It's basically a fancy context aware ctrl-f to the book. I use this regularly with RPG manuals. I _know_ the stuff, but don't remember every detail by heart. And just ctrl-f:ing through a Mörk/Pirate Borg -style PDF isn'

Greenfield, in my mind, implies "we are not taking any historical factors into account and just pick the best one for the task." "We are a Java house" is not a Greenfield thing. It's picking what you already use int

Everything: https://core.telegram.org/bots Bots are, on a platform level, presented as bots. It's not a courtesy rule of "please name bot accounts as _bot" or something. You can do actual payments with the AP

And a massive Anker USB-C battery pack isn't _that_ heavy if you want to spend multiple hours with the thing on.

The Vision Pro comes closest, but it's expensive as all hell - and Apple only.

My basic point is that the EU DMA is a good idea, but it's still stupid - and I live here. I do get the point of it, stuff needs to be interchangeable. BUT. Security and privacy need to be taken into account. Apple has a track record o

Our helpdesk doesn't use Sharepoint though :) And we're a Google Apps company, so we don't even have a M365 subscription. But you're right, the best competitive advantage of Teams is that it's "free"[0]. B

What's interesting to me is that the SVG versions don't have the "AI Image generation hates negative space" issue as badly as generated images do. They kinda stay on point and don't fill every single empty bit with

I just went with Prosody and it took maybe 20 minutes with claude+opentofu+docker to get it added to my stack. It _works_, but the limitations of Jabber without 42 different optional extensions became apparent pretty quickly.

Yep, the baseline for "messaging" has changed. Without first party emoji support, preferably custom emojis too, images, reaction gifs etc the majority of non old-nerd people won't even consider the system. And it can't j

Telegram has by far the best bot support of any platform, with Discord a close second followed by Slack. This is what the FOSS services kinda tend to glaze over, SO MUCH of my personal and professional life is managed by chatting with servi

Yep :( I wanted to self-host a chat service where I can control my bots and AIs, but with no native tagging functionality makes it really janky to work with. Discord and Telegram Just Work, but I'd much rather have the whole thing in m

You do know that Google is fighting the same DMA rules as Apple? They need to similarly make Gemini hot-swappable to anything on Android and don't want to. Apple was just first because they're a bigger and more visible target.

There’s no official way to “tag” people on Jabber. Clients do it but the protocol doesn’t. This is (to me) a big issue when using bots, for example. I need a non-ambiguous trigger for them.

Block the TV via its MAC address then? If it does MAC spoofing, then just take it out back and shoot it. That's properly malicious.

Jitsi doesn't integrate with meeting rooms and calendars to my knowledge? With Zoom we can have a setup where I just hit "join meeting" on a tablet in the meeting room and it'll join the meeting and pretty much just work

Slack has a button you can use to add custom emojis. Mic drop. IRC the protocol is pretty good still, specifically with the ircv3 additions. It's the clients that are janky still. I still remember when Slack ran a free IRC bridge for t

You use caveman to save on tokens, I use it to make the agent shut up. We are not the same =) When caveman was released, token efficiency was a lot more relevant. But in the time I've actually come to like its matter-of-fact and short

A Clapper[0] from the 80s "looked for a certain waveform", but definitely didn't "listen". What the smart speakers and devices do with the keyword is closer to the clapper than an actual transcription. [0] https:&#

Apple has a track record of doing stuff the difficult way (Maps) or doing it in a way that makes the end result worse than the competition (Siri) just to preserve user privacy. That's why they currently have my trust in these matters.

When someone comes up with smart glasses with a fully local setup, I'll be the first to buy. But I'm not wearing something where the content might get viewed by a random person in Nigeria for "cataloging content".

They are the actual VPs of different fields, not professional actors. It's hard to bring out "genuine emotions" when you're on the fifteenth take of a meticulously choreographed production. You just smile and focus on no
