Re:Everyone Has Email. Nobody Uses It Right on Sunday November 01, 2026 @10:12AM (#50326399)
well, back in 2012 i thought like this. now slack is way worse than email has ever been. with email, it's a least customary to think through your message, not sending 10 sentences one by one.
at least at 16:30 a lego store on passeig de gracia announced that there was a demonstration starting and they were closing and police was everywhere around so looks like it was a planned protest rather than just some unexpected tiktok looting flashmob
