@stroughtonsmith @gruber @hunter it’s hard to argue that any company has a monopoly in messaging. It’s. It like someone with a phone is unreachable by someone else with a phone because a platform is preventing them from doing so. What we have is choice and network effects…competition. If WhatsApp hadn’t demonstrated that enough people care about e2ee it’s unlikely that other platforms would’ve adopted it. GIFs, rich formatting, groups, channels, bots, etc. are the dividend of this.

@michika what other purpose would the video-in port have…?

@thatvirtualboy Sweet! Nicely done!

@timonus watched it last night. Thought it was excellent, really tight. What did you think?

@lasersailor FWIW I’ve never had auch issues with Ricoh, whether it was the GRD II, GR II, GR III or my current GR IIIx

@Onmyom not sure I get the cynicism here. What would you have liked to see? The implementation of gen AI in shopping seemed thoughtful and useful, with prime placement. There's a range of bets from pretty safe to a bit risky. SGE as a platform is a strong move. GCP APIs are foundational, useful and very usable.

@dangrover yes, and they’ll be just as apocryphal…
