Unrelated to your actual post (plan to read later), but is your RSS busted? The rss link on the webpage gives a 404 and my RSS reader is erroring on it as well…

Does this app not do voicemail? I just got a voicemail and had to reset the standard google phone app as default to listen, then switch back to this one as default.

I imagine im missing something obvious here that i couls just search the web for, but i downloaded this app because of you all in the first place, so it is your collective responsibility to set it up for me as well.

Every time I touch the mouse i get a little more elbow pain. Tendens or whatever. The keyboard (an ergonomic one, at least) is more ergonomic.

I think they call these “chords”

Actual AI? Or chatbots?

Funny as hell

I dont think that private corps with tens of thousands of employees can do that at all. Private companies also have committees and working groups and different departments that dont talk to each other (despite the committees), and policies that people follow even though the policy hasnt been good for years.

The boss says “this is what we’re doing” and then it takes years for those hundreds of departments and tens of thousands of people to do it. Or they dont do it, because they disagree with the boss and the boss is far away from any work that they have no idea if people are doing it or not. Or they sorta do it, but then a new boss comes in and has a different plan.

Despite the dictatorship of the owner in a private corporation, actually implementing a thing, especially a new thing, does take a lot of time.

Yea, i mean this is just sort of pleasant fiction. There are no jokes, which is fine, but confusing coming from a place that is supposed to tell jokes…

I disagree with his right-wing libertarianism, as many have said. I found him when i was getting into tech privacy stuff and watched it, then youtube started giving me more of the harder weirdos who were a little more fashy. I dont think Mental Outlaw is a facist, dont get me wrong - but the youtube algorithm may send you that direction.

I think his older stuff was better and just had more content in each video. More recent videos (last 6-12 months?) it seems like he’s got two news articles he reads but then he just goes on big tangents to fill space.

The article doesnt talk about changing prices based on demand, it is about changing prices based on competitors’ prices.

And yea, if Target increased their prices when Amazon increased, then they would just all be higher. Then they could do it another round and another round until one of the companies decided they were at the limit.

If the two companies talked to each other about this, it would be illegal collusion. But instead they have code automate it without an explicit conversation, which may not be illegal but certainly makes our lives worse.

My local newspaper had this, i changed my credit card to a fake card number that developers use for testing.

Now i can physical mail every two months saying they cant properly charge my card.

So theyve spent $10+ on mailing me after I paid my $2 promo rate to them

well, shit, it looks like that is indeed what I want! setting it up now, thanks!

i’m not finding a way to prevent creating users right now… i’m just able to register new users again and again on the docker run. maybe i’m just missing the config (the documentation is looking like it needs to be fleshed out).

not really trying to anyone with the url make an account on my basement computer…

Gitlab takes way more RAM to run the docker container than i want. If this is lighter, that sounds nice. And im using only the most basic functionality, so wont be much loss to me if it cant do whatever fancy stuff.

Im amused that the repo for it is on github and not on, well, Gitness

Thats my password!

I started toying with mattermost as well and then saw in the logs things going to “matteranalytics” or something like that… Shouldn’t be too surprised, but seemed ironic since I looked it up to avoid the similar thing with rocket

I’ve set up a test server for matrix as well, wanted to compare to rocket since I see it mentioned a lot.

When I told a friend (the one I’d need on board to get the group of friends to use it) he said “does it have the gifs?” Matrix has a years-long enhancement request for native giphy support which is yet resolved. I dabbled with a giphy plugin with matrix and it worked alright, but I dunno if it was good enough to win my friends over.
