What value it may have had as an identifier was destroyed by Musk IMO.

How is the power consumption?

Of who’s money? 😜

First and foremost, I think this just fundamentally wouldn’t work out because it requires enough people being on a given thread at the same time, which would be on the rare side for most threads, then on top of that they also need to be in a position to talk freely, ie - Not on the toilet, not in their open floorplan cube at work. The two place most commenting happens.

More subjectively, IMO, the times this would work out and be civil and a good conversation, would be far outweighed by the ones where it went south.

Windows didn’t do anything, this was an update applied by the Crowdstrike agent.

Selling out this quick to a company obviously trying to reduce competition, feels like they weren’t all that committed to the cause.

As with many things, it really is likely a mixture of both. Very possible that 9.99 was unrealistically low, but the current streaming market and “inflation” smoke screening is also enabling some real squeezing of consumers.

This britens my day way more than it should.

PRTG maybe? It’s free for 100 sensors.

You may be thinking of something else, Slack doesn’t have a self-hosted version.

I am honestly a little confused, what are they trying to bring to the table that isn’t covered by Bing Chat AI already?

With that domain, I’m not that surprised. Actually even says Mumbai News on the page so it’s non-native speakers writing or converting for English.

I 100% salute your mom but raw capability isn’t even really the point. Realistically, your average person, let alone older person has absolutely zero interest in needing to touch a terminal. They want to live as close to auto-magic as they possibly can. I hate Apple but the idea that it “just works” is one of their primary selling points, right along side the whole status symbol thing. It’s not a right or wrong, just people being people.

That might just be the default though, they had sms until this change, so TOTP may still be on the table.

So basically “NextDoor: Fediverse Edition”.

I’m not against but I think uptake will be difficult because, depending on your starting region you may be competing with an established product and because there is a heavy venn overlap between people who care about decentralization and those who care about privacy and wouldn’t want an app tracking and to some degree giving away their location.

(Clarity Edit: I have a cold, my ending was guessable , but technically gibberish.)

Just like guns.

It’s wild that I just got my Robotech collectors edition box set, which was a pre-order, a few weeks ago, and it had a Funimation code in it. This was either a sudden decision or very poorly communicated in-house.

VOIP and call center call management systems.

Every barrier that slows down attacks a little is worth it when you are trying to buy time so people can apply emergency updates. It’s not about stopping them from ever figuring it out.

No one’s doing this kind of work on their android phone, so you’re argument is pedantic at best in this context.
