@adi You could certainly reach out to Eric (the founder of ethical ads) and see if there's any interested there!
@adi You mean a sponsor for your project, or a sponsorship in Console?
@adi It's a sponsorship, but I suspect he's trying the newsletter out to potentially include it as an "Ethical Ad" in the future.
@prologic ha ha! too good. Although, Australia's Covid response has been substantially better than ours in the U.S. so, hats off for that.
@prologic @adi well...I can safely say I've seen it all now. That's enough internet for today... LOL
lol would you have ever thought you'd see a headline like that in your lifetime?
@adi @prologic I started in September of last year. Yeah, so far it's been good, and more importantly, extremely fun! I wouldn't have met either of you without it :)
@adi @prologic There are ~2,800 subscribers (it seems to go up by around 20-30 per day since I started) and around ~20K views per month on the posts, but that also seems to be going up every month as well.
@adi I tried to get Omar to answer some questions about security, because I have similar concerns, but, he didn't answer them. Ah well, can't win them all.
@prologic thank you! Yes neutral is important! \n\nFun fact, the newsletter started as a typical Ben Thompson style thing, then I thought "no one cares what you have to say, just focus on providing something you'd be interested in", and Console was born! so I specifically try to pack as much value as I can into the emails and keep my opinions out of it.
@prologic Thanks!\n\nYeah, I thought that viewpoint was a bit extreme, but I'd never used Vagrant before. I try not to push back too heavily on people during the interviews because I don't want the newsletter to get a reputation for being divisive, for fear of people avoiding being interviewed. Usually I would have asked some questions such that Marc would have qualified his statement a bit, but again, since I wasn't familiar with Vagrant I had to let it be.\n\nYou should have brought this up in the Discord server! This is exactly the case I created it for.
got it! sure! will do. Thanks!
Hey! I don't usually accept submissions, but I'll take a look!
would've taken me even longer lol
I think it gives it character, it adds to the excitement of the email :)
ha ha, yeah, I wanted to fix it, but it was a bit of work given it was a screenshot.
You can check the newsletter out here
@prologic This is why I started Console. What a great way to end the year!\n\n
