Very well said. What a great ally! My way or the highway.

Against what? Against consumers that don’t need to pay fees? Against the Brazilian government who is behind the pix?

Poor US companies with billionaires yatches bills to be paid.

Ah yes pdf is a clusterfuck where anything is valid I think, so minimal redundancy.

Text and image formats are way more lenient and are full of redundancies.

Curious here, this is base 64? And what’s behind it is more often than not an image or text? And you need to do ocr to get the characters?

Maybe for the text it could use a dictionary to rubber stamp whether that zero is actually a letter oh, etc etc?

I’m curious to know what the challenge is and what your approach is.

Haha I remembered this post and though it was worth dropping it here

Well he’s saying snaps are thrash.

So basically you’re telling the snap app to put something in the trash, and snap says “it always has been. Nothing to do here”

Well I tried a serious one for Wikipedia lol

Here’s Ed for you

I don’t mind if they destroy 10k copies of Fabio’s books. It’s probably not even half of the print run so for a thing, it’s guaranteed to be no harm because there’s enough copies around.

But when you say destroy ALL books, you’re also talking about rare first edition of whatever Shakespeare did, and manuscripts of Beethoven, and authors that I am fond of but I have no chance to buy used or new, or find in a library, because it’s not popular and/or is in a language that is not from the place I live. And that’s not cool.

So first things first, no single entity can have access to all books. Not even reputable historians would get access to anything they just ask around. Then there’s books that have few copies and no one has any clue where they are. Etc etc.

I tried making a simple edit, and after creating my account I was told it was not happening because my IP was geo blocked.

Tried from office, same thing.

Well, keep your secrets then.

Unlucky I’d say.

I haven’t touched Word in almost a decade because I’ve been fortunate to work in companies that don’t pay for Microsoft suite, instead using Google suite. And I’ll tell you, not only I need to use it very very little but also it’s much easier to get things done than Microsoft products.

What do I use daily? Slack and confluence. But we don’t need to talk about those, do we?

Gen alpha beta whatever will need those Microsoft skills when they enter workforce in corporations full of genz, because that’s pervasive cyber tools in those pieces. You can talk all you want about libre Office, but that’s not what man child ceo of big companies do, because they’re affairs of their man child friends peer pressure. Hive mentality.

I have trouble using Mac. Besides that it sucks, last time it was my main machine was almost 10 years, so I don’t remember basic stuff.

Does that make me a normie? ☺️☺️☺️

Yes and yes but no interest in self hosting

Well sure they don’t have to, but this makes it much easier to adopt.

Nice article, but sounds like he only had access to conversations available to every single government employee? He wasn’t able to crack into any direct messages or channels that he didn’t get an invite for.

I guess they’re all cloud tools? Or is there something I can install in my laptop?

I don’t know on what it’s based on, but it’s open source and audited.

That’s just idiot grifter CEOs afraid of being left behind because they believed hype in the media. Not happening in the timescale that they want, but by 2033 the trend will be easy to spot. And it will be nowhere near the current claims.

I guess he didn’t read history books about … (flip flip)

• Robots taking automotive industry in the 80, or (flip flip)
• mechanisation throughout 20th century, or perhaps (flip flip)
• steam machines in the 19th century

Well well he seems to have never touched a history book.

Maybe they should stick to science jokes and leave the English jokes to another cartoon
