I guess that's on a PC? Or isn't there any iOS or Android app on your smartphone which is either showing in-app adds or just simply hooked up to adtech by trackers?

If you put it like that I would prefer production, casting and direction like Narcos (Mexico / Griselda etc). Sublime in picturing another era and pure nitty gritty of real life back then. Without fake glorification.

Isnt CAPSLOCK case for screaming? 😁

My understanding is roughly, for example:

• Microsoft Word desktop application: not SAAS.
• Microsoft Word online: SAAS (just like any other service accessible by browser but not a "localhost")
• Onedrive: SAAS, storage with local explorer integration.
• Exchange server on prem: not SAAS, increasingly diffucult to do.
• Exchange server by MS: SAAS
• Microsoft Outlook Classic for desktop: not SAAS.
• Microsoft Teams for desktop: SAAS although local install but its just another frontend instead of browser.
• Office365: SAAS but really a container for every tool in the MS online toolbox together.

Some caveats: Word handles spellchecker in their cloud and clippy 2024 (Copilot) integration blurs the line.

SAAS isn't about subscription perse although they have them of course. Its about "not needing to take care of". It's software on "someone else's computer" just as with public cloud. In a SAAS construct a provider does the hosting, computing, connection, install, configuration and maintenance. Absolving clients from that burden.

Comparing proprietary desktop applications (even with a subscription) with FOSS alternatives is useful, it's just not SAAS.

I prefer FOSS as much as possible and didn't read all comments on YouTube but ... desktop applications are not SAAS. eg LibreOffice and Adobe apps. But I guess it only requires a different title as the list itself is useful

I like the way you assign different attributes to friends and family.... 😁 Computer idiots, friends and family or ... Computer idiots friends, and family ....

I think poster meant dark pattern (asking for bogus consent while collecting more data then user agrees upon) as a way of cheating by Google.

I wanted it to work because of its place in the timeline, before everything else and provide more history.

Also I'm very much cautious about them on anything browsing related. Discovered (after others also) they let their search-pages-in-a-shop get indexed.

Meaning I could go to Caterpillar, search for "Wabtec is better" and then this search url (with 0 products) would turn up in Google searches and that URL persisted. Text and all.

Basically one could spray-paint and tag sites with this graffiti. Shop admins didn't even have means to remove it.

Problem ignored and stayed this way for months.

Loosing vast amounts of historical posts or would I say "cultural heritage" is a shame but I couldn't trust the party hosting it ...

So with Twitter I did the same, 13 years of tweets. Even took a one month payment on a bulk erase / unlike / unfollow / unretweet service to get it done in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks for this write up, appreciated because sometimes (like on LinkedIn, I know don't ask) it feels like everyone is an AI guru talking hype hype hype.

Don't know if it's really feasible but for scaling (just like in computing and datacentering etc) we need more standardization for a smarter grid I guess then now AND make it "Plug & Play" AND sometimes other legislation so the required expertise to install and configure comes down and you are allowed to do so in a safely manner.

One example here in NL is HomeWizard home battery because it's just max 800W one can just plug it in. (In order to have more in one appliance we need other compliance regulation)

I looked briefly through their site:

• Heavy on partnerships and ambition. Which is a good thing.
• Light on technical details and implementation.
• Hinting at former hype (blockchain) and current (AI)

But for me the biggest concern is development of a "new" decentralized protocol. IMHO there are enough protocols around to choose and pick from and help moving them forward instead of making one from scratch.

Can confirm, tested it with Signal forum, also discourse. Fireshot stops at the end of the current loaded messages (20 of 94) and doesnt scroll further by itself.

Not sure, search on "screenshot lazy load Fireshot" or "screenshot lazy load Linkwarden" does not turn up anything conclusive.

Do you have an example?

And like you said: all tooling for files works for this .... For example I use F2 (highly recommended btw) for bulk editing filenames based on regex patterns. This could easily used to edit metadata in bulk.

I like this ... a lot.

Is it new?

If there isn't even a todo task manager that handles notes this way, it is. Because man are there myriad implementations of that stuff.

It's also the use cases supported by Linkwarden:
