For anyone else having issues with their headsets muting/unmuting like crazy on Desktop:

Go to your chat client settings, then to voice, and disable "gain control", it's being misinterpreted as mute/unmute by many headsets.

#Datadog combined structured metadata from its incident management app with #Slack messages to create an LLM-driven functionality assisting engineers in composing incident postmortems.

Datadog believes LLMs won't fully replace human insight (yet!).

Revolutionizing Debugging: The Rise of Self-Help in Software Development

In a world where collaboration tools dominate, developers are finding innovative ways to troubleshoot their code. The modern twist on 'rubber duck debugging' through self-messaging on platforms like S...

WOOHOOO! My recharge of #slack is here, praise “Bob” ! Thank you @onan !!

Every new #Discord or #Slack community is another nail in the coffin of the #internet.

Can somebody explain to me why these ugly, overloaded, corporate-owned and search-engine-hostile silos are so popular?

Here are four tools for creating, supporting, and enriching communities of practice: peer conferences, listservs, Slack, and Zoom

Wie gehst Du mit der #Messenger Vielfalt um?

Jede Gruppe ein anderes Tool: #Threema, #Signal, #Telegram, #Whatsapp… sowie die vielen Plattform internen #Chats auf #LinkedIn, #Teams, #Slack, #Nextcloud…

#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

• It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.

• It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!

I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.

• And I'd rather subscribe to the #LKML and see my inbox getting hosed than using any shitty #SaaS!

Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.

I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools

• Public Chat? IRC!
• Group Voicechat? Mumble.
• #Documentation? #mkDocs-material.
• 1:1 Chats? XMPP+OMEMO.
• E2EE Group Chats? #deltaChat.
• E2EE Calls? #WebCall.
• Filehosting? #IPFS, #BitTorrent, oshi.at, etc. ...
• …

Check @alternativeto and @european_alternatives for options.

@blaise @radicle @zulip Fully agree!

Hard to go back to the messiness of #slack / #discord after indulging in #Zulip !

Extreme pinkness, utterly devoid of Slack and fighting to destroy it in others.

Vous en avez marre des limitations de la fonctionnalité de recherche de Slack ?

Connaissez-vous Framateam ? Basé sur le logiciel libre #Mattermost, cette plateforme de discussion est très similaire à #Slack.

En revanche, comme #Framateam est entièrement gratuit grâce à vos dons, nous ne limitons pas les fonctionnalités pour vous pousser à prendre un compte premium !

Votre organisation devrait apprécier !

Go home #slack , you are drunk.

Interesting reflection on the landscape of #chat systems from @wireapp .

Indeed it shows that there's a lot of progress still to be done and that consumer social networks may need differentiation.

What is shimmering in all this is the wish to have tools that are able to speak to various security levels... The mail apps do this mostly. The landscape is by far more advanced and more nuanced.

I've heard the arguments for why some people don't like #Slack threads but I really find it hard to keep track of unthreaded conversations in slack workspaces if there are more than a couple of screenfuls worth of stuff per day ...
I've just joined one channel that literally has the channel description as "No threads, please."

Slack draait op de achtergrond, ik zie berichten binnenkomen, maar ik kan er niet bij want deze versie is "not supported".
De nieuwe versie kan niet op mijn oudere Android. En nieuwere Androids kunnen niet op m'n oude telefoon (die verder nog als een zonnetje werkt).
Dit is dus het einde.
Van Slack op de telefoon welteverstaan.
En niet omdat het niet werkt, maar gewoon beleid.
