Yeah how can you launder money with ATMs, all the cash in and out is accounted for in the system.

They are scam but not for money laundering. Just scam.

I was working on a Grab competitor, you would be surprised about the number of subsystems running there.

There are entire teams that are working on just internal services that connect some internal tools together.

There was also very little effectivity and efficiency in the era of cheap capital so there were tons of talent wasted on nonsense. Uber built their own slack for a while!! (before just going to mattermost)

People always ask who actually makes money on Uber... I think it's not the cab drivers, not the investors, who makes money is the programmers. It's a transfer of money from Saudis to programmers.

Well it was, anyway.

In my experience Teams is great for calls (both audio and video), horrible for chat. I guess because it's built on top of Skype codebase? (just a guess)

But it's out of the scope for this discussion.

It doesn’t surprise me that twitter engagement went down. It’s worse in every imaginable way (except for community notes, those are nice I guess)

What does surprise me is how little it decreased. The site is barely usable now and, the usage did not go THAT down?

sr.ht does that

I don’t find it very user friendly (well, at all), but if you want a git forge that does that, you can use it.
