The “microsoft rival”, as it is called in the headline, is alfaview, a company that offers GDPR compliant video conferencing software.
And they complain that Teams gets bundled with Office by default which givea this an advantage over other (their) product.
Problem solving is basically patent. After all what is stopping a megacorp from using the same solution but in such a way that doesn’t copy the exact work? Software for example, with current IP law, clean room reverse engineering is completely legal.
Think of how Tribute of Panem and Divergent almost have the exact same story beats but are still separate IP. IP protects singular works, like authors and their books, artists and their work.
I used the chat feature semi-regularly to chat with people about more private stuff. It was mostly about exchanging in creative endeavours, sharing what we had before posting it to Reddit.
So I am a bit moved now that they want to delete it.
But I also hated Reddit’s implementation of it. Under certain circumstances it wouldn’t load older messages and worst of all it was only available on the official app, not even their mobile web app. So continuing my chats forced me to use my desktop, or to try out the app which was horrible.
At this point, let Reddit burn in their mistakes and hopefully the others will make it better.
Yeah, it’s something else reading on a Lemmy instance, under a hammer and sickle how the worst thing Putin does is “transphobia”. And how the west is doing lying propaganda because Kinzhal could never be intercepted by the inferior Patriot.
The people hosting lemmy ml are also hosting the instance lemmygrad.ml You can look around there. Those are tankies.
Reddit is really on their way to become the next facebook.
NATO advised to have important stuff evacuated and preparations were actually taken to move the mriya.
