That’s awesome to hear. I could tell you’d be a good hire. We do automation contracting. We do lots of logic programming and also have an IT / MSP side of the business (Azure/on-prem domain, email server, cloud, etc.). I’ve been trying out this new app I saw an ad for on the train, advertising for job placement, and started using it the other day.

You can have a look at the ad here

My dude, he’s from America lol

You in NYC area? I’m hiring.

VoIP systems are getting us closer to your example. Properly provisioned VoIP (on-prem or cloud) can take a SIP user which looks exactly like an email address and direct digital calls to a physical phone. These days it’s likely going to be sent to an office desk phone or a Teams user, but many years from now it will likely be more common to dial out like that from/to any phone device.

I think your example is a bit more nuanced in that there’s some sort of regional database that I suppose one could register for when they change their address. But I don’t think we’re moving in that direction. Things are moving in a decentralized manner and folks hold onto their digital identities, regardless of their geographical location. So like others comments have said, the phone book system is not evolving any further, because modern communication systems are already the evolved version.

This is awesome.

The multi xxxx registration is god damned mad lad max level.

Every time you speak it’s like an episode of Columbo

Sleep is like that one kid nobody picks at kickball for me

Yeah, true. But that’s cool. Having choice like that is great!

But I suppose that’s the issue. Trying to keep signup simple to help drive user engagement. How much do you try to wrap someone’s head around such nuanced differences, and when do you say “just join me on my instance”?

I’m on three different instances and the sort by All-hot feed is nearly identical.

I’m not on Beehaw or Hexbear, but those instances make it pretty well known they block a lot of other instances.

I can taste the lower prices!

It’d be an improvement for sure
