Try alternative, native, Slack clients like msga.app or similar. They tend to use Slack's API pretty efficiently.

Yes, Teams is supported, but since their API is really poor compared to Slack, the support is pretty limited.

Software has finally started to get faster, and I love it. Pls don't consider this a spam, but if anyone is interested in a fast native Slack client, I'm building one, since Slack themselves don't want to: https://msga.app

There is a native Slack client actually. Fast and with good feature coverage, it’s called msga.app

Well, I did a small research and I couldn't find any cases of the US government discriminating foreign business owners by passport. There are several cases in the EU, but the US looks clear so far. Hence my interest in that location.

I was an e-resident for 10 years, had a company and paid all taxes, but this year they refused to prolong it due to my nationality. So, I don't recommend Estonia at all, they can easily screw you over at any time. :(

Since I'm looking for a replacement atm, what's the best US state to register a simple and cheap LLC for a foreigner?

I'm interested, mostly in the method though, as I also like languages.

I’m flying an ultralight in Europe and my IAS is in km/h. And to be frank, probably all UL and PPL aircraft I’ve seen nearby use km/h, not knots. Not sure why it is so, but it’s definitely easier for my brain. :)

Some time ago I've built an OpenCV-based real time masks plugin for my videoconference tool but unfortunately had to limit it to a single thread WASM version because of browser support. That resulted in 320x240 videos when mask was on. However as an experiment I also ran a 8-threaded version locally and its performance on a laptop from 2015 was more than enough for an almost 30fps stream with a standard video size.

If anyone is interested you may check it out on https://xroom.app or even contribute with ideas and commits: https://github.com/punarinta/xroom-plugins/tree/master/nisdo.... For the masks I'd still recommend a desktop browser though.

If you're curious but don't want to bother clicking too much here's how it all looks like: https://imgur.com/93YR87e

Hehe, I had to do the same a week ago. The only difference is Slack’ing instead of mailing and also cart prepopulation because those delivery slots are taken out almost instantly in my city. This is in the EU btw, not specifying the country or chain to, well, to be able to survive longer.

Regarding Whereby, I used them actively until they became paid for groups bigger than four and introduced sign-up. Then I decided to build my own free solution porting many features in a form of plugins, to keep the main tool light and fast. You can check it out if interested: https://xroom.app

Just out of curiosity, did you try it from a desktop browser or from a mobile one?

Exactly! socket.io was there mostly to speed up prototyping. I plan to replace it with vanilla code soon, to make the frontend app even more lightweight.

Right now it doesn't cost much to host. But soon I plan to create a proper plugin store (currently there are only a few plugins available to general public as you may see) and encourage people to develop and upload their own plugins, so I will have to scale up for all that. Regarding the backend, it's a node.js application.
