You can be curious and learn without gifting your energy to an uncaring entity

Hey! I have an open-source project for browsing an exported slack archive, it may be useful to you so you can see and search the history: https://github.com/pkarolyi/slack-archive-browser

I haven’t maintained it in a while since it works for us, but PRs are welcome :)

A good first one would be adding non-slack authentication as currently it only supports Slack openid for logging in, but it uses next-auth and should be simple to extend

Mattermost also has a tutorial to import your slack messages

https://docs.mattermost.com/administration-guide/onboard/mig...

I have been running a Mattermost instance with a few thousand users for years now.

It really hasn’t required any maintenance at all beyond incrementing the version number.

They are starting to tighten the screws (showing admins a warning if you have over 2500 users), but it’s still looking good for a few years before I need to act on that.

Notably, Mattermost can be forked to a community edition if the team behind it does anything too user-hostile. It's a fine balance for them to keep their "team edition" nudging users to a supported edition without being so annoying that users are motivated to make that community edition.

I have other reasons to want a community edition personally, but sadly they've been successful enough thus far that there isn't enough interest from other developers to make it happen.

Forking involves:

* Fork the server (adjust your CI / build / deploy pipeline) * Run your own push notification broker * Fork the iOS client, white-label it, point it at your push server * Setup apple dev account to publish * Fork the android client, white-label it, point it at your push server * Setup google dev account to publish * Fork the frontend repo, edit to match the white-labelled apps

You can self-host it.

Awesome, yes I see it's open source. I was thrown off by other comments talking about "They are starting to tighten the screws"

This sounds like a great idea, does anyone know a tool like that?

There was a post I think here on Hackernews by a university professor (of philosophy, maybe) about how student's performance have declined a lot recently and how he cannot do anything about it. Can someone help me if you remember it? I cannot find it for the life of me

Was it this one? This article has stayed with me.

Every activity that is making people rich is by definiton moving money from Person A to Person B.

Lets be nitpicky :)

I said move money from A to B, which implies that nothing else is happening. Otherwise it would be an exchange.

Sooo i would say my wording was right?! :)

> I don't want any text to be selectable

Disabling text selection is not just worse UX, it is actively user-hostile

In Photoshop panels, title (like "Layers") are not selectable. How is it worse UX or user-hostile?

It's worse on desktop. On mobile it just leads to accidental selection when you were trying to do something else.

I, I, I. Empathy is a weakness.

Lots of limitations for you to not accidentally do something, maybe there is a way to not accidentally do those things and also help people that need them.

No, not providing concrete examples is a weakness.

You're awfully arrogant in making a judgement about my empathy... if you want to make this personal.

Or maybe you can justify why people need to be able to select menu labels in the first place? That's not standard on any OS I've ever used, so it's up to the person who wants to change things to justify why.

Maybe be less judgmental of people here on HN, and contribute something factual instead? I at least gave a factual account of my personal experience, which is a data point. Describing one's experience isn't egoism.

A simple and concrete example is, go to Japan, find yourself in need of using any Japanese-only app, be extremely frustrated in not even being able to select text to translate it.

At least in recent versions of Android there is that OCR (?) powered functionality to select text when you're in switch-app view.

Thank you for the example!

I would suggest that these days you'd be much better off taking a screenshot and putting that into Google Translate.

That way all the text remains in-place, and you can keep it as a visual reference to refer to.

If you were selecting text, it would wind up in a kind of jumble that would be much harder to use.

Circle to Search can translate everything on your screen without you needing to go through the whole "copy text, open Translate, paste, switch back to app" workflow. You just hold the home button, then press the translate button.

what do you mean by chatgpt versions?

I think they are referring to “models” in this case as versions. 4o is a ChatGPT model as is o3, 4o-mini, Sora, etc etc.

You can do this with a zsh plugin: https://github.com/jimhester/per-directory-history

This looks promising, thanks!

For bash, you may be able to do something like:

  function set_histfile {
    export HISTFILE="$HOME/.bash_history_$(pwd | tr '/' '_')"
  }

  PROMPT_COMMAND="set_histfile; $PROMPT_COMMAND"

There may be other ways, but probably can't do it without PROMPT_COMMAND.

Someone else mentioned "direnv", too.

And how do they define “on-time”? In Switzerland a train is considered on time if it reaches its destination with less than three minutes’ delay.

The Trinity Railway defines on time performance for trains as arrival within 5 minutes of schedule[1]. It's not materially different from the Swiss standard.

I use Firefox as my daily driver but I really miss user profiles and tab groups from Chrome. None of the tab related extensions for Firefox give quite the same ease of use as the built in tab groups do in Chrome.

As noted by others in this thread, you want the -ProfileManager flag when you start it. You should be able to either have it remember you always want the profile manager on startup, or change the application shortcut to always use the flag.

It would be great if they made this more easily available though. It was the default once upon a time.
