  • On the other hand, nobody ever will fix, update, or port many pieces of software if backwards compatibility is expected to be kept up indefinitely.

    I'm frankly not sure which is better. Do it the apple way, force projects to make their software work on modern platforms, and just accept that some people will really be fucked over for the sake of progress. Doesn't sit right with me, but on the other hand things can't keep being compatible forever.

  • Money. Lots and lots of it.

    Hosting video on a significant scale is very expensive. Stupendously expensive.

    Convincing people to join is also going to cost a lot of money. Consumers are on YT because creators are there, and they are already used to the platform. Creators are there because the consumers are there. And there is a robust infrastructure to make a living from content creation.

    Financing is especially difficult for such a project, because companies are willing to pay way more for targeted ads. For which you need some data about your users. The more data you collect, the better the and targeting can be, the more companies are willing to pay.
    Assuming there are enough users for companies to pay for advertising at all.

  • Dunno if you're German or Austrian or something, but in Vienna there is a Ziegelmuseum whose curator studies the history of bricks, how they were made and used and whatnot. They have a long list of brick makers in Austria, when they were active and so on.

    If you're in another country, they could maybe help get you in contact with a historian local to you.

    Could help you learn more about your mystery brick.

  • I'll use the cliche meme of "I was today years old when I learned where the name comes from". Just made the connection when I read this article, and I love Pulp Fiction.

    But I too am not a native English speaker. Just always accepted the clunky acronym as the reason for the name.
