I feel like any google chat product is objectively worse just because it's going to get renamed 3 times and then discontinued.

Anybody here experienced the Keybase fail of the other day? I had some former colleagues hanging in there, but this was the last straw. Time to move on to..... idunno... Slack? lol. no. Everything that exists is either for harvesting data or run by nazi crypto-bros. Happy 2024, everyone.

The NUC I was able use at work for interactive Linux kernel development did not survive the holidays. Now I have to climb through giant hoops to have a personal machine with power comparable to higher-end desktop processor from four years ago. What I am supposed to do instead is one of: 1. Use my laptop with less and two thirds of that compute power and half the RAM. And putting a Linux OS on it is just starting to be supported. 2. Use a compute cluster with 100MB of personal space. Any additional space would be network mounted. 3. Use previous generation test products that fall apart running idle, but VNC and RDP are blocked in the lab. 4. Put a regular machine in the lab, but VNC only works for Windows machines. Me drumming up the argument to have this machine is being treated as a technical leadership opportunity instead of as a basic necessity. What the gently caress?

I am currently trying number 4 with an ssh tunnel, but I think the machine is getting blocked on the network because it booted to my old image with a different host name.

Now the only praise I see it gets is "it's better than teams" Slack started as essentially irc but with inlined media which was awesome. Since then they've added a ton of features that just make it more complicated and slow. Soon we'll have a new upstart called "Boof" or something dumb, and the cycle will repeat.

It's inability to know when I'm active on desktop. I'll get a call, answer and my phone will start ringing. Also when someone tries to call me, and I miss it, why can I not easily see this? A notification of a missed call is the default behaviour of every chat/voice app for 20 years. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jan 4, 2024 |

Teams is fine except that predicting what will happen when you hit the back button is genuinely challenging.

Mega Comrade posted:I remember when everyone would talk about how good slack was. Now the only praise I see it gets is "it's better than teams" Mark of success. What came before Slack wherever it got adopted is so far in the rearview that it's no longer there for contrast, and the market reoriented around it so there are now plenty of competitors to compare with. It's still way better than email and helping non-engineers get on IRC.

Harriet Carker posted:I still like Slack. What do you all dislike about it? The formatting in desktop client is stupid. The formatting in mobile client is utter horse poo poo. Also it's slow, doesn't properly redraw content, so I'll see a message in notification bar, click it, answer, and when I reopen the thread/channel in standard way, the message from the notification won't be there (nor my answer or any followup chat). Would it kill them to have language highlighting support? Still better than Teams though.

I honestly don't understand why people making Slack/Teams/whatever don't just go and steal Discord's message editing. It is just so much better than the weird stateful BS they are doing.

We had "Zulip" at one company and there were at least three different mutinies trying to switch over to slack. Including a formal vote where slack won "but not by enough". Eventually the product team got slack and over time engineering all managed to get slack licenses and we all migrated over leaving the VP of engineering and his group of cronies (which he never hesitated to mention, were all in his wedding) over there gently caress Zulip I'm half convinced the eng VP was getting kick backs from Zulip to stay on the platform

It's like 11 years old at this point. Some people use it The big selling point is it's formatted like a message board, you need to create a topic before sending a message and there's no BYOB/general chat room and there's no html view you have to use the app and search is abysmal It's like the opposite of a chat app No our eng VP was very good at talking himself into getting that job he had no programming or leadership experience despite being 40 something he definitely did not develop it. That was by far the most dysfunctional company I've ever worked at
