Slack killed IRC integration mid 2018.

What exactly did Slack "allow" though? The continued existence of an ancient protocol with a niche but dedicated following of predominantly "old school" tech people?

Maybe. Or this will play out like Slack and IRC.

Initially, Slack integrated with IRC. Which was great! It meant I could use xchat to talk with folks, and could set up simple bots using standard IRC tools.

And then Slack killed that feature...but it absolutely didn't kill IRC, because die hard IRC users never cared about Slack in the first place.

My prediction is it'll be the same


what sort of people will be attracted to Threads vs a smaller "proper" instance? Probably the sort of people who would never consider a federated platform in the first place.

Just speculation and I could certainly be wrong...

IIRC mine (as an employee, not HR) verified some stuff on my CV (education details I think).

Other comment says there is a way from inside, just not outside (which doesn't help with a young kid/toddler/baby is the inside passenger of course).

Either way, glad this is "only" a huge embarrassment, and not a dead kid.

I think the thing is, at the top of a big corporation yeah they don't care. But the boots on the ground people who apply for a DEI or outreach type job? My experience is that they absolutely do care.

I did bike to work one year. Big group of us all at different companies/school. We stopped at Oracle on the way, because they had a big bike to work party. Now, I suspect Larry E. doesn't give a shit about me or my bike. But the people who put that on absolutely cared about the cause, about making people feel welcome, and overall, having a good time (I don't/did not work for Oracle).

The corporation doesn't care about you. But there might be some people who work there who do.

Basically sounds like the Tesla game plan, which was super effective: roadster (which is purely a toy for the rich) and a little later the Model S (practical EV), and then introduce an affordable model.

This implies that eventually people will strap rusty boxes to their head though, so grain of salt with the analogy...

I went with "cheap mikrotik router + cheap used enterprise APs (3x Aruba 325)," and I've been pretty happy.

What hardware you running for pfSense?

I've heard that RawTherapee is good, but not quite on the same level.
