This is the first time I have seen about dozen new Signal contacts; but the question is how many of those dozen contacts are initiating messages through Signal and receiving messages in Signal from the newly signed-up users?
I have sandboxed WhatsApp in a separate machine and receive its messages through email[1] and I still receive WhatsApp messages from the aforementioned contacts.
Things would have changed if WhatsApp locked out the profiles(incl. me) who didn't accept the T&C on Feb 8; but now with that gone I don't think there's really going to be any change.
I do. Self host at my work. Less than 4 his effort for initial setup and an hour or two when I want to upgrade. Super clean and helpful docs makes it a breeze to self host
Can you explain what's crappy about OneDrive. I've not used dropbox much but it looked/worked similar to onedrive. Just trying to understand the problems I'm unable to recognize by not using dropbox
I own and use Office365 home edition as well as Business Essentials account and use OneDrive from both accounts
OneDrive does nothing well. The syncing app is incredibly slow to pickup changes, often stalls or results in conflicts, and the MacOS version is much worse than the Windows version. The web UI is built from parts of Sharepoint and is slow and unintuitive.
Things have improved in the last year but you would have to use the other apps to really see the difference. Dropbox is still ahead of the others in terms of syncing tech with apps that reliably update changes within seconds. I can save a file and have the latest status reflected by the time I switch over to my browser and refresh the web UI.
Thank you for the insight. I will give dropBox a try.
I currently don't have automatic Syncing enabled on my desktop which explains why I could not see Onedrive the way you did.
I read it to mean "but will continue to donate to, and advise the organization..." when I first read it but unable to do so after reading your comment. Not sure if this phenomena has a name for it.
I currently use the web app and phone app from http://hn.premii.com/ I just installed HNBuddy, It's equally good. I'll use it for few days before I decide to switch.
What I will miss from Premii app if/when I switch.
By default, Loads article in Text(pocket/readibility) mode instead of actual web page. 90% of the links I click are articles (save for the Show HN )
Integration with pocket to save articles for offline reading.
Ability to choose Navigation position. I place it at the top so i don't see it when scrolling up and reading stuff down/below
Another feature that's missing on all the apps I tried, Ability to share(to pocket) without actually opening/loading the article. As an example, An article PaulG, I want to instantly share/save without actually loading it in the app.
I had planned to integrate Pocket.. I don't know why I forgot about it.
Note though that:
1. There's a built in "reader" equivalent to pocket/readability. I actually open-sourced this module [1]. It uses MercuryApi (the successor of Readability) [2]
2. it's possible to bookmark articles: this action saves them even for offline reading (you have to open/load the articles at least once though).
Concerning your last idea, I find it difficult to integrate it in the current UI without overwhelming it. Maybe if I add an option (as it was suggested in another comment) to choose between a "detailed" and a "dense" list, then I'll think to this feature.
Is there an FOSS alternative to LinqPad with any of the same features? I'd prefer to support open source but if non-free software's much better I'll probably just go with that.
Well, scriptcs sounds somewhat analogous. Similar REPL for C#, allows for packaged scripts, plays nicer with the filesystem than an IDE (which you'd expect for command-line apps). http://scriptcs.net/
Note: I've tried to use scriptcs, but the extent of my C# knowledge consists of pretending it's Java. But people do seem to compare it to LINQPad, so maybe it fits.
Linqpad's amazing "dump" isn't to be found in scriptcs or anywhere else, so far as I'm aware, however. Which really does make working with a C# REPL a million times nicer.
Agree - WhatsApp didn't lose the user. whatsApp lost the usage. That's still a loss. Not a total loss but a loss never the less
