Title should probably be suffixed '(2020)' - not that anything has changed :P

Email clients are more or less feature-complete at this point.

Thunderbird 72 was. Since then my most important extensions are slowing drying up and away, but I treasure that v72 tarball and the extensions that I use with it.

Yeah, been using this myself for a whole bunch of sanity. Until buildkit is the default though, I wouldn't expect it to gain too much traction.

More upvotes here ^

Edit: And TIL infern.io is a thing too

what's that? I thought it'd be related with inferno OS.

Another also: right and left keys worked pretty well

No idea why this obvious joke was downvoted tbh :P

A dress-up localhome joke? Hey, at least it was one I hadn’t heard.

(Cracked a localhome joke in for my first IT job interview. Manager laughed, Engineering Manager rolled his eyes.)

Just from the Reddit post as well - doesn't feel overly user-hostile or deserving of the 'JP Morgan Chase Bank admitting to me they hate Linux and BSD desktops and actively block them' title anyway.

If there's active blocking based on OS (from replies in this thread, evidence seems to be slim) then that's not great, but this seems to be pretty one-sided so far.

Don't think it'll catch on

Don't think this is the case. It's downstream of RHEL but with a bunch of liberties, so CentOS/Rocky doesn't change much there

Yeah LinuxServer people/projects are great. It's very much not in the spirit of containerization but makes sense for what it is.

I first noticed/made use of their Firefox container as a 'headless' browser env. Super useful for browsing through severe amounts of JS to get at a file :P

Very cool! I really love this idea, though I picked up a few things I found weird:

* Search kicks in properly at 3 characters, but removing a character (so aaa <- aa) produces results

* Same UUID used for invite links and profile images (may not actually be a 'problem' at all) - as a result of this and the wording of the 'follow invite' popup, I can give the impression that someone has invited someone else to follow them I guess? [1][2][3]

* Fully editable notifications with no signs of edit or history - makes context a little weird potentially

Other than this it'd be nice to have an opt-in follow option (so I get to approve followers) - along with discovery of followers/followed for contacts? Not sure how far that extends beyond app scope though, at least without becoming another LinkedIn :D

[1] Example: IPster.io account image = https://app.ipster.io/api/f/avatar/npWDSXiTsWVpSNFO95Oh7z3eC...

[2] IPster.io invite link = https://app.ipster.io/invite#npWDSXiTsWVpSNFO95Oh7z3eCy13

[3] Wording is "IPster.io has sent you a request to follow", which may/may not be misleading :P

Thank you for testing and a detailed feedback!

I see, yeah there is some work needed there :)

So to build your own network, you would share this link with others so they can easily find you and follow. But I see what you mean, probably wording needs to be adjusted.

> * Fully editable notifications with no signs of edit or history - makes context a little weird potentially ----

Its a good idea, so something like wiki/confluence edit history? The problem I see with that; what if I made a mistake and I did not want anyone to see that. Since the topic of job search can be sensitive, I am not sure if edit history would be desirable? At this stage it shows that sender has edited the notification. ----

And to your last point. It's very hard to keep things simple and as you said, without making it another linked in.

For now, you can block users. I went for twitter model instead of facebook/linkedin. But that combined with email/messaging kind of threaded/focussed discussion.

I think there are some really great points here.

Thanks for the super speedy reply! Good to see the intention behind things as well :D

I had no idea about the edit mark tbh - don't think I checked properly ;) cool that makes sense - history perhaps not as much as just signs of editing sounds like a decent balance.

Very very cool - perhaps with follower approval it could just be a mutual follow check. So if my notifications are 'closed' and you follow me, then I need to follow you back to 'approve'. Feels pretty frictionless. :)

Thanks again for a super cool tool!

Ooh, since this I've had another thought - instead of open/closed networks, 'just' have a third option for how to share a notification - "my approved list" or "people who follow me and I follow back" or something along those lines, just less awkward wording.

Might be easier said than done as well. :D please shoot me down as necessary :)

This is all very helpful, and it's great to see different perspectives.

I can assure you that for the next version there will be something along these lines.

One of the thoughts we had: Let users add their followers to the named/virtual groups which can be configured or changed anytime. Something like 'trusted', 'my previous company', 'friends' etc..

And while creating a notification: You have options 'All my followers', 'Selected followers' and a new option 'selected group(s) -> and you select one or more group'

To add, currently users can switch off searchability of their profiles. In addition, I think you are right; it would be good to have options to: 'Open network' - anyone can follow 'Closed network' - approve followers..
