. I just started working in IT and I am a bit worried if I were to restrict myself from using it. I definitely don’t want to stick with using ChatGPT,
Don’t worry, the hype will pass soon. LLMs are the new crypto.
… Pyramid Schemes > Forex > ETFs > Crypto > LLMs > ?? those influencers have got to sell something.
Define “negative way”… GNOME changes in negative ways in a weekly basis so… Notification DDoS? :P
They might have done their stats and figured out that only 0.0000001% of their users would benefit from it and there weren’t much profit there to make.
“After years of pushing their proprietary and closed solutions to privacy minded people Proton decided that it was in their best interest to further bury said users into their service as a form of vendor lock-in. To achieve this they made yet anoter non-standard groupware feature - a document editor.
I have an online business. How f*cked am I ?
Very f*cked. Advertising forces you to sell your data to those companies in order to get decent results, if you try to go around it you’ll be losing customers, that’s what it is.
. For one, there’s comparatively zero users across XMPP anyways, and it has a big problem with compatibility across different software packages.
This isn’t a problem, the problem is that we lack decent clients. XMPP is the most standardized thing ever, both the core thing and extensions are covered by RFCs but currently there isn’t much investment into creating solid clients.
server operators unknowingly hosting copies of it across the world.
Well, at least a properly configured XMPP server with the relevant extensions won’t be a metadata clusterfuck like Matrix is. Nor it will be centered around a spec and software made by a single for profit organization.
Then there’s the privacy and GDPR minefields that come with any decentralized/federated service.
Email is federated and nobody is complaining about it.
Matrix is developed by a for profit entity, a group of venture capitalists and having a spec doesn’t mean everything. The way Matrix is designed is to force into jumping through hoops and kind of draw all attention to Matrix itself instead of the end result.
XMPP is the true and the OG federated and truly open solution that is very extensible. XMPP is tested, reliable, secure and above all a truly open standard and decentralized it just lacks some investment in better mobile clients.
What people fail to see is that XMPP is the only solution that treats messaging and video like email: just provide an address and the servers and clients will cooperate with each other in order to maintain a conversation. Everything else is just an attempt at yet another vendor lock-in.
People need to get this through their heads, XMPP is the only solution for their problems.
Instead of wasting money into making yet another protocol, closed system etc. what about just work on a cross platform XMPP client that actually supports everything and has a decent UI. For eg. iOS clients are all shit. Without decent clients and push notifications people won’t be using XMPP ever.
@Skooshjones@vlemmy.net @oranki@sopuli.xyz @Andere@lemmy.ml I’m replying this to you all.
Here is the thing, I would love to have NC working decently but I’ve test almost all of their releases on the past year and the issues are always the same. Here is my main complaints:
I do have a lot of complaints related to mail but if NC is any kind of useful replacement for MS365 / Google Workplace a decently working webmail is the bare minimum. RoundCube is WAY better than what NC is currently offering.
I spent weeks researching and trying to tweak things and at the end of the day NC always performs poorly. Most of the issues seem to be related to the poorly implemente WebUI but the desktop app also has issues with large folders. Also tried the docker version, the “all in one” similar results it simply doesn’t cut it.
My production setup runs on Red NAS drives and the thing just flies, always solid, stable and reliable. Here is the real production setup for around 30 users:
Both FileBrowser and Baikal were modified to authenticate against the IMAP server and create accounts automatically if the username/password check out.
I’m deploying this to the user’s machines via Ansible and/or iOS/macOS profiles so most things are automated by now. To onboard a new user I simply have to create the email account and then run the playbooks.
My future investments will be:
Although this setup still misses some important stuff (aka replace Zoom) and I’ve been working on it for a while it outperforms NC in all ways so far. The investment was totally worth it.
I really hoped that NC would do all those things properly and I still try new releases but it doesn’t seem to get any better.
NextCloud: mostly hyped BS, fails to deliver at every turn, certainly NOT suited for professional usage.
For a website hosted at Cloudflare I was expecting to see it there 😂
