   I thought their changes would bring iMessage closer to the feel of Slack/Teams/(insert chat app here). It won't be multiple-channels-in-a-server style, but it may be close enough...

    This is the same company that said that it "won't encrypt free calls so it can work more with law enforcement"[1]. I'd stay away. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23399924

    This is actually a really good idea. I might be using this in the future, just because of its simplicity.

    So now I have to replace all the "master"s in my aliases to "main"... except I have to switch back when I work on an older repository. Yay.
