    Is Element One not being offered anymore? Will existing users continue to be supported?

    Appreciate the response, that's great to hear.

    It's a little frustrating that Element X is constantly pitched as the answer when it isn't yet supported by Element's own EMS One hosted service.

    Arathorn I'm a bit confused that Element pushes Element X so much already when your own Element One service doesn't support it yet?

    Google can also decide at any time to put those web properties behind forced logins, or paywalls or just shutter them altogether. If Google doesn't want them to be part of the open…

    I think this is a common framing because not everyone is aware that GPs are independent private businesses. We always refer to them as "part of the NHS" as if they were (or at leas…

    Surely that vision is exactly what (vanilla) Gnome is? On Desktop and on Mobile (with LibAdwaita). Incidentally they also seem to get a lot of criticism for having a strong vision.…

    Those are things the company is doing to take responsibility, not him personally which is what his statement should imply.

    It's the worst software I use on a day to day basis and it's not close. Granted that's on Linux which likely isn't Microsoft's main focus but still nothing else does this much this…

    Experience with Rails and Hotwire has been very positive so far.

    Do any cab companies here let you book online via browser/PWA rather than requiring a proprietary app to be downloaded? Uber used to have m.uber.com but it seems lately that doesn'…

    This exists and is probably the closest thing to trying to do that. Stalled out well short of millions though... https://puri.sm/fund-your-app/

    Element.io also offer paid managed servers where they do the bridging for you if you'd rather not deal with it yourself. Starts at around $10 a month for a home server plus some li…

    Really depends how you define the task doesn't it? If it's "I have the ability to message other people" there's plenty of ways to accomplish that on this device. If you define the …

    Starling do offer an API anyone can use to interact with their own account. Doesn't allow full functionality yet though.

    Would you ever consider a licensing model similar to Cockroach DBs BSL where older versions fall into the public domain/are open sourced once they're no longer revenue generating? …

    I think this is often confused because "works" is poorly defined leading both sides to interpret it as: works == achieves my aims == matches my values

    If that's genuinely the case then it's no wonder people are angry. At the scale of money involved legacy tech just shouldn't be an acceptable excuse.

    Would also like to know the answer to this. From the amount of people explaining the nuance of the deposit rules it seems many people expect trading to work the way you've describe…

    It may well be that it does take payment processors t+2 days but I think the point remains that it should not.

    OK so as a none techie why is it not genuinely instant? Why can't my cash be exchanged for the stock in real time (where real time is defined as within a minute or two say).
