Folks, usernames on #Signal aren’t your usual account handles aka your online identity. You don’t have to get stressed to get yours. They are meant to be changed and deleted, whenever it makes sense. They are optional too.
“Username” is probably a misleading name, since people rightfully think of typical username concepts. But here it’s just a “Wanna talk to me? Sure, find me at zzz.04, that’s my invite name I share here on this conference”. The UI isn’t even showing it after the chat started.
@thomasfuchs I wouldn’t mind an extra device for certain use cases. But having blood pressure measurements available as easy and accessible as modern smartwatches would be cool indeed.
Ich mag ja @heiseonline und mein @ct_Magazin Abo. Aber die Aboverwaltung ist entweder aus der Steinzeit oder absichtlich mit dark patterns gebaut. Nirgendwo steht einfach mal übersichtlich wie lang die Kündigungsfrist ist usw. Alle modernen Abos und Verträge die ich sonst so habe listen das transparent auf.
Auch ein Klassiker: was passiert eigentlich genau wenn ich kündigen drücke?
@jakesmolka@heiseonline@ct_Magazin *mit dem click auf kündigen schließen sie einen selbstverlängernden abovertrag für bärenmarke kaffeemilch ab, sofern sie nicht vor Ende des 3 Stündigen testzeitraumes schriftlich, mit dem Blut ihres erstgeborenen, beglaubigt von einem Priester, in 2facher ausführung+ poststempel von freitag, kündigen.
I usually use #LinkedIn job listings to monitor the market around certain technologies. For some days now, it is barely useable anymore. The list of like 20 entries per page has about 10 promoted entries, which have NOTHING to do with my search. The only connection is a general match to my profile and that I’m apparently in the target group of those ads.
I learned one thing: If I’m going to do actual job hunt someday, I won’t use LinkedIn for it.
@chrisshaw I actively avoid posts, comments and all those general social-media parts over there. Too much fake and phony attention seeking. I agree, things are way more organic here.
What’s a good web hoster (service) for all-in-one website hosting? I’m looking for someone who wants 100% control of the process, without me in middle having to SSH on the server to change configs and so on. The software should be some sort of website generator.
Is WordPress still the way to go?
@jakesmolka no problem. A lot of ppl have a downer on wordpress (including me!). But it's not the world's most popular content system for nothing.
The hosting is so ubiquitous that if you don't like the one you pick, it's a mornings work to move it elsewhere. You can't do that with Squarespace, wix etc
