Very interesting. I like it, though I’m sure West Taiwan is not happy about it.

It’s like a security guy doing a full body search on everyone entering a club. It’s beyond inappropriate.

“Not every ‘WTF micro$oft’ moment is a slam dunk,”

Brother, your quotas of shit hitting the fan is reaching fecal velocity of new degrees. Your company’s current state of existence has absolved you of the right to a balanced perspective.

What I’m trying to say is it’s never gonna Microsoft 100% of the time, but at this point no one trusts you, and you’ve earned that, and now you have to live with the consequences. I know this Microsoft contact is probably not the reason, but he is still working there, and that means he deserves some of the blame on a constructive level.

Did you really just “vibe-contract” geopolitics?

I really hope that’s sarcasm considering latest news xd

Let me be the idiot: is this phone actually usable for a dumb android user who is still dependent on smaller Play Store Apps and Google maps / calendar/ etc.?

That makes a lot of sense and that pisses me off.

We’re doing big brother for fun now because it gets some people some money.

Every one of those politicians takes the money not realizing that they will suffer just like everyone else. The more cunning they feel, the more susceptible they are to the same data profiling and manipulation.

I rendered a 5min 4k60 video in blender / octane for a month, which suggests modern cards should easily do more chill tasks. And if you genuinely need the setup I did, you have 10x the work just taking care of modelling,particles, vfx afterfx, composition cut, …

Either you reached that level or you didn’t

I was gonna say, I used to render pretty sick Videos on a 1070, I think you’ll be fine unless you work at Pixar.

That’s gotta be slop². That’s slop mastery. It would open up a whole new world of weapons grade slop.

I’m using the web interface through VPN usually. Not optimal for offline use ofc

Literally today Chris Titus released a video where he emphasized that no one should be using secure boot because the default backend is Microsoft and no one changes their secure boot config.

If that’s true there’s an argument that the name “secure boot” is hardly detachable from the defaults and thus that name is kid of burnt and shouldn’t be recommended out of an abundance of caution for new users.

Currently using siyuan. Just wish you could use the app with a self hosted instance.

Really good video.

Also look at his glorious hair, absolutely handsome bastard.

Ok so when you’re talking about xmpp as a discord alternative, basically movim is kind of what people should be paying attention to.

I’ll def check that out. I am also passively observing progress on stoat.

Now this is a question: how far can you get with xmpp? Could you build an interface on top of it to look exactly like discord with all of it’s functions? Or does something like that already exist?

My first instinct with these older protocols is that there’s no way they could support 10 people in a voice call with concurrent camera streams and 3 screen captures. I’m genuinely curious how far xmpp goes.

Because the people make the platform, and not the functions, and for lots of people you need a lower entry barrier, and the entry barrier for both of those is a good bit higher than fluxer.

Don’t get me wrong, if matrix was a bit more convenient (easier to understand and to use like you would discord, and less bugs of which there are still a wide range of), I’d 100% advocate for it. But I can only tell my friends to use something if it’s convenient enough that they will genuinely avoid a degraded experience.
