@rightscon more relevant than ever, this conf.

Following our April 29 announcement, we believe it's important to be transparent about the context that led to the decision. We want to explain, where we can, why this was made on such short notice, only days before we were set to host RightsCon. Read: rightscon.org/rc26-statement/

@orithellama just wondering, as I incorporated last week AI in my code flow, and it literally means I can drop subcontractors. I'm still amazed.

@vanbernaert Of course

Even as a solo-founder, you need feedback from users, and a small community that co-decides with you. That is why I am introducing Pulsar DAO. Capped at 100 passes, users of Pulsar will be able to propose new features, improvements and have their vote. Why? Because it is important especially early-stage to co-develop with your users. Therefor you don't want to implement every potential proposed feature that a single company might need, but together as Pulsar DAO, we'll make sure that @pulsar_spaces will keep optimising in performance, minimalism and efficiency. Launching this Saterday. More info? Hit me up!

@Ghido @KatieKeithBarn2 @Cloudflare @kinsta So I guess you move away from Cloudflare? This starts to sound more an internet of prio's. Who pays more gets traffic prio

@KatieKeithBarn2 @Cloudflare @kinsta It took me months to find out the reason why on Sundays my website was often down. Yes WARP helps but not for my users! It’s just crazy…

When we set up @Cloudflare last month, I didn’t expect the side-effect of me and many of our customers being unable to access our website whenever a major football match is on. Took a while to troubleshoot when it happened to me today, but @Kinsta figured it out once they spotted I was in Spain 🙄 The (temporary) solution is to download Cloudflare WARP. techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privac…

@Marketing_Nerd_ Pushy sales are horrible. When I walk a store in .. and i smell a minor mobe into my direction ... i'm gone. Apple had/has somehow the balls to trust on this human intuition. A very underestimated sales pitch: the non-pitch

Apple Stores make $5,500 per square foot. That’s more than Tiffany, Gucci, or any store on Earth. But how? No registers. No salespeople. No pressure. Here’s how Steve Jobs reinvented retail and built the world’s most profitable store model from scratch:

@DGTes @GVA112 Bien hecho este infografico 👌

🌬️ El #viento al volante no se ve, pero se siente, y puede llegar a ser muy peligroso. Este fin de semana volverá a azotar fuerte en muchas zonas del país. 👀 Aquí van unos consejos para que el #vendaval no nos coja desprevenidos. 👇

I'm very happy with my 128GB ram on my self-assembled machine from 4 years ago. never wasted money maximum rams.

A server snapshot that takes only 2 seconds is very scary. It's like it's broken and you don't dare to rollback on that one.

It's time for Microsoft to have another XPSP2 moment. No more AI, no more features. Just fixes. When I was working on Windows XP, Blaster hit. It was a big enough deal that we set aside all feature work. For the next several months, all we did was improve security. We didn't add "security features"; we fixed bugs. Lots of bugs. Until there weren't security bugs to fix anymore. Then we fixed the ones we didn't know about yet. Put more simply, we stopped trying to "add value" to the product through features that PMs thought users would like, and instead we focused on the things that had been important for a long time, but overlooked. Like performance and configurability today. Rather than trying to improve and add value to the system through new AI features -now-, I argue it's time for Microsoft to stabilize, improve, and make the system more performant. And more usable for power users. Just for one release. Just till it doesn't suck.

Hoi @BNPPFBelgie, is er een probleem met jullie backend om banksynchro te doen? Er komen geen verrichtingen meer binnen vanaf 17 oktober (via @saltedge). Met 3 andere Belgische banken geen probleem.

Source of internet service outages (in Europe).

@sdxsdx_ @m4rio_eth @signalapp twilio VOIP is down too here in Europe

@vanbernaert @m4rio_eth @signalapp Such as?

Why Signal down? status.signal.org here it says it's up and running... @signalapp

@donaldmorganjr there are more services down here in Europe. I guess a internet outage somewhere.

Is Signal down for anyone else here?

@digikey Hi, meanwhile we finally received the goods. But nevertheless, this was rather a very unpleasant experience to get goods delivered.

@vanbernaert Hi Kristof, I'm really sorry that has been your experience with us. It's definitely not something we want happening. Can you DM us your customer number so we can look into this?

Just to share my purchase experience with @digikey, sadly the worst experience ever. Orders paid with credit card always cancelled, forced to pay afterwards with wire transfer, no follow-up, order cancelled, money gone. Any similar experiences around here?

Cutting of your sales by blocking traffic that comes from chatgtp? Why would you do that? 🧐 (happens when you enter @STARTECHdotCOM website with utm_source=chatgpt.com)
