Why does every cautionary dystopian sci-fi tale from the past 75 years somehow become a startup's business plan?

TIL about another community on Slack who is now being asked to pay thousands to preserve basic functionality 😬

Proprietary tools that offer a lot for free, without fail, will squeeze you. And unfortunately, because of their nature, a lot gets left behind when you inevitably migrate.

When we select tools for our communities, we need to think over longer time horizons.

FOSS options like Matrix for chat and Discourse for forums are the better bet.

@Daojoan you have to read them in their original Klingon.

There's a Russian word "zhabogadyuking" ("frog-rattlesnake-ing") which describes a situation when entities whom you actively dislike are fighting with each other.

@brian Here's ours, probably. It's coming to Canada this year. https://www.vw.com/en/models/id-buzz.html

@brian Annoyingly, charging is one thing Tesla did really well compared to everyone else. Hopefully, we'll soon be out of the "3 different plugs and 12 different networks operating at 5 different KW loads" morass we're currently in.

I still don't like Teslas in snowy subzero temperatures -- some of the design decisions were clearly made by people who have never lived in a cold climate and don't have to worry that there may be solid ice on the door window or door handles may be frozen shut. Our next car will probably be some other EV.

@brian As someone who has owned an EV in Canada for the past 9 years, I call bull on this story. An EV is no less likely to work in cold temperatures than an ICEV.

@gregkh separately as in "in a separate email sent 0.12 seconds later"?

@Cjust it's a great umask for that purpose, though.

@ironiridis @nivex it's probably just a Fastly misconfiguration. If you send an email to helpdesk@kernel.org, I'll try to fix that tomorrow.

@securepaul @brauner Yes, this would call the web endpoint, which would do the actual thread retrieval and mailing.

The "watch" part is a bit more involved, because that would require monitoring a thread for updates, but to just send out a thread to an address would be easy.

@brauner @securepaul Stupidly, Gmail doesn't make it easy to put things into your inbox using the API. If I wanted to write a script that would upload a thread from lore into your Gmail inbox, I would need to first get a developer API token (in my name, or in LF's name), then you as a user of my script would need to OAuth, during which Google will say "do you allow Konstantin full write access to your mailbox," the only sensible answer to which is "heck no."

@securepaul @brauner I did consider adding "b4 watch <msgid>" that would email you the full thread and all updates to it.

@yura yes, I enjoyed it. Doesn't take very long, but it was a very relaxing weekend afternoon.

Still nothing compared to the bajillion X-MS-* headers set by outlook.

Pardon the header bloat -- we've added ARC signing to all our mailing list messages in order to appease Gmail's new requirements.
