Thank you. I will fight this new trend of 100% Slack/Teams/Etc. as long as I possibly can.
Email provides a barrier between you and the work -- email isn't a real time form of communication. Chats, meanwhile, imply immediate response. Hell, these apps even show when you're active -- I've gotten passive-aggressive messages like, "I know that you have DND on, but can you confirm you're seeing these messages?" chats outside of working hours.
I get why Slack/Teams/Etc. is a great supplement to email, especially when it's a smaller internal team collaborating. But ditching email is a terrible idea.
Blu Ray is really going through a renaissance. After extra features were stripped from releases in 2010s, boutique Blu Ray labels have made buying movies on physical media fun again.
I'm sure the HN audience already knows this, but Tubi is basically an ad-supported version of what Netflix was back in the late 2000s / early 2010s: a handful of marquee movies and TV shows with a ton of filler and diamonds in the rough. I'm finding myself watching Tubi more than Netflix these days.
The golden age of streaming is long over. Pricing is going up, options are going down, and we're arguably in a worse place now than we were when cable was all but required.
