@prologic less noise on the discover view, right?
@lyse not what you want. Instead of an infinite scrolling, it will render until a point, then give you a link to load the next batch. Rinse and repeat.

> I run it in a Work profile on my GrapheneOS phone that I can switch off at any time
Hmmmmmmm, I like that idea. If I could ban WhatsApp into a second profile and only switch it on every now and then, I would feel a little bit better about it.
(I don't really trust Android, though, and I suspect that apps can still install background services that are *always* active. Pure speculation and paranoid on my part, but still.)

I tried Signal, and I didn't like it. I don't like the interface, I don't like one has to rely on a relatively small company infrastructure. It has bugs, and issues: sometimes messages will deliver, sometimes they will not.
Nothing has been more stable for me (as an Apple user, that is) than Messages. It comes with the OS, it is beautiful, and it just works.

I admit I've always compromised on this way too much myself, always to this day having Facebook Messenger just to communicate in my families group chats. Sure I run it in a Work profile on my GrapheneOS phone that I can switch off at any time, I can completely cut it off from network access any time as well, I can have a lot of rudimentary control over it, I use it as sparingly as possible, but it doesn't change the fact everytime I use it we're funneling private convos through bloody Meta's servers and trackers etc.

@prologic Just look at their website. Yesterday, there was this quote, it's already gone by now:

Mo-mo-mo-monster bingo!
Someone archived this screnshot, that I've also seen yesterday: https://assets.chaos.social/cache/media_attachments/files/112/812/257/953/926/994/original/c9de6459751f2ebf.png „Your company can be ruined in just 62 minutes“ Luckily, ClownStrike can shorten this timeframe even more. :-D
@movq I hope all admins can at least tell management: Told you so! But of course, no manager gets fired for their bloody stupid decision.
@xuu We got several e-mails about this whole desaster at work.
@prologic I do not like infinite scroll at all. I think it is an anti-pattern. It doesn't let me quickly jump ahead. Pagination is superior in that regard.

@movq The first time I tried matrix I didn't like it either. I tried to join the public room and waited and waited and waited and waited for like 20+ minutes before I could even see anything in the room or even talk in the room! I just find the protocol to be so fucking overcomplicated for what it actually is meant to do.

I havnt seen any emails about the outage at work. I know i have the mac crowdstrike client though. My buddy that works at a hospital says they wernt affected.

@movq This outage did affect me, though not much, via the university where my wife teaches and where I teach sometimes. They actually sent out an alert in their emergency alert system (the one they use to alert people of extreme weather events and bomb threats, mostly), telling people that all IT systems were down.
A friend of mine elsewhere pointed out that they pushed this change on a Friday, which of course no software developer with any experience would ever, ever, ever do. I have to assume there's some toxic management at CrowdStrike, but who knows. Even more reasons to sympathize with the poor folks who are probably going to be working nights and weekends to clean up this mess.
@mckinley Hmmmmm, yeah, sounds like jabber is not the right thing for us then.
@aelaraji To be honest, I don’t like Matrix that much myself. We don’t use any of the fancy crypto features and all that, no federation either. And clients like “FluffyChat” look and feel pretty much like any other chat client. It’s a rather simple setup. Problem is just that it’s not WhatsApp and *people want WhatsApp*, nothing else. 🫤 (Hence I have little hope that Signal would be a big success.)

The nasty thing is: Sysadmins don’t decide this, do they? The management does. And *they* don’t have to clean up this bloody fucking mess.

@prologic One of these days I'll turn off registrations
@movq Somewhere or another, I think in a William Byrd talk, I heard it suggested that the best ideas in computer science should fit on an index card (ah yes it's this one: https://paperswelove.org/2017/video/will-byrd-most-beautiful-program/ ). He was referring to the basic principles of LISP/the lambda calculus, which have sometimes been called the Maxwell's equations of computer programming (by Alan Kay). Simple, short, elegant, but very densely packed with meaning--generations of people have spent their whole careers unpacking what those simple rules can do.
Much of modern software feels like the polar opposite of that. Not only can you not write it on an index card, you never will be able to because people who write software don't seem to aspire to try. I wish more people thought this way though!
@New_scientist It's insane that a single botched software update can have worldwide impact. We've messed up badly.
@prologic @movq Haha, didn't affect me or my direct workmates either. But our scrummie logged off with BSOD and another workmate also told me to have already experienced three with successful reboots, though. Another branch was completely offline and I heard rumors about factories being shut down, too.

This is exactly what's going to happen, movq. Zero lessons learned. No consequences. Maybe just a bit more snake oil on top.
