To be fair Slack is terrible to use and it probably at it's peak anyhow. Why not exit and let someone else deal with the downhill portion of it's existence?

With the number of fines this company has occurred in its short existence Im very surprised they are still allowed to be a brokerage of sorts and will be allowed to go public.

People act as if they are great communicators with their code. Most developers are terrible communicators in person/text so even worse using a language. Having comments plus readable code is nothing but a net-positive.

How are you installing Chrome extensions without signing into Chrome first? I find I cannot install any of them for Vivaldi without signing into Chrome (which sort of defeats the purpose)

> he says it should have been stopped, Again, I ask why. It wasn't anti-competitve because the service still exists as a standalone service just with a different owner. I see what you are saying it just does not make any sense in

Makes sense I should have been more clear (also why I said I wasnt trying to be snarky because I could easily read my first comment as such). I think at the time this sale happened any messaging service could have been sold to any company

I would like to know why he thinks it should have been stopped. At the time of that purchase I think any messaging platform could have been sold to anyone and not been stopped (imo).

I agree with that but a independent messaging app seems perfectly safe for FB to purchase. Instagram a little different but I never saw the government being concerned or potentially not allow this one to go through. That is why I was curi

Right but I didnt see anything in this acquisition that would trigger antitrust (WhatsApp only, I did see issues with Instagram). And independent messaging app that didnt have ads seems like a safe purchase from a legal standpoint. That i

It makes me dread taking their monthly releases. I wish they would decouple security fixes with everything else. My address bar is permanently broken, I cannot delete previously viewed sites as suggestions at all anymore.

What do you mean 'allowed' (Im not being snarky, honestly curious please take the question as not an attack)? The creators just sold it, private company, private service they could have sold it to anyone they wanted. I think in

I wonder if they are going to look into congress? I wish I were making a joke but this seems like a problem that starts at the top. Nationally was it this bad before the Trump administration?

I think Apple will have good legal grounds to stand on if they get rid of one of those, and will garner a lot of customer goodwill. Right now it really looks like Apple does not respect both their customers and third party developers at al

Yes there are a lot of lessons here, and no easy answers. I can poke holes in my own arguments. I still believe they shouldnt be allowed to be a brokerage based on past behavior and for the common good of everyone but its tough. And mone
