It's mostly not working for me. Seems to sync from my local computer up to the server, but cannot log in on website or create Dropbox links. I see it's listed as down on the status page as well.

Since there are Fastmail people here, I'll say the web app's search is slowly improving, but it leaves a lot be desired. For example, it is stupid around interpreting time intervals for search. E.g.,

You can ask it to Search "between" times.

If you give it __Jan__ and __Feb__, of course, you expect it to include everything between Jan 1 and Feb 28 (if it's not a leap year) or Feb 29 (if it is a leap year). What does it do?

Sad.

"Close you the door" sounds completely ungrammatical to me. Is it or was it ever considered grammatical in modern English?

What you describe around audio

mute the audio by default, stream the video on mobile data anyway, and then unmute the video as soon as the user clicks anywhere

sounds like exactly like how Instagram app works.

Last week, the Internet blew up with the seemingly outrageous news that Musk fired a "senior engineer" over his saying that Musk's low view count was NOT due to anything wrong technically with Twitter, implying Twitter users just weren't all that interested in Musk. Here's that story: https://www.platformer.news/p/elon-musk-fires-a-top-twitter-...

So yesterday/today Musk is tweeting that Twitter Engineering is finding and addressing problems affecting view count.

So was Musk basically right technically and the Sr Engr wrong? Not at all saying it was right to fire the engineer on the spot or any of the outrageous behavior Musk reportedly exhibited around this technical issue, just the technical issue itself.
