In my experience Teams is great for calls (both audio and video), horrible for chat. I guess because it's built on top of Skype codebase? (just a guess) But it's out of the scope for this discussion.

It doesn’t surprise me that twitter engagement went down. It’s worse in every imaginable way (except for community notes, those are nice I guess) What does surprise me is how little it decreased. The site is barely usable now and, the usage

sr.ht does that I don’t find it very user friendly (well, at all), but if you want a git forge that does that, you can use it.

this “assault on senses” is normal in these Chinese/Asian shopping apps, even the more “standard” ones. I know more the SEA ones than Chinese ones but they are all like this. I don’t know who likes it, but it obviously works, as everyo

I was as shocked as you, but then I remember, the paleo-conservative right doesn’t like big tech as they are seeing them as censors.

I honestly didn’t know that, thanks for telling me. However shrimps do need to be cooked alive, right?

There is a gradient, I think I’m fine with for example cooking lobsters or prawns and other seafood that needs to be basically cooked alive. Because they are less sentient and less closer to human. I’m not fine with cooking chicken alive. T

What a fascinating article. I never knew about these treasure hunts - and while I am not at all the type to get into it, the background with all the backstabbing and all the people going wild is fascinating. Both this and the Masquerade cas

OpenOffice is dead but who cares? ASF doesn’t really spend any funds on it, it doesn’t eat away any attention, doesn’t really fork the community because nobody really cares about ooo, at least there is something stable there. I don’t know,

I have just bought aranet4, a CO2 meter, which uses eink and I think partly because of that has a ridiculously long 5 year battery life. But I understand why… it’s 169eur, the cheaper CO2 meters are just much cheaper.
