Same here, Slack is one in a long line if similar chat apps we've used over the years, on premises and remote.

It's behind a paywall, why post a link to an article that can't be read?

Also, I wonder if the recent crash that killed a Nigerian Bank CEO and his family is related to this?

What the eff is wrong with the human population under age 30 or so?

"Heat pumps use refrigerant to condition the air in your home by adding or removing heat through thermal exchange."

"Air conditioning is a cooling system that circulates cool air into an enclosed space, creating a comfortable atmosphere and improving indoor air quality."

"Air conditioners generally last longer than heat pumps because air conditioners only run when the air needs cooling, while heat pumps operate year-round."

We've owned three homes, our first one had a heat pump. In Virginia. It generally sucked. It wasn't as good as real A/C in the summer and wasn't as good as gas or electric heat in the winter. I hope to never end up in a place that uses a heat pump.

Streaming became popular because it was easier than piracy

We never stole (cute word pirated) anything. We became cordcutters (OTA and streaming) because we felt we weren't using but maybe $20 of the $180 monthly we were paying to cable. We became cordcutters in 2013. We never stole (cute word pirated) anything.

I want Thunderbird to look like Thunderbird, not Outlook. There's nothing superior about Outlook. When Microsoft made the ridiculous decision to stuck the search text box in the Title Bar, it was clear they have no clue any more what they're doing. Then Thunderbird recently followed suit. Dumb and dumber. At least TB lets us fix it. Now they're focusing on Exchange support when the best email servers on the planet have nothing to do with Microsoft? Dumb and dumber redux. Time to look for a new email client on the Linux Desktop.

It's "a public API", not "an public API", because of the consonant rule.

I really worry that there are people out there who will anxiously mangle their company's data thinking what is being called AI, which doesn't exist yet, will save the day.

Note, that's technicians, not engineers, technicians and that's just one manual.

It's OK, the Gates family will protect them.

Can you explain this more? Why are you so tied to ipv4?

For me, IPv4 doesn't break the privacy barrier, IPv6 blasts a huge hole straight into each and every household, office and IoT device on the planet. No, privacy fixes put into IPv6 do not work.

Copyright is not a real thing. It's a fiction.

Now, I don't have a college degree, but with my 60+ years life experience I can say, yes, copyright is a real thing, it protects people who create, from assholes and AI.

Yep, I agree with all of that. Half of a billion dollars though, one contract, one bidder, that was only one of several awarded that day with many awarded every day of the year (with various amounts/bids), just saying, so many contracts and one with one bidder worth that much, wow.

This blows my mind, one contract, came in at half a billion dollars and there was only one bid!?!? Maybe that last comma was supposed to be a decimal place?

Agreed, Scrum is a death march. Kanban is the way.
