@lispi314 @foone Yes, but unlike #Slack it won't make your Laptop sound like you're mining half a dozen #Shitcoins on it and completely saturate the #RAM even on a 14" MBP that has been maxed out in terms of RAM from the factory...
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.
My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal [¹](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036), #Telegram, #Discord [²](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114865723904157014), #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:
- *WHY* is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?
- *WHY* does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??
This problem ain't new and *already got [solved for corporate social media](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862619013462466) ages ago!* (Not to mention actually good messengers!)
- And no, [bridges](https://toots.ch/@dalai/114862754556459439) *[don't](https://swecyb.com/@troed/114862774972645542) count*!
- I mean `API 0` - [style](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685423773959519) access because obviously [none of the platforms](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685414638522984) will *allow, endorse or support such an endeavour* and [*actively fight the developers and users*](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685441496803574) !
So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim@fosstodon.org / #Gajim or @pidgin@fosstodon.org / #Pidgin *for garbage platforms!*
- Cuz back in the day we had *way worse messengers* yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single *"phat" client*!
- Can we please get that back?

Friendly reminder that Slack is going to automagically enable their brand-new magical AI pixie dust in everyone’s workspace on (I think) the 17th, so maybe go log into your Slack admin account and maybe disable the AI pixie dust before it infects *you* #ai #slack #sysadmin #bofh #offbydefault #jfc #sigh

Ever wondered how to tackle a massive test migration without losing your mind?
Sergii Gorbachov, Staff Engineer at Slack, reveals how #Slack migrated an incredible 20,000 tests in just 10 months! He shares their unique approach, combining AI with traditional coding methods.
The big lesson? #AI isn't a magic fix. Human oversight and conventional tools were essential to make it work.

"#Mozilla can press on with independent subprojects such as #Thunderbird owners #MZLA #Technologies #Corporation. The popular #Electron #framework is based on #Chromium. It's too late to change that, even if maybe #Servo may one day offer an #alternative. But if #Thunderbird sucked in #Libpurple, it wouldn't matter if #Slack and #Teams and so on used #Electron, as Thunderbird could talk to the servers directly."
"But pointing at what we'd like to see is attempting to #treat the #symptoms and not the #disease. Is there a way to #encourage Mozilla to be an #organized, #focused, #professional #business, with #eyes keenly set on a clearly defined #goal? Perhaps that's the wrong #question. Perhaps that shouldn't be the goal at all. For all that the #Linux business is #huge, no #company #develops the #kernel. They all #cooperate on it. The #Linux #Foundation #funds it, but doesn't really #guide it."
"One #observer has been #spectating and #commentating on Mozilla since before it was a foundation – one of its original co-#developers, #JamieZawinksi. He has been accurately #cataloging Mozilla's #failings for #years."

@nina_kali_nina #Mattermost and #Slack have some thing similar, even a bit more flexible. But yes #Threema lacks that feature.
#Slack finally got back to me with a way to turn off these stupid growth hacking “Mobile Push Notifications.”
You know, the kind that are sent to my mobile devices, which I am on for 95-99% of my day.
Turns out all I have to do is sign into Slack with a browser. Like people do on classic computers.
Then there’s an option to disable these growth hacking Mobile Push Notifications.
Can’t disable “Mobile Push Notifications” from the app on my Mobile Device.
Because Slack is a serious company.

Can you see How Easy it Works?
RANT! I have never used Slack. I just didnt need it. Yes Ive ran small tech teams to work on web or app dev, in HE contexts with talented capable students and real clients. Slack wasnt useful. Ive got 3 old workspaces never used. Was it easy to delete them? No. Did it accept fresh passwords? No. Did the email support actually read my email properly? No. Ive now sent a request to nuke everything asap, its my right (GDPR). Stop with this deactivate account bs.
