Given it’s intended for work comms I imagine the solution here is for workspace admin to restrict usage of those per channel.
If the admin is the one doing it, well then I’m fresh out of ideas.
Slack notif logic is already arcane, I can understand them not wanting to add another branch.

A dimly lit nightclub with rows of seats. Red theme lighting and a bright window behind the stage. Most seats are empty. Nobody is on stage yet. The unmistakable Funktion One speakers join a range of novelty lights on the ceiling.

The irony!
Poll: should “reaction emojis” (which are called reactji, apparently??) be considered a valid form of email, and should your email client let you send react-o-mail?
Like = fuck no

I still wonder why OpenFISCA never really took off: openfisca.org/en/
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
I now join the chorus of folks looking for a job. I’ve got some software and systems engineering expertise, some AI/ML expertise, and I’ve been in a business seat for the past few years, meaning I know a lot more about how GTM, sales, etc works than I did.
Let me know if you’d like to talk.
I'm a cognitive scientist with an interest in epistemic vigilance, and this essay that's been going around gave me pause.

Back in December, we had a large outage at work. The internal investigation took a while and the internal report was roughly 40 pages long. For the public, we managed to try and condense it to a much shorter format that we think can still offer useful insights to other organizations:
Wide angle photo of the inside of a large hall. Dramatic lighting is on the floor, and a large “DDD” neon sign is on the stage. A projection screen with some pre-show information is hung in front of a huge pipe organ behind the main stage.

Honestly, I think things would get A LOT clearer if everyone involved described the systems in terms of what they actually do, rather than via these wishful mnemonics.
"I've hooked the synthetic text extruding machine up to other systems that take that text as input and impact the world" != "The synthetic text extruding machine knows how to use tools."
That route seems reasonable. The new trains should be better for CBR but I’m dreading the loss of sleepers for the longer routes.

It was a couple years ago I spoke to them at a booth but I’d be shocked if they wouldn’t enable self host for The Enterprise™️
