Five years ago, a open-source project I worked on moved to Zulip (from Slack) and it was a small hurdle. But after a month, I really like it!

So much that I’ve pushed a few other open source projects (who lived on Discord).

I was really surprised when I started a new job two years ago and THEY used a self-hosted Zulip. It’s everything Im used to on Slack.

Discord has team speak/video sharing, which I don’t think Zulip has. But then again, we use something else for video calls.

For e2ee, neither does Discord, nor Stoat, which is what most of these comments are pushing people towards.

What was the problem with Zulip on mobile did you have?

I only use it for text chat, so I’m curious.

It does lead to slippery slopes. First, it’s to block “adult content”.

Then, they’ll consider certain topics “adult”. News about current events? LGBT content? Video games with some violence in it?

Facebook is an example of this slippery slope. And for parts of the country, they do need to scan an ID.

Yes.

Nextdoor is full of morons sharing their ring videos and then going, “Well my videos aren’t being shared online to Amazon because I checked the ‘privacy’ settings.”

You must have not met our American brand of Jesus, who believes in guns and Budweiser. Unless Budweiser is too woke now I dunno I don’t subscribe.

People who abuse GenAI no longer can tell when the shit they post look like GenAI. They only talk to AI so it looks normal to them.

This is what’s frustrating me the most.

We have a working infrastructure. It’s open source. Please adopt.

Watching Succession (which is based on the lives of media families like the Murdochs, the Redstones, the Maxwells, and the Sulzbergers) made me realize how little they care about the message their entertainment wing gives.

They will play both sides if it pays off. They don’t care.

Ah, just like Trump wanted.

I’m so glad that so many fast food chains are disappearing in my city. There’s so much local cuisine here.

Compared to when I was in the Midwest, where there was a dozen of each franchise.

I remember when Microsoft wanted to call sharing songs “Squirting”.

They do this with penis injuries too. I’m surprised people are surprised?

Or maybe I know too much about dick science.

They’re absolutely trying to find use cases for their “solution”.

I haven’t used a vending machine in years (except in Japan). And so I for one welcome AI vending machines so I can fuck with them and get free stuff. Or until some vandals break shit.

Democrats if they ever get the white house again: “Well, we better keep the plaques. We don’t want to upset them.”

Thinkpads running Linux for the staff.

We use open-source. Our own on-prem servers running Linux. A lot of our software is also open source. Our git, our office suite, our video and chat… All open source.

We just got rid of our Google Cloud connections a few months ago, but we’re still reliant on aws, cloudflare, etc.

I have slept in a car during college for months. I was spending $700/month for a bed in a shared bedroom, when I mostly was working or attending classes.

With Republicans combined attack against Font faces and Numbers, they will truly make America Great again.

The amount of people who pretend to be fake cops and murder their victims is not zero.

Ive had people who called themselves “cops” in plainclothes, and suddenly they weren’t when the real popo show up

I… I do have this dream though.

Am I joke to you?
