Man, I don’t know why, but I remember the animations from this game. I think maybe my dad had an old demo of it?

This article sounds a bit like a press release, but the documentation for the tool itself looks good.

“Twenty” seems a little basic so far, but “Salesforce” is such a far-reaching platform it would be hard to compete across the whole landscape. Salesforce’s CRM functionality is a lot easier to copy tho.

I think the more valuable features of a platform like Salesforce are the WYSIWYG automation builder and the fact that it’s running on someone else’s processor (cloud-based). Excel only has VBA, Macros, or writing out functions for building automation and then slows your computer down to a crawl to execute them.

Really interesting talk. It’s funny to me how as the world gets more and more connected via the internet, more and more the law enforcement branches sacrifice privacy in order to “fight evil”

This is the type of “buried treasure” story that kids have these days.

I just imagine a movie like The Goonies but instead of talking about a cave full their treasure, they tell stories about the “flash drive full of gold” that’s buried somewhere in the deepest reaches of the garbage dump.

This is the future I imagined when I used to watch the Jetsons.

However, I never comprehended what a big data company might do with my vital statistics (privacy)

The middle one (at least) is from Sleepaway Camp. Terrifying ending.

Loved this read, thanks for sharing. A good illustration of how chasing an issue with a quick solution can lead to bigger issues.

Pretty eye-opening stuff on how deranged cyber criminals can be.

Thanks for bringing this up. I think I’ve heard this too and I have to say I’m of two minds about it.

In one end… I am frustrated with Reddit’s greed and I think they’ve lost most of my respect at this point. I think I’m kinda bitter toward them, so seeing them lose market share might bring me a bit of schadenfreude.

On the other hand, Reddit’s content quality really feels like it’s gone to crap in the last 5-6 years or so. When I came to Lemmy (and Mastodon), it was refreshing because the community seemed to have a bit of that scrappy, fringe attitude that I missed from early Reddit. I’d be sad if that went away due to over-population.

Basically, I like Lemmy and I want it to be even more successful so that algorithms have less control on our lives. At the same time, I dislike Reddit because they’re going whole-hog into enshittification. I guess I just convinced myself that I want Lemmy to continue to grow ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for sharing this perspective. Complacency won’t grow the userbase here.
