engine, video transcoding, databases, and analytics. So most of the $1 billion Netflix plans to spend on cloud services will go into Amazon Cloud Services.

If a #FAANG company uses #AWS, surely there's a market for social media cloud services. #Meta

Man Is Charged With -- His Father After Posting Grisly YouTube Video - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/31/us/pennsylvania-man-youtube-murder-father.html :

That combination leans heavily on machines is my guess. Also, these articles rarely identify which platform the person was radicalized. Why?
