<span id="continue-reading"></span><h1 id="why-did-slack-win-out-over-irc-anyway"><a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xw5wvj/why-did-slack-win-out-over-irc-anyway">Why Did Slack Win Out Over IRC, Anyway?</a></h1>
<p>... in which we discuss the past of group communication compared to the
current state of group communication.</p>
<p>I'm a huge fan of IRC, maybe 'cause I used almost every day when I was young.
But IRC has a great feature that nobody talks about: It was distributed: You
could run your own IRC server and ask it to join a federation of IRC servers
-- as long as your users didn't mind the almost constant &quot;netsplits&quot;.</p>
<p>Everybody today uses Slack and understanding where it &quot;went wrong&quot; can only be
understood by learning the history behind the change.</p>

<p>... in which we learn about RPC at the kernel level.</p>
<h1 id="the-challenge-of-proximity-apps-for-covid-19-contact-tracing"><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/challenge-proximity-apps-covid-19-contact-tracing">The Challenge of Proximity Apps For COVID-19 Contact Tracing</a></h1>
<p>... in which EFF analyses the contact tracing &quot;solutions&quot; and how they affect the
current world, specially since, as the article points, there is no information
about the type of contact happened between two phones -- heck, you can't even
point if the owner of the phone had the phone with themselves in the first
place.</p>
<p>So, with efficacy questioned, we have to ask ourselves: What can it be used,
then? And, if you wear a paranoid cap like me, things don't look good.</p>

<p>... in which not only we have a problem with the expected solution the
&quot;contact tracing&quot;, the ones being used are not providing the minimum
protection to users privacy.</p>

<p>... in which... this joke is getting old already.</p>
<p>It's not just users that should care about privacy, companies have to have the
knowledge to protect users' data, preventing unintentional disclosure of that
data to third parties -- it would be better if companies didn't even capture
data in the first place, but still...</p>
