I'd be pretty annoyed if it was burning my Claude Code quota.
So far it's burned through 45% my design quota. On a positive note, I finally have my fonts rendering. I'm still waiting for it to figure out how it mangled the SVG versions of my logo. I've watched it trying a lot of stuff for 20 minutes and now I've got something that's not my logo.
I know it is against the ToS. I've reported multiple organisations doing this. Last time I reported one, support closed the ticket saying the activity is off platform so they can't do anything.
> This seems more like having several random contractors who you've never met coming into your business in the middle of night. [...] Agencies that routinely swap workers into or out of various roles at your company without asking or telling you, so you don't have any idea who the person working in the office is, what they're doing, or even if they're supposed to be there.
Sounds very similar to how global SIs staff enterprise IT contracts.
It isn't unheard of for 2 companies to announce a shutdown on the same day. What is less common is for them to both announce it on the same day and last day isn't 4 weeks/30 days.
When I saw this announcement after seeing pocket earlier, I immediately started to wonder if there was a regulatory change on 8 July.
+1 for (eventually) baking it ty into ruff. In my mind static type checking is a form of linting.
For years I pushed black for formatting code. Once formatting was baked into ruff I ditched black. Having fewer dependencies to track and update simplifies my life and shortens my dependabot queue.
When moving countries it can be difficult if not impossible to retain your existing phone number. In some parts of the world moving states means changing your mobile number.
Most telcos “recycle” deactivated numbers after a period of time. This often as short as 6 to 12 months after the owner’s credit expires. I’ve found it increasingly common for a prepaid local SIM number to be tied to a previous owner’s accounts on popular services.
It feels more like social media/sharing app than something suited to a business environment. Email, scheduling, chat and document sharing are must haves in a modern business. Hubzilla lacks all but one of these.
Over two decades ago I started worked on open source groupware projects. I moved on about 15 years ago. Back then it was all about building an open source alternative to MS Exchange (or Novell GroupWise). Today little has changed.
In the early days it was mostly PHP and Perl front ends for a MySQL database and various daemons. The mid 00s saw a new batch of solutions emerge such as OpenXchange, Zimbra and OpenGroupWare.org. SOGo traces its roots to OpenGroupWare.org. Google Apps, which went on to become G Suite and finally Google Workspace launched around the same time.
When looking at most of the products in this space today, including M365, Google Workspace and the various open source offerings, I don’t need much innovation in terms of features. The core product is still email, calendar, todos and notes. There have been compounding incremental improvements in these features, but haven’t been any big ground breaking changes.
Today Google and Microsoft bundles their “office” apps and “groupware” apps into a single integrated offering. I don’t see an open source product that comes close to either of them. The self hosted / on prem offerings are servicing a shrinking niche.
I keep watching this space, but I have given up expecting to see any significant changes.
