This can also backfire because they might transfer you back to the queue, losing your previous spot.

If Cortana had copilots LLM behind it, it might have survived.

Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.

The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.

That’s fucking gold.

Hiding a camera in person would be actively malicious if the other party doesn’t know. Having a zoom recording leaked is less actively.

Its a fair point, and definitely worth pointing out. They aren’t as bad as the others in that very specific way, which is commendable for now while it suits them. The moment they can make more money by selling vs. holding your data, I have no doubts they will pivot.

That’s what I was missing.

Great movie. In this case, at end of this one you can have assets and apparently also tell your friends what you’re up to.

I was just nodding along, reading your post thinking, yup, agreed. Until I saw there was a PR to fix it that signal ignored, that seems odd and there must be some mitigating circumstances on why they haven’t merged it.

Otherwise that’s just inexcusable.

Former kbiner, but out of the loop on this one. What’s I miss?

That’s perfectly fine for some things, but for most people letting their browser choice dictate what sites they use is backwards

Yeah. Just warning for those that didn’t watch it, starting off on the pig one thinking you’re gonna see the advertisement one could be a rude switch.

Definitely black mirror, but pretty sure it is not episode one.

Did you forget the ./s or something? Lemmy itself is developed on GitHub, as are plenty of other “valuable” open source projects. To pretend nothing of value is built there is putting your head in the sand.

If you’re developing software on GitHub you have a chance at getting some useful feedback, bug reports and maybe even PRs. Like it or not, the network effect is real.

Proton drive has windows and Android clients that work well. I’d love a Linux client for drive and for them to fix the photo upload issue on android, but eventually those things will come.

That’s no worse than you started. The fact remains nobody is going to get 100% coverage of their contact list on the fediverse without Meta, so trading a Facebook account for a threads account is no different, and it ignores the benefits of that time when you maybe able to live without either.

We need caldev through the bridge app for use in thunderbird and other apps.

Seems the second group is a vocal minority. This feature helps the first group, but doesn’t help the second group.

According to Signal, the first group is the larger group and this helps the most users of Signal.

Could it be better? Sure. This is still a good step in terms of privacy, even though it doesn’t really improve anonymity.

I think this is a fairly common use case. Maybe not the most common, but I’ve definitely seen this at multiple shops.

Density of RAM on hosts is often a limiting factor for scaling. Not every app is CPU hungry. Some just need to be available, and running a whole is for isolation is the way it’s done in a lot of shops.

While it is an electron app, it’s a pretty decent one. Because it’s not full of tracking and other crap it’s pretty responsive.

Their web and mobile apps are pretty good. Its definitely not as polished as gsuite or office, but it’s still good and you are the customer not the product.
