Their branding sucks. Their website / landing page sucks. Their UX / UI sucks. I like the technology behind it though. I'll try to contact someone to see whether I can work for them (with them) for free, or as a volunteer (UI / UX / Web & Product Designer). They deserve better. There's a chance!

Thx! Heard about it already. I'll do a personal analysis and I'll report.

Oh yea, I know that there are technical difficulties considering the decentralization. But why aren't we working on it now? Dunno what we're waiting for. Mass adoption?

Re:Zoom needs to clean up its privacy act on Friday March 27, 2020 @04:55PM (#22706802)

Zoom needs to fuck off. This is apologism. We need open source and decentralized solution and we need to shut up. I'm tired of this.

That'd be actually lovely. Not a bad idea. Start from scratch. Rethink everything. Like in the 70s. Create stuff like UNIX, etc. There's a lot that needs fresh thinkin'. But ... there's nothing like that happening at all. Seriously. Gen Z are not picking-up at all, have no idea, depend on us. And that's real bad (for the future).

Ask HN: Are We Seriously Done?

from the ask-hn dept.

I mean, look at the state of the SW industry. Startups and everything.You know? That's it. I've seen more than 20 YRs of it. I'm still current but for what? Where does it lead? I'm no oldschooler. There was an ideal of future - 10 years ago maybe? Let's reflect the state that led us to ... What? We don't even know now. Where do we head now? Current gens (Gen Z) have no idea. Do we?
