Just let things die is my opinion. It’s much nicer here.

Yeah, but I know your username. Because you’re the person posting all that stuff I read. So, thanks ;)

Still gonna squat on to the domain though.

Is there a self hosted slack-like that has a mobile app

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Is there self hosting?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Is there a decent client? Desktop and mobile?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Subscription to self host? lol. Am I missing something?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Why are they charging?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

I’ll pay a flat fee.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

I’ll pay a flat fee, but not a per user fee.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

I have 400 users though.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

It’s a business with 300 users, but only about 50 of them would even use it. The others DO need accounts for the one time per month they login. But with their pricing, and SSO plan, that’s $3000/m

What.. the.. fuck.

I am in the wrong business lol.

I still have a 128mb usb drive with alpine.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

I dunno. It is a company branded swag gift. Got it like 20 or so years ago when I found it on the ground. Still works. Slow as heck.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Is this the same one as a few days ago, or a second?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

For less probably.

It’s a common practice for companies to lay off high priced employees and then post those jobs for a lower amount. Why would they go back? If they’re smart they won’t. But some people need a job—at least until they can find another job.

It’s a bad practice either way, because these employees won’t ever feel their job is secure again, and that makes them care less about how the company does… as it should.

You’d be surprised how many people lack negotiation skills. They think whatever is offered is what they get. I’ve coached many coworkers on how to play hardball with a smile.

Damn right. I love my company, but we have the money to pay well. I don’t want anyone working with me who feels like they are underpaid. We moved offices and it became a much longer commute for one of our juniors. I kept harassing my manger to give him a bump for the effort. He wouldn’t have taken the job with that commute, so we had to sweeten it for him. My manager said “his review is 6 months away” and I said “it’s not a raise, it’s for the inconvenience to his life.” Got him 10%—and got none of the credit, haha. But that’s okay, I feel good.

Wow I haven’t used Word in 20 years. They had this problem the whole time?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

That really was a good program.

Just that name makes me shudder.

I want to work from home, at least part time, but the other two developers we have need quite a bit of handholding. They are good people and I want to keep them around, but if left to their own devices they would not work at all.

How can I get to the point where we can all work from home part time, without spending half of my day micromanaging them or keeping them on a WebCam just to be sure they’re working? I definitely don’t want to do that shit.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

I’ll read that, but fuck you. Blaming me, a developer on the same level as them, is not cool. I’m not on my phone all day. I’m not taking 20 breaks. I’m not playing with my dog at home instead of working. It’s not a ME issue. This is literally the most open and supportive company I’ve worked for, and I’ve worked at some shitty places.

The rope. I’m afraid they will immediately hang themselves. They’re juniors, they need guidance. It’s difficult to guide people over Slack.

We do need better tasks created, and since we don’t have a proper PM, that usually falls on me. We aren’t a deadline oriented company. We all know what the project is. You take the time you need to make it happen. But historically, they have been waiting until the last minute to make the product and it comes back buggy. I’d be less concerned about what they do with their time if everything was spot-on. It’s getting a lot better, but not to where I’m comfortable just letting them loose.

Especially Juniors who are great when they are focused, but can easily get distracted.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

And when goals aren’t met?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

This is good advice, thank you. But HR… ugh I hate that.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

They do need to learn. They’re fine once you explain it. Mostly it’s issues with the bigger picture, not just a single task. We try to let them take a whole project from back to front. That includes database and api design. Sometimes it’s great, but often they are way over complicating things. K.I.S.S.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

That’s one way to do it.

Accidentally? Man these writers will suck any corporate dick.

I really liked the new Final Cut camera, and the new additions to the Pencil.

What are some things that are “cut down” to you? Understanding that it’s not a desktop OS, and it’s not supposed to be?

why the quote markdown?

Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine's unstoppable force.

Have you heard the music they made from programming floppy drives to read music at different speeds?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Aww good for you, my dude. But it’s pretty mean to say that other people, who have music inside them, should be denied. Not all music made using technology is 100% digital anyway. It’s a studio in your home. It allows people who aren’t able to go into a studio, for whatever reason, to produce near-professional music.

Here’s a thought, if you don’t want to listen to music created using an Apple product, then… don’t.

I’ll get off your lawn now. 😅

Having arms to play a guitar.

I think a lot of people here are confused and angry at clouds.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Assuming you’re being condescending, some people don’t have the physical capability to plan an instrument. That should stop them from having apps to create music just because a small handful of people who dislike Apple are offended by a commercial that was largely computer generated.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

If you point is that Apple makes great products that enable users to be creative with few limits, but like every corporation there are things to complain about… then yes, we are on the same page, my dude.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

So offended.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

You say from your shitty technological device. Hypocrite

Clearly they shouldn’t be allowed to have an iPad right?
