Whole article? It’s 10 sentences.

Haven’t tried it myself but Tiny Glade just came out and looks like something that might fit that vibe.

Or Dorfromantik

Bought a Pinecil a few weeks ago. No problems.

Ooo I just found out element added support for drop-in/drop-out voice and video rooms. That’s the real killer feature they’ve been lacking I think. Will have to try it out.

Yeah, I saw that element is using jitsi under the hood for its screensharing. If that makes for a seamless user experience, that’s great. It’s been like 10 years since I last tried Jitsi, but it was not smooth.

TBH both disc and slack have their downsides, disc more so, so I’m fine if they just take the best of all worlds.

But yeah, screensharing is the deciding factor for me. As much as all my friends hate discord, we use screensharing all the time (it’s just a bit jankier getting it working on Linux).

This one is clearly made to look like slack, which is great I need to try this out. Just wish someone would make one that looks like disc. And then matrix needs screensharing support.

Does it work now? I tried it around a year ago and couldn’t get voice to work at all. It even had a message saying they were in the process of rewriting their voice streaming backend, and the legacy path may just be broken.

Discord compatible bots run on whatever server you run them on, they’re not owned or run by Discord.

It says the client is compatible with both space-bar and discord.com, so yeah, if you use it with discord, expect all the downsides of discord.

lol, you got me, i definitely hadn’t thought of that.

Yeah, the only question is whether human brains are also just that.

Lol ok, then I guess I didn’t understand what the alternative would be when you suggested putting the OSes on different partitions.

They’re definitely not suggesting having both OSes in the same partition (even though that is technically possible using winbtrfs, it is objectively an insane thing to do).

Looks like this is in the standard Fedora /etc/skel/.bashrc.

What more do you need?!

Lol but seriously,

Remove: ...gnome-shell...

That’ll do it.

Yeah, exactly. Very rare.

I agree that malicious firmware could cause the battery to combust, but I don’t think it would be lethal except in the rarest of circumstances. When li-ion batteries fail, they usually don’t explode so much as rapidly catch fire and spew toxic fumes. As an attack on a person, I don’t think you’d achieve much more than some burns and maybe respiratory irritation. It would probably be more successful to use it to start a house fire when no one is looking.

But also, the agencies capable of doing this aren’t spending the resources to do it on some random person. They were targeting very specific people.

Depends on when you played it. It came out in a decade of generic war shooters (including other spec ops games) so the subversion slid under most people’s radar, which was intended. There are subtle hints as you play, but iirc the scene described above was the first time the game really slaps you across the face.

It took a few years for the game to gain a cult following and recognize it for what it is. Nowadays the only people who go back to play it already have some idea of what they’re getting into.

I don’t think people who refer to “Anonymous” are referring to “the average 4channer”.

If you’re ok with being up front with people, you could just say “hey, do you mind giving me some alone time while I eat? It’s nothing personal, I just prefer to use this time to recharge by myself.”

If you’d prefer to manufacture an excuse, you could tell her you’re going to use your lunch hour to try a new mindfulness meditation technique you heard about, and need to avoid conversation during that time.

If you have the option to take your lunch somewhere else where she won’t find or bother you, that’s an option.

I think usually just keeping your nose in your book a few seconds too long before giving short answers to questions, then going right back to reading, is enough discomfort for a person like her that even if she didn’t get the hint that you don’t care to be bothered, she would at least prefer talking to someone else instead.
