@lnxw48a1 George died in 1932 at age 77, so he wasn't exactly around to lead the company to continued profitability. (He shot himself in the heart with a luger, leaving a note: "To my friends / My work is done / Why wait?")

A Kodak employee invented digital photography in 1975, and the DSLR in 1989. Kodak subsisted on patents until they expired in 2007 and filed for bankruptcy in 2012.

The money to found Kodak came from selling buggy whips.

Nothing lasts forever…

Security between #OStatus and #ActivityPub is exactly the same. If that's the sole advantage you're looking for, you'll be soundly disappointed on an AP-only network.

As for the #blockwars problem that Roy @schestowitz mentioned, the only possible solutions are (1) to put better blocking and filtering tools in the hands of the users instead of concentrating more power into admins' hands; and (2) smaller instances instead of larger ones.

@lain SO TRUE

It could destroy youtube monopoly
