The registration channel is opened, and the Global Open Source Technology Summit GOTC 2024 is about to open!

The well-known instant messaging software ICQ announced that it will be closed on June 26, 2024 - it will come to an end after nearly 28 years of online operation.

ICQ official website recently Make a statement , said it would close on June 26. It suggested users use VK Messenger instead 。

ICQ was born in 1996 and is the earliest popular instant messaging software. It was originally developed by the Israeli company Mirabilis. It was acquired by AOL in 1998 and Mail of Russia in 2010 Ru acquisition - the company is now renamed VK.

In its heyday, ICQ had more than 100 million users, but by 2022, it will have only 11 million monthly active users.

ICQ is a homonym for "I seek you" in English, which translates into "I seek you" in Chinese. At that time, ICQ provided a number of innovative functions, including multi-user chat, asynchronous offline messaging, recoverable file transfer and searchable directories.

Tencent's QQ originally imitated ICQ, originally called OICQ (OPEN-ICQ), but later changed its name to QQ due to the trademark dispute with ICQ.

The parent company of ICQ, VK, did not disclose the reason for the closure, and many technology media have not received a reply to the letter.

However, the closure of ICQ shows that the company would rather shut down the application than continue to invest operating costs on it.

At present, VK operates a social media platform similar to Facebook, as well as VK Messenger, which has been downloaded more than 10 million times on Google Play.

Nevertheless, ICQ's social platform account is still Preview It will make a comeback in some form.

Well, it's another Ye Qingjie.

This wonderful review

The bad user experience just now made me flustered.

ICQ and MSN don't know what to think. They don't have the function of minimizing to a small icon. They must occupy a long bar in the taskbar

If the definition of "choke" is whether it can be completely controlled independently, then a closed source consumer who cannot obtain the highest authority is not considered as a choke consumer's neck

When foreigners and the FBI poisoned open source projects, why didn't you come forward? With such high quality, the United States should be very popular with other countries, right?

This is very useful. After the graphical interface server core, Panic, the graphical interface is stuck and cannot be moved. If there is no valid information, you can output specific error information with a blue screen

In the commercial channel, maintenance will still be provided:)... For example, an enterprise version, even a version many years ago, still provides maintenance

The old version of netty is used by the company, while the newer version of netty is used by redisson. I dare not upgrade Netty, but only use the old version of Redisson.

The comment area is very interesting. What's the difference between writing kernel panic in white on a black background and writing it in white on a blue background? It's also "epic retrogression"

One time development of multi end deployment is only to benefit enterprises and reduce employment costs. The starting point is not to make a bigger cake to benefit a larger group

That's too right. Old Zhou can't control Google, but he can control 360. Do not do to others what you do not want. You should open source all 360 products first.

Then sit tight

Sure enough, there are a lot of low-end farmers. In the era of localization, they haven't even played with the domestic ecosystem. Although things are not so good, you should spray on the idea. Don't show your ignorance and make people laugh.

Chief taxi captain 2024-05-17 11:17

I suggest that 360 open source all its products, and then become the leading enterprise in the domestic open source industry through open source, leading everyone to compete with foreign enterprises

Universities should use open source free software instead of commercial ones. In this way, hands and feet will not be tied technically.

The document is an excellent case of language integration practice from the perspective of specifications, but the designer still seems to be a bit pretentious and has made some "innovations", such as func/foreign/->/prop/mut/Run/<:/, Except for the assignment operator, any compound operator is unacceptable and should be avoided as far as possible; In some aspects, the consistency is not rigorous. For example, when functions are used as parameters and return types, they are inconsistent with the standard definitions, and for example, the definitions of anonymous functions (Lambda) are inconsistent, which increases the difficulty of code reading and understanding; It is a bad idea to use the C language address symbol (&) as a spacer for interface inheritance, because it is inconvenient to enter this symbol on the keyboard and requires double keys to enter it; Nothing/Option/Any seems to be taken from TypeScript, which is a kind of null like detection mechanism after all. How about combining one? The syntax style of type followed and separated by colon (:) belongs to Pascal/Go style. This style is more convenient to implement lexical analyzer and generate syntax tree, which is conducive to subsequent processing; I hope that a new language will emerge. It should be based on the style of C language, boldly absorb the excellent practice of the new generation language (grammar sugar), keep the language specification as simple and consistent as possible, but keep the semantics and extensibility open; Cangjie language has made great exploration and practice for the development of new languages, and the expectations after implementation are also very good, making a good start; With the power of example, I believe that the Chinese community is more likely to produce such a language;

Yes, because you don't want to rely on frequent upgrades for framework selection, you usually choose a stable version for use

At 10:36 on August 28, 2023, an information comment was published on the other side of the ocean: How do you make such remarks? My last account has been blocked. Don't say bad in China. If you don't see it, you can still suggest that we run the apology statement of Digital Guangdong about CEC-IDE 2023/02/07 09:19. On the other side of the ocean, we published an information comment: American companies are strong, but domestic companies are still scrambling to buy vegetables. 35 Retired Google launched an AI product competing with ChatGPT: Bard

The world only knows that Android was created by Google. Several people know that Android is only a product acquired by Google. Similarly, what is the problem with Huawei's contribution to the collection of OGG open source work and integration into its own proprietary product line?

I transferred tens of thousands of yuan to my own account, which was under risk control. How did I do this? The bank should be responsible for this 😂
