Does anyone know of a good ethical email sending service to send automated emails? I would really like to avoid SendGrid, Mailgun, etc.

Starting off my New Year by resigning from my day job. I'm taking some time to love computing and programming again and putting more energy into my co-op.

@dansup ugh those RTMP days was brutal. I remember doing live streams with that tech and it was just atrocious, especially when we needed to offer streams for mobile viewers.

@tante That's our (@limeleaf) goal with https://limecast.net. Small little lifestyle company for the 3 of us.

I was reading some audio-related things and came across LimeWire which brought back fond college memories. I went to the website and it has now been perverted with AI bullshit.

This slide was for parents to teach their kids, but quite frankly the entire human race needs to follow this too.

All my regular news sources suck because of #OpenAI bullshit.

@drewdevault Technical interviews are an absolutely shit show. Too often the process involves verifying someone knows specific technical thing X instead of testing if someone is a smart person that can learn a new concept and apply it to solve problems. The former is easier to do and churns through applicants faster to get the right one for right now instead of the right one for long term gain.

@luna If you've seen this I apologize. It only works for one site, but it would be great if folks published in all formats for better accessibility.

@evan Sounds like you'll stick with Computing Systems then based on the classes you're interested in. https://omscs.gatech.edu/program-info/specializations

The Slack group we have is helpful for figuring out courses once you get your GT email. There's also a fairly active subreddit too.

@evan Welcome to class! What specialization? I started Fall '22 in Computing Systems.
