I like it on mobile. I haven't yet used it on Desktop but On mobile you have to shut off notifications- trust me.

Maybe MPSs should have disclaimers in their contracts that state that there is never any responsibility for any files marked, indicated, or filed for deletion, trash, etc.
MSPs shouldn't take it as their job to empty a customers deleted items. Regardless of the fact that the deleted items are meant to be emptied out regularly.
MSPs encompass customer service - often there to do any number of tasks for a customer. Given that often the role of IT is to do what customers can't do or won't do or are confused about, there is essentially no task that can be ruled out as "not their job". MSP = IT, and IT = business, and to some degree, everything in a company falls within that purview.
I get the argument. I do, but as the IT person would you go and empty the CEO's delete items without asking them?
If I'm there to fix a problem that that would help, yes. They've already marked them for deletion. If they need support because they don't know to empty the deleted folder, then yes, that's my job.
Reverse it, as a CEO would you ever have any reasonable expectation that things you deleted weren't actually deleted? Nope. None. Nada.
yeah - if only that were really true - tons, and tons of crazy people use the deleted items as another folder...
that lots of crazy people do something in absolutely no way affects the answer I asked for. If lots of crazy people do something obvious and foolish, they should always expect the obvious outcome.
Sadly - it also means you can't ever just clean out someone's trash in email without asking.
Hence why there should be the disclaimer in the contract. It should be that they can't ever put something they intend to keep in trash. And legally, I think they'd have a pretty hard time claiming that they marked it for deletion and intended to keep it. That sounds like a lie that they made up after the fact and isn't plausible, but people accept no matter how obviously false it has to be.
That's literally like claiming that they threw it in the physical garbage and didn't expect anyone to ever empty it and that they could safely use it as a storage container.
Sounds like it would have to be a lie, right?
In the physical world I agree - in the digital one - nope - as much as you continue to claim it - that's just NOT how many - I'd venture most (as in well over 50%) act.
I say you to an informal pole as you work on end user computers - you and all of NTG - as you log into every single end user - one of the first things you should ask - or rather say - I'm going to empty your recycle bin - is that OK and log the responses. I'm willing to be $100 that more than half would want to look at it's contents before allowing you to actually delete it. and over 30% won't let you delete it.

The answer is probably nothing. I suppose iMessage hasn't asked to add more contacts of friends of friends... but the whole idea for most of those platforms is to be social and grow. Without growth they die.

Sounds like a bad business setup.

Check out Riot.im too. Opensource, decentralized, chat service. I use it for some things, trying to get my family to move to it from Hangouts, and I really like it.

@siringo My family and I use Slack. It doesnt push ads like facebook and doesnt have sharing of contacts like almost everything does. I control the channel and decide who gets in. I keep it to just family members I want. It can do anything, even video, and keeps on getting better. I have an RSS channel for reading various blogs I like. I'm sure other things do all this but this is what I use.
Something else I use is Zoom which is mainly video but has some chat enabled with it. I use it for work purposes because I dont like to mix personal and business on the same app.

Video chat? That is news to me. I don't see it in my settings anywhere.
