Probably it’s just me getting old, but #Slack and #Trello have degraded in usability over the last years.

- Trello: boards, workspaces, favorites, recently seen, guest workspaces, search, the mixed notification bar. ➡️ Too many ways to find (or rather not) what you are looking for. No clear hierarchy. #Atlassian 👀

- Slack: (named) channels, unnamed "multi-DM" "channels", DMs, threads, mentions & reactions; (shared slacks); ⚠️ threads that appear split-screen next to an unrelated channel – wtf⁉️

@usul i've been using maildir in TB for many many years and never run into any of the bugs (maybe I didn't notice, maybe I didn't try hard enough). I was simply surprised about its state. Now that I'm aware, let's see if I can contribute a bit.

@ajroach42 absolutely. I can definitely see both sides. I wanted to say: they probably were as mindless as we were. I mean, I *know* how it’s bad behavior to do that, but sometimes … I wouldn't assume mal-intent, I guess.

@rstockm Bei Peter Jackson biste bei mir leider raus 😬 Nix für ungut :D Aber, wie gesagt, Herzblut und Intensität fehlt manchmal. Ich gucke generell eher wenig; die aktuellsten Dinge zu denen ich Meinung™: hab Picard 1. Staffel: sehr meh, beliebig, unausgegoren. // Mandalorian: echt ganz nett; aber Staffel 2 war jede Folge Schema-F. Haben es nicht zu Ende geschaut. // Expanse fand ich super; letzte Staffel nicht mehr so fokussiert, aber war okay-würdiges Ende.

@ajroach42 Interesting perspective of a coffee shop owner. I don't know the folks obviously, but I'd say be more lenient with them.

Short anecdote: my family (5p) stopped at a bistro last summer; outside; bikes, hot day; while we checked the menu (we were 99% determined to eat there) we mindlessly put our bottle (tap water!) on the table; we sat down. Grandpa went inside to order. The owner asked us to leave because HOW DARE we drink our own water while staying at his place. Not nice at all.

@rstockm Ok, mit Nostalgie bin ich natürlich ins Fettnäppchen bei Stranger Things :D Aber es ist eine originäre Geschichte, oder? (Ich guck’s gar nicht.) Intensität ist ein guter Stichpunkt.

@rstockm SW/ST – ja, diese Nostalgie-/Fanservice-Gelddruckereien nerven nur noch. Neue Franchises/IPs müssen her! Naja, "nerven" ist übertrieben; eigl kümmert's mich kaum, bin kein leicht zu enttäuschender Fan. *Etwas* traurig vielleicht.

@schlink From the POV as a non-native speaker 17k words contains probably too many obscure words that I don't know and would have a hard time to remember. Also having suggested, suggesting, suggestions, suggestive, suggests may add to confusion. What about e.g. kicking verbs and have only adjectives and nouns? Or only verbs, no ad(verb|jectives)? The purpose is to make them memorable, right? (I haven't followed what you're trying to do, tbh :)

I’ve just decided against following someone because besides a shared interest their #Twitter feed is 20% soccer/football related — call me weird, but I like my timeline football free.

I know people struggle with running multiple #SocialMedia accounts; I do. As often as it seems appropriate, just as often I’m unsure about where to post what.

How do you handle this? Did you find a middle ground? Is 20% off-topic too much?

Do I post about something that you’d like to see separated? Or merged?

@herrurbach Das sind ja harte Einschränkungen. Nilüfer Yanya ist meine Entdeckung bisher. Aber schon nah am Pop, schätze ich. Und kein Debüt, but…

🐛 “still many bugs” 😔

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?classification=Client%20Software&classification=Components&f1=short_desc&f2=OP&f3=short_desc&o1=nowordssubstr&o3=anywordssubstr&product=MailNews%20Core&product=Thunderbird&resolution=---&short_desc=maildir&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr

Really happy that #Thunderbird seems to have a future. But why is in version 102 still #mbox the default storage format and not #maildir? #mozilla

Context 2: "my" indie "game" that I'll never earn a dime with is also not open-source, because, well, no reason actually, except shame maybe — ah, no, I remember, I bought assets and am unsure how to handle the mixed-license situation 🤔

Context: I'm playing a game which is a) lacking translation and b) has various (what seems to me) low-hanging-fruit UI quirks, that I kinda want to contribute. But reaching out, I don't feel confident enough; if it was open-source, I would have checked out the repo already and tried my luck.

I wish more #indieGames were #OpenSource (code, not IP/art). People are still to hesitant; even if they barely make a living from it, and appear to be understaffed for the task. At least crowd-source the localization, please!

🔥 (Completely unfounded hot take, btw; teach me, if you feel seen!)
