👀 Vercel + Next.js are in the hot seat.

CEO Guillermo Rauch posted about meeting Netanyahu → dev backlash, boycott calls, Paul Graham weighing in, and rivals like Replit offering migration paths.

Reminder: Next.js is MIT, you don’t need Vercel hosting. Options exist.

Hey tech friends. I'm wondering about alternatives to stripe, specifically to stripe connect for split payouts. Anybody have any opinions about these European alternatives? https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/stripe

I see others like these but many of them have U.S. headquarters. https://tipalti.com/resources/learn/stripe-competitors-and-alternatives/

edit/added couple more tags for visibility.

"Venture capitalists have a thing they like to say. "We don't invest in ideas. We invest in people." That's true in a couple of ways. Let's get the funny one out of the way: they don't invest in ideas. Check. They invest in people. Specifically, they invest in people who look like they do, because today's venture capitalist was yesterday's startup founder and vice versa. They might as well be saying "we're both investing in our younger selves, and reinvesting in the idea that we've earned our place by perpetuating the idea that the next wave of us will come from the same pool.""

Just thinking about folks and organizations hosting their sites on Squarespace and similar web hosting providers.

A service like this would be a great way to help bring them into the fediverse, even if in a more limited way.
