Kann mir jemand #Open-source #Alternativen für #Slack und Co empfehlen?
Sollte datenschutzkonform und sicher sein, ferner sollte man einen eigenen Server aufsetzen können. Also hochschultauglich.

Natürlich gucke ich auch gerade selbst, aber Empfehlungen aus Zeitschriften etc. sind ja keine Erfahrungen.

"How AI personalization fuels groupthink and uniformity"

"Here are some ways how Slack will use their customer's data to 'make your life easier':"

"Autocomplete: Slack might make suggestions to complete search queries or other text"

"Emoji Suggestion: Slack might suggest emoji reactions to messages using the content and sentiment of the message, the historic usage of the emoji ..."

"Search Results: 'We identify the right results for a particular query based on historical search results and previous engagements (...)'"

"At first glance, these features seem harmless, even helpful. [...] However, beneath the surface lies a more troubling consequence: the potential for these features to stifle creativity and reinforce groupthink."

"Consider the autocomplete function. By suggesting common completions based on past data, Slack's AI could inadvertently discourage users from thinking outside the box."

#Remote #workers are wasting their #time proving they’re actually #working

#Productivity #theater is when workers frequently update their status on #Slack or toggle their mouse to make sure the status light in #Microsoft #Teams is green. They say hello and goodbye, and they drop into different channels throughout the day to chitchat. They check in with #managers and just tell anyone what they’re working on. They even join #meetings they don’t need to be in (and there are many more meetings) and answer emails late into the night.

Beim Instant-Messaging-Anbieter #Slack wurde ein Bug (Programmfehler) gefunden: ein Sicherheitsforscher hat Slack darauf hingewiesen, dass Nutzer:innen, die zwischen dem 17. April 2017 & dem 17. Juli 2022 auf einen bestimmten Einladungslink klickten, von einer #Sicherheitslücke betroffen waren. Nun wurde der Bug behoben.

slack, please let go of my underscores

Couple different workarounds to force slack to treat certain characters as literal instead of formatting codes

For the current WYSIWYG editor, hit Ctrl+Z immediately after conversion happened

and,

To escape a special character, f.e. * or @, type the following characters right before the character that we want to escape:
Keep pressed:

Press and release, one after the other, the following characters:
u a d

Release:

For a moment, we will see, underlined: uAD which will soon become invisible.
Now you can type the special character.

Excited! New https://element.io website and new simpler pricing plans for enterprises. Open source encrypted communications with no vendor lock-in for the win!

Yes, really, when you use your own domain, you can take your data and go to another hosting company and your users wont notice a thing. Of course, we at Element Matrix Services will do everything to make it worth staying ;)

Also all our bridge offerings (#Telegram, #Signal, #WhatsApp, #Teams, #Discord, #Slack, #IRC) are now billed per remote active user instead of a flat fee. This means no more restrictions on how many rooms or users one can bridge - you only pay for what you bridge!

New pricing plans blog post: https://element.io/blog/simpler-plans-for-element-on-premise-and-cloud/

Ps. We're also hiring across the board! Come join a great growing company, feel free to ping with questions!
