I was like "oh common, that can't be a real comment, it's obvious to everyone how unstable this still is", then I saw that the comment was from Arathorn.

You know, for half of the time you spend commenting over here to save face (or something), you could work with your users and see their firsthand experience for yourself.


this is me working with my users and trying to understand their firsthand experience for myself :)

Literally no better audience to do this work on than places like here.

Or maybe the mindless rush to host it in azure?

Or both!

From your comment I wanted to give Niagara a try, most useful features are apparently behind a pay wall, and that was completely fine... Until google asked me for my credit card details for the 7-days trial. This is probably none of Niagara's fault, but enough of a discouragement for me to give it a real chance.

And XMPP. Which probably will remain a better Matrix than Matrix ever will be, the venture capital put aside, that is.

It's so slow because it's so badly designed as a protocol, E2E isn't really the problem (the slowness is roughly equivalent for non-encrypted rooms)

Oh, that crap again.


Yeah, and once the precedent is settled, you can bet that the private sector will follow, and give birth to a bunch of local service companies to deploy and support those solutions in an healthier and fairer manner than the current GSuite/MSOffice duopoly.

Is this true though? There are tons of policies and procedures the US government has required for decades that never got adopted by the private sector.

OS will be cheaper. No monopoly rendite + development across more shoulders.

One more reason it sucks to be American? I know of several counties where that violates more than a couple labour and constitutional laws.

The Netherlands is peculiar in that cyclists reclaimed their rights to the cities by kicking cars out of them.

Cars haven't been kicked out of cities in the Netherlands.


Removing cars from a street or two and decreasing the number of lanes on many streets is a far cry from "kicking cars out of cities"

The above-linked protests led to re-drawing urban development plans for most major Dutch cities with the effect of reducing the prevalence (and necessity) of cars in city centers. Whole housing blocks were getting destroyed as to build highways, canals were dried so cars could run in their place. All that was undone, and more, and nowadays Dutch cities are a shining example of how liveable urban centers are with fewer/close to no cars. Those are well documented facts, I don't know what you are even arguing about.

Fewer cars. not no cars

So we are playing semantics. I don't think "Kicking-out" is universally understood as "getting rid of the entirety of something", you are encouraged to prove me wrong, I certainly don't care enough to die on this hill.

It doesn't matter whether it's universally understood. It matters whether it is commonly understood. You're communicating with a wide variety of readers on the internet.

You're also using the type of phrasing hyperbole that the anti-bike-lane zealots use.


Happy to throw some of mine for that. Scala may not be as popular as some other languages, but it's relevant for use cases as diverse as those for which you would otherwise use Java/C#/Go, JS/TS, C/C++/Rust (via scala-jvm, scala-js and scala-native), and it's a very nice language to work with at that.
