yeah, it's fine for me - probably as good as an electron app can get (def not good as a true native app but it's def better than having to use my phone...)
What was the last successful French software project in the Telecom or Conferencing space?
This project has been forced into the hands of 40k users, but likely due to a plethora of bugs and user experience issues they are picking a date far in the future for broad deployment.
Belledonne Communications has been actively breaking Linphone, conference calling broke back in August 2023 for example and remains broken to this day.
If we look to Québécoise in Canada, SFLPhone would crash after 2 dozen calls, and Jami (formerly GNU Ring) is still a beta quality product with some neat DHT concepts that I'd love to see work.
The French sphere has a software delivery and quality problem. The user rejection factor will remain high until they choose to fix the bugs that cause users to run away.
Idk, VLC is kinda everywhere and while not the super cutting edge of video playing anymore, is still pretty OK. If they'd just attach a chat and SIP client to VLC they'd be set.
I don't know what's the ETA on VLC 4 but it's been entirely usable for me for the past year, and it's pretty cutting edge (internally). Hopefully it's not too long before we'll see beta releases.
And you seriously are saying Teams is the greatest thing since sliced bread? Ok I concede the videoconferencing works, but it's quite a feat to make a text chat window so slow and buggy. Sometimes when I type, it is spelling stuff backwards!
Message texting is a solved problem since IRC or ICQ
All large organizations are political. Some employees choose to ignore the office politics, but that choice might find their management not ensuring they survive the next round of layoffs.
A simple modern Dotnet monolith with Postgres on a Linux server could deliver a much better end user experience, and it probably would take a lot less server resources than the current mess.
Monoliths generally server side render. Server side rendering is fast, consistent and performant, the state of the client won't get into wonky territory since they are a button click away from getting current, known good state from the server.
That’s not a microservice vs monolith thing. That’s a client-side single-page app vs server-side rendering thing. Although, granted, I more often see microservice architectures with single-page apps than with server-side rendering.
There is plenty a browser could do to compete, from blocking modern popups (which now occur within the window, putting a gradient over the content forcing you to interact with their "subscribe to our mailing list" or "join our site to socialize" prompt that you would have to waste time clicking past, auto-pausing looping videos in unfocused tabs, throttling crypto mining tabs, providing uBlock Origin, handling WiFi Terms of Service click through, etc.
Think of the plethora of instances where you wish your browser made minor changes to make browsing easier
Nobody posts anything “quality” on there whatsoever. Its complete pablum.
I imagine if the posts on LinkedIn inspire someone, that they probably are they kind of person to have a lot of “live laugh love” word art on their walls as well.
Is there a switch to turn off the social media/posting element on linkedin altogether? I don't see why I should be spending my time engaging with their algorithm just so it's bearable to use
Just don't open the home page except to navigate to the specific thing you need and when you do, don't look at the slop? The social media/posting element of linkedin is totally disconnected from the useful part of the site and you can just ignore it.
The replacement parts aren't cheap either as Framework has very little used parts market.
I can rehouse a Thinkpad or most other high volume laptops for a quarter or less the cost of a Framework, making the total lifetime cost much lower. Framework will sell you a new housing with screen for $399, but at that point I can buy an 11th gen Thinkpad for half the cost.
I want the economics to work, but even with free labor it makes no sense.
You can schedule a 911 test call. "Test calls can be scheduled by contacting your local 911 call center via its non-emergency phone number." [0] More info here:[1]
Phone makers (and even their supply chain partners) operate their own in-building cell networks with carrier-type hardware, and extensive debugging and observability, including simulation of multiple towers and location.
It wouldn’t get you 100% E2{ for 911 testing, but it does let you develop and test the stack extensively before taking it to the real world and scheduled testing coordinated with 911 call centers.
Always look at the 10 year cost of a domain. Add everything to cart that is interesting, crank the term up to 10 years then pick what seems the most reasonable.
Yes, that's what I find interesting about this. It's $3/year for first year and renewal, and you can do up to 10 years. It's also from a reputable registrar not one you've never heard of.
