@skyguy i don't think "for non-geeks" is a useful way to categorize communications technology. the reason "non-geeks" use stuff like slack is being of concerted marketing efforts, not because they are functionally better.

matrix is attempting to be a competitor to slack. but slack was designed to centralize and replace IRC. they even pulled embrace, extend, extinguish by taking down their IRC protocol support a while back.

if i had a choice, the "replacement" would be IRC or XMPP.

> Benefits Of Open Office Not Extended To CEO

> “I feel so bad that he doesn’t get to enjoy the intense collaborative synergy of this work environment the way the rest of us do,” said junior developer Megan Chen, one of three dozen DigiMax employees who spends the entirety of her workday sitting within arm’s reach of her colleagues at a long, unpartitioned table, and is unable to look up from her laptop without risking a moment of awkward eye contact.

re: Assange, complicated opinion 

It's frustrating to see takes on this that assert that "he should be extradited to Sweden, not America" because there's no reason he COULDN'T ALSO be extradited there for trial regarding the _other_ crimes, now that he's not in the Ecuador embassy in London.

Asserting him as some sort of hero who revealed the US military's war crimes, when it was Chelsea who took the brunt of the blame for doing it, is... Hurtful in a way I can't really describe.

re: Assange, complicated opinion 

I think Assange should be tried for this. But it should not have been at the expense of Chelsea Manning via the grand jury summons.

If Assange asked her to hack the account password, then the accusation that Assange exploited Chelsea becomes crystal clear obvious.

Assange, complicated opinion 

Assange is being extradited on conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, not for exposing war crimes. It's the distinction between him asking Chelsea to hack a computer, versus him asking Chelsea to send his way any more documents that she found from her own hacking, that puts his journalistic protection into question.

Which raises the question again about the idea that Assange personally exploited a vulnerable Chelsea for his own political motivations.

The Event Horizon Telescope, incidentally, is a fantastic example of a large scale decentralised non-governmental collaboration.

That black hole image was taken using 8 separately managed radio telescopes scattered across the planet. It was organised by scientists working in 60 different research institutes in 17 countries across 6 continents. With no motive beyond trying to learn something which they didn't know before.

LB: Yeah yeah I know that's via Hacker News, but oh DANG:

chanind.github.io/china/2019/0 :
In China’s tech sector a peculiar uprising has begun: workers are demanding to be treated fairly. Even more fascinating is that the medium by which this movement is taking shape is via a single Github repo, which at the time of writing has over 200,000 stars making it one of Github’s most popular repos of all time.

Web pattern gripes 

This pattern is one of the most annoying patterns on the web. "Sign In" is low priority or almost hidden, so often I end up clicking the "Sign Up" button when I just want to interact with the website.

imo, your current users should be just as important as your future users - thus you should have signing in be on similar priority to signing up.

→ @Elizafox@vulpine.club

If anyone can help, we need some help covering our bills and HRT for @desvox and @plausocks after a really expensive trip to get the last of @plausocks stuff from Connecticut.

We still have to go get the last of it, but it's not as urgent as before, so we can work in the meantime as opposed to waiting eternally in limbo.
