About 2 years after Google switched every Google Hangouts user over to Google Chat, I still wonder about [Wayback/Archive] Will the new Google Chat PWA for Chrome ever have system tray support? : gsuite:
Chrome _right now_ can be sustained as a background process with the Chrome-ball in the system tray. This is the vehicle with which Hangouts remains open at all time, so why not Chat, too?
I’m left with no option but to have Chat running on a mobile device so I have always on access. Perhaps this is the angle. I nunno.
Your support page link I’ve seen already and it doesn’t answer the Why question.
It is absolutely a bizzarotown implementation.

Some work to do replacing dead IETF RFC and draft links in my blog posts.
From the accepted answer on [Wayback/Archive.is] Links to HTML versions of RFC’s need to move from “tools” to “datatracker” – Meta Stack Exchange:
[http/https]://tools.ietf.org/html/[rfc/RFC] became https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc network-wide[http/https]://tools.ietf.org/html/draft- became https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-
>Both of these should conform to the reply we received from IETF.

I quote the last tweets in the series starting with [Wayback/Archive] Jack Rhysider on Twitter: “If you’re in IT, I highly encourage you to write a blog. Here are 17 reasons why you should be blogging. 🧵👇”
1…17.
So to recap. By blogging you will become a better writer and communicator, learn the concepts better, open new opportunities, have a fantastic notebook for self reference, maybe make money, become appreciated by more people, and show off your IT skills.
So how do you get started? Try these: WordPress, Jekyll, Ghost, Hugo, Medium, Wix, Squarespace. I really don’t care what you use. Just jump in and start blogging. You can always move everything to a different place later. Good luck and I hope to see some new bloggers from this.
and a few ones that came up in the responses:

Mentioned this on various social media already yesterday, as then suddenly – even for EU users, which is against their GDPR regulations – Twitter turned on data sharing with Grok AI of your Twitter data at x.com/settings/grok_settings (direct settings link) without given prior warning at all

I got this default setting despite living in The Netherlands and Twitter knowing that:

Too bad many webcare / social media corporate accounts respond to every question (even ones of importance to the general public) along these lines:
we extremely apologize for the challenge encountered, customer relations haven’t forgotten about you, it wasn’t our intention, kindly follow back, share full names, reachable WhatsApp number via DM, so we can assist further

When you join a Wi-Fi network that shows a captive portal on the iPhone, iOS opens the captive portal in a Safari web view regardless of which default browser you’ve chosen.
This little experiment implements a captive portal that detects the browser. Brave was the default browser, but iOS opened the captive portal in Safari. The second screenshot shows what this sample website displays if opened with Brave.

For my link archive (Swiss pCloud is GDPR conformant, has European servers in Luxembourg, supports Windows/MacOS/Linux/Android/iOS and various browser extensions).
Before the lists of links: note that cloud storage is not a back-up (despite many of them trying to lure you into thinking they are), so note two things:
- Backup stuff in multiple places.
- A backup is only a backup if you can prove that a restore from backup functions well.
The links:

A while ago in 24 hours time, I bumped into both of these great illustrations about accomplishments that help strengthen your mental state.
Time to give the authors a boost:
