Oh, there could be a massive list here, but as tiny exemplar - try zooming in to see something in the corner of an image shared while you're on a video call. You could, before they invented "Huddles", an even shittier version of the video calls feature it had before, but now you can't.

I guess you also haven't been hit yet by the "every message is a new message even if I'm the one that just sent it and it's right there on screen in the channel I still have open because I sent it" bug yet. When you do, I'm afraid the only fix is to individually sign out of every Slack you're in, delete the app, delete every file it's ever created in ~/Library/, reinstall the app, re-sign-in to every Slack again.

Ironically, I've suffered less since using Clod.

It says "Connect with your current messaging provider" and then never mentions that ability again. What does that look like?

Personally, I absolutely despise what Slack has become and would love to replace it, but I can't see anything about this app that might persuade me or my coworkers to install it.

Why not just block TechCrunch? Everything about it is appalling.

Just as a heads up, most people consider a Bending Spoons buyout as the death of a product - if they buy something you use a lot, start looking for an alternative as soon as possible.

I tested this theory on a short drive to the bakery yesterday by counting the Teslas and Chinese brands coming in the opposite direction. Even I was surprised that the result was 3 Teslas to 23 Chinese brands (not including the western brands now Chinese owned like Volvo, Polestar, Jaguar Landrover etc., though I did include MG as they basically just bought the badge in that case).

All of those, plus the fact that I regularly find 1Password using 12GB of RAM.

Email is the worst of all worlds.

Thatcher sold the UK's off to her cronies.

Ah interesting, thanks for the extra context.

Ah sorry, I've been toying with moving to Proton for their password manager because I despise what 1Password has become so I think I just assumed everyone was recommending Fastmail because they have a comparable suite of apps. I maybe got over excited that there might be a decent alternative.

What's their password manager like?

True. I think the entire article might just be a boast that the author took some DMT.

This works for me without DMT.

Indeed. It's a smart strategy by the CCP, a brand battle royale until only the strongest survive. Given the way things have happened in the past though, I suspect what we'll see is Geely and Chery buying out the ones that fail until there's just those two giants and a few niche players who'll likely be domestic market only.

I had to type `wtf is candy corn?` into Kagi. It sounds disgusting without needing to know there's bug juice in there.

Jaecoo have had the best selling model in the UK for two or three months running now. I have no idea how you managed to lose your bet. My experience is closer to the parent post - pull into any car park in the UK and you'll count more Chinese EVs than Teslas, often you can count more Jaecoo or BYD than Tesla.

Slight nitpick - "the Chinese EVs that make the Western market are generally the budget/barebones models outside of the high-end BYD stuff" - what makes you say this? I follow the Chinese car market a fair bit and the high end marques are generally making it to western markets, even Voyah.

We're in the boom or bust years for the Chinese manufacturers. There's clearly a few fairly safe brands like BYD or anything Geely owned - they're not going away, but the smaller brands are a little bit of a gamble. I say this as someone with a hankering for an Xpeng X9. I saw a report [0] a couple of days ago that the profit margin across the Chinese car industry is at a record low 1.4% which would suggest to me that we're probably going to lose a few of the smaller brands pretty soon.

They're not. It was a bit of spurious guesswork by Mark Gurman, and we all know how those guesses end up.

Why would anyone touch their screen? Madness.

Please turn over?

Have you had any issues with deliverability? Whenever I consider self-hosting email I think about the number of comments I've seen on HN saying don't.

Putin told them to say so.

You're a good person with good intentions. Hope you get some rest sir.

This comment made my day, beautiful.

Sadly not. There were an awful lot of credulous comments in the threads on here.

More like an advert really.

Does "loss leader" mean something different here?

A lot of people in the replies here unable to conceive of buying some from a shop and then taking them on the flight themselves, therefore bypassing the need to prioritise Delta. Unbelievable.
