Wait, what? How do you guys not know how this works? Location based advertising has been around for years. How do you possibly not know that one of the biggest ad agencies on the planet (Google) DOESN'T do this?
The energy coming from my $10,000 solar panels on my $900,000 suburban home which feeds my $6000 EV charger which fuels my $60,000 Tesla is free! It comes from the sun.
You could add all that to IRC or Jabber or whatever if you want to, but the real answer is that Slack is sold because it makes you dependent on a single corporation when you use it. Even if you run your own "Slack" server which you probably can.
...much faster than "climate change". The fact that people are ignoring local pollution to focus on climate change is outrageous. You can't sell carbon credits to "fix" local pollution though.
I think the nerds have all retired at this point and the industry is being taken over by people who are used to closed systems like tablets, phones, etc. They don't understand the concept of "personal computing".
Exactly. But a genius like you would have a seperate OS running on top of the host OS for EVERY concurrent application. And each OS would be a slightly different version.
Oh, so it sounds like Java apps again. Every generation reinvents the same thing, badly. Too bad Moore's Law is dead. Eventually we will need to start programming again.
Real greybeards call them "programs", because believe it or not everything that runs on a computer is a "program". I know, hard to believe, but computers still work the same way they did since the 1950's.

Uh, what? Google has been doing this for at least 15 years. Location based advertising.
Plus the EU raised their emissions in both 2017 AND 2018, but no problem.
Wow! Who knew? I thought it was manufacturing and energy generation, but apparently it is tourists going to Norway.

Right. That is why emissions are rising. Tourists.
They are too busy building airships and stuff. Scumbags.
They are calling the new system "Chat and Meet"? Seriously?
"governments are responsible for connecting their citizens to an open web that respects their rights"
Yeah, Tim has gone full nuts.

Thats nice, but that isn't what an "app" is in 2018.
You call a program "object files"? Makes sense.
I would use "Electron" and hire some app kiddies at the cheapest possible rate.

Reminds me of Java desktop applications. I'm sure it will turn out well.
Thanks for the tip. You missed my point.

I feel sorry for young people going into software development. It must be hell.
I'll bet people like you would think "well lets just download the entire OS with the app"! Genius.

Well if Microsoft uses it, it must be good!

Oh, huh. That is pretty cool. I am not sure what those are, except for Skype, but sounds very good. I can feel my ironic beard growing.
