  • I would sincerely advocate for year.month or year.release model so that typical users can figure out how outdated their software is. An average person is usually terrible at keeping software up to date.

  • I compare it to qip or similar with voice calling support about 10 years ago. But still, Slack loses to pretty much anything on the market regarding performance, be that Element, Telegram, Skype or even Discord. It literally battles with biggest IDEs lol

  • Slack is one of those apps which lags in a week on any hardware, it might be better than web version but it still sucks ass compared to fucking ICQ clients. Source: using it in the company I work for, for about 7 years already.

  • Tried the app (Windows).

    Firstly, it uses lots of CPU on a pretty powerful machine (7945hx). It at least takes 1-3% idling and up to 40-60% while doing basic tasks.

    Secondly, I haven't found jack shit related to background processing for notifications and updates. Wouldn't this be the primary reason to have an app - to get status updates immediately?

    Thirdly, it's just a web version with exactly the same UI, exactly the same settings and so on. It literally works better in Firefox than the app itself.

    I don't see any reason to use the app over web version in a browser. No, really.

  • This usually happens when preview builds have been tested and they are just promoted to a stable release, and newer builds aren't just there yet. This is neither an "obvious indication" of pushing immediately to prod, nor this is an "abandoned software" by any means. Could be, but matching dev-prod versions don't necessarily mean that.

  • Samsung has also had it for quite a long time. Pretty much lots of recent mainline android additions seem to be a port of Samsung software. Repair mode, quick share, now offline find my device. They do seem to benefit from each other though, and that's a good thing.

  • Russian authorities usually just hijack login sms confirmation codes. This is a common practice in Russia. Not denying that something else shady might be going on, but I do know mobile providers there don't even bother to ask why - they just provide shit on demand.
