doesn’t shock me. it feels like everything on twitter is broke these days, way easier to just not deal with it.

For a moment, I thought this meant Slack was now only going to work on Wayland compositors…

I wonder if their compositors would be laggy and bloated with features, too?

The majority of companies who use Slack (over the likes of Teams) are tech-oriented companies made mid last decade.

Making a Twitter scrapper that pushes to a webhook would take half a day and would cost essentially zero if you just toss it in a random cloud cluster and forget about it. And if you don’t have that scale, then you likely have a team leader somewhere who will run it on a machine of their own out of spite.

This change hurts literally nobody other than Felon. Good.

Yeah, it wouldn’t be hard, but what exactly is the use case here? Why would I want a Terrier scraper in slack at all? It’s a way to chat with coworkers, and I can easily copy a link to a thread I want to share.
