How is IRC in any way faster or more accessible than Slack for quick chats? Does IRC fit a purpose? If so, what? And how does it do anything better than Slack? Slack is certainly no email replacement, and nor will I ever use it for such b

Curious as to what specifically you think Slack gets wrong? Honestly, I can't find fault with it. It's such a basic and uncomplicated piece of software, I'm not sure how they could get anything wrong.

Slack is using 89mb here. I never notice it running, personally.

Really? Throughout the 80s, it was all Sinclairs, Commodores and Amstrads (certainly in the home) and even before the ZX Spectrum was the ZX81 which at £100 (or thereabouts) was the first home computer of choice for many, many people. I kne

While I agree with you, the results you seek are still subjective results. As a flat earther (I'm not a flat earther), the emphasis I wuold be looking for would be on returning results proving the earth is flat when I search for inform

Is bringing another being into the world the most important thing one can actually do? I'm not sure if you've noticed but we're getting pretty full. And we're living longer. Feels to me like the bus is getting full.

If the rest of us continue to incorrectly call Uber etc. "ridesharing" then that definition will soon become set in stone. Can we not just call them exactly what they are? Which is taxis. By every definition, they are taxis.

Cool story. So, why?

Possibly once a year I install Ubuntu on my laptop and am always determined to move over to Linux on the desktop but sadly it takes only a few days of frustration before I revert back to OSX. It's nothing to do with 3D shadows under wi

This may help: http://osxdaily.com/2018/10/15/dark-menu-dock-light-theme-ma... Edit. It does to a degree. Firefox takes on the dark theme but everything else seems fine so far.

As swiftcoder says. It's massive, needlessly so in my opinion.

Have one of the new 15" macbook pro with touch bar. My keyboard will never break simply because I never, ever use it. It's awful to type on, possibly the worst keyboard I've ever used. As is the track pad. I have a mouse plug

What a ridiculous suggestion. Of course we shouldn't, because those things affect us in the present.

It's a pretty awful name but it was around well before Facebook appeared or certainly became popular, I used it for a short while around 2002-2003. It wasn't a great place and I'm amazed it's still online.

That's the strangest take on this story I've read. Any pearls of wisdom for all those people who are now going to be made redundant?

In the UK, before Facebook we had Friends Reunited which many, many people were members of. It seemed to pass a number of hands after the original developers sold it - ITV bought it but it was beginning to lose members and interest, and the

Given the comments in this post, I think people disagree with you. Not sure how you came to the conclusion that because you can't think of any integrations you personally use that it won't affect others.

It's less the speed of typing but the continual back and forth of texting and the delay between messages. You send a message, you get a reply - sometimes later on in the day and you don't want to be that guy by hassling the recipi

I find discussions over text long winded and can often be discussed more thoroughly with a simple phone call. I'm with you on video chats, although while I was living overseas for a number of years my mother insisted on it, which was f

I don't understand why young (I'm making an assumption here) people don't like making or receiving voice calls. I'd far rather talk to someone than text them. Texting requires far more effort and takes far more time.

Do you really believe that? That people are so incapable of independent thought that they will subservantly obey the wishes and demands of Apple? Come on.

I'm not sure I'd personally use such a service. I see enough ads on a day to day basis without specifically seeking out more.
