One cool thing about using #software every day that you wrote yourself: If you want a feature, just add it. The one I added today only took me a few hours, and now I can use it from here on.

Oh, and no software-as-a-service #SAAS extortion fees.

Yeah #saas was a clever thing

And I keep talking to people who regret getting rid of their albums and CDs and DVDs, because the intellectual property holders or the streamers or the publishing companies or whatever, they are under no obligation to allow the things to be available online all the time. I threw out a bunch of VHS and DVDs that I really regret too. But I have all my CDs and LPS, and these days, no way am I getting rid of those.

@NMBA @dan613 I don’t necessarily disagree with this but at the same time, I know that SO many small businesses don’t have the skills, resources or time to find a viable alternative without putting their businesses at risk. In the age of #SaaS no platform is safe because they all collect subscription fees, transaction fees, processing fees that the business must pay to use it. Paying those fees gets interpreted as implicit support. I totally understand why but …but I don’t know. I feel trapped.

@bert_hubert TBH, even shit like #aws isn't selling furniture, but demand a premium every step of the way for every tool used to turn wood into some furniture - in perpetuality and with no good means to control costs.

@olifantenbaer @roman78 @admin Ich sehe das anders:

Effektiv habt ihr damit keine Kontrolle über die IT!

  • Je schneller Organisationen diese #UnbequemeWahrheit akzeptieren, umso eher werden diese entsprechend reagieren können und Druck auf Zulieferer und Hersteller ausüben können um dies zu ändern!!

Wer Post-#PRISM & Post-#CliudAct immerboch #GAFAMs und deren #CCSS oder #SaaS nutzt und nicht aktiv dabei ist wegzumigrieren hat es aufgegeben, die eigene #IT zu leiten!!!

Mastodon, I need your help. I'm researching a topic of maybe something I want to build in the future in the email space.

Can you help me out with this survey where I try to understand how you use email? The survey is absolutely anonymous, and you would help me out a lot. (Please boost friends) 🙏🏻

Werden Sie auch öfter gefragt, was eine API ist?

Eine API (Application Programming Interface) verbindet Softwaresysteme und ermöglicht den Datenaustausch. Sie definiert, wie Anwendungen miteinander kommunizieren und erleichtert Integrationen.

Bei mailbox.org automatisiert die API z. B. die Benutzerverwaltung für Geschäftskunden.

Wir haben es simpel in einem Vergleich zusammengefasst. Haben Sie auch ein Beispiel, das jeder versteht?
