But neither have seamless voice chat/screen sharing, which is a staple of Discord that users are very used to.

I know a straight cis femboy who wants to take HRT - I dont fully understand it, but I respect its his right to do what he wants with his body and identify however he pleases.

Some people just want more customization options I guess

This is a fantastic read. I wasnt around for the prime days of forums but I did experience them a bit.

I’m becoming extremely concerned about the number of topics and projects that are migrating to Discord. My main issue is that it is not and never will be publically indexed, and among other problems, is itself a corporate walled garden we consider to be “one of the good ones”.

I really hope we find and establish a “low executive cost” solution before the next time Discord fumbles (which is inevitable) and we can claw some of that activity back.

But people are so used to seamless voice and video chat nowadays - and that’s a technical hurdle that AFAIK, no open-source self-hostable projects have come close to solving.

Wouldn’t that be a sail by?

Kill your lawn. Replace it with native flora.

Oh, I need this thread. I’ve been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.

They fired on them after they had surrendered to Ukrainian forces.

Unconscionable.

Everyone blames food/diet/portions for this, but personally I think the car-centric culture should also bear a large portion of the blame.

When I stayed with friends in Europe, they easily ate as much as my American friends, but everywhere we went we were either walking or biking.

Meanwhile, in the VAST majority of the US, if you so much as want a safe place to walk that isn’t adjacent to the pervasive pedestrian-hostile street design, you need to take a car to get there.

American car culture essentially turns the average routine into ferrying oneself from chair to desk to chair to bed, intermixed with brief walks throgh scenic parking lots.

We need to counter the sedentary lifestyle within the design of our actual cities, but its the american way to push societal problems onto the responsibility of the individual… so I do not see this changing within our lifetimes.

I’ve been trying to find a more privacy-friendy alternative to Discord but I keep coming back to the issue of screen sharing. No other platform does it as smoothly.

The best I’ve found is using Parsec with some virtual audio cables to avoid voice feedback.

I feel this in my very soul

I went to a conference this weekend, and it slowly dawned on me how every single one of the vendors was selling their app hosted on AWS. That’s all it is. Just different flavors of AWS.

Even if you dont interact with AWS directly, every business needs business services - you can bet that no matter what you’re buying or who you’re buying it from, some of your money is going directly to AWS marketplace.

Oh man. If I need to download an app to pay for a meal I’m never going back to that place again.

This is so sweet. Thank you for sharing your joy with us.

We need a snek community on Lemmy

Sounds like another reason to standardize easily replaceable batteries.

If you can’t trust a battery in a device, you should be able to replace it with a trusted one.

Incredible title

Excellent take. It is a clear indicator of an individualist mindset.

Jesus, a fucking LRAD? Those things are NASTY
