  • Sharkord - an open-source self-hostable Discord alternative with voice, video, and real-time messaging.

  • Reminds me of the guy in that show Silicon Valley who was basically a plant / spy (Jianyang?), and his grand visions for all his apps were creatively named:

    "Chinese Facebook, Chinese Instagram, Chinese Twitter. . ."

    Lol

  • Right on!

    I don't know if there's a hardware trading community yet. I think one challenge is simply how lemmy seems to aim for more general anonymity than reddit, and the DM system isn't really used to my understanding. (Except by "that fediverse girl" LOL)

    Establishing a sense of reasonable trustworthiness to thwart bad actors might take some work.

  • YES!!

    When I stall and forget what the heck I was saying, thanks to this video I'll sometimes just go "...uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...AEIOU..."

    Probably about how I'd react to having to fix a component on a moon base too. XD

    "Snake? SNAKE? Saaaaaaake 🍶...."

  • closed source and VC backed

    Basically a non-starter at this point.

    Maybe used to be these startups would compete for user affections by being more benevolent.

    But nowadays the bare basics of even being competitive in the business is having a plan for gaining critial mass and then rapidly enshittifying for revenue before selling your product users to some new private equity overlords.

    Open source used to be more of just a preference, or a virtue. Now it's basically the only way to not guarantee your exploitation.

  • they do facial scanning and then put you in groups based on their assessment.

    That's....SO creepy.

  • Something about it isn't as super-convenient like Discord but, Signal desktop has a pretty good screen presentation mode that works pretty well. I dunno how bad the latency is or anything though.

  • back in my day Ventrilo

    Ahh "Vent." My biggest memory there is people trolling with the sign-on TTS.

    "My ROFLCOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI...."

    Anybody remember the brief flash in the pan that was "X-fire"? Haha

  • GitHub - spacebarchat/spacebarchat: 📬 Spacebar is a free open source selfhostable discord compatible communication platform

  • And thaaaat's why it's head/tailscale or nothing for me. I'm smart enough to know I don't know enough to be absolutely confident I won't get SHODAN'd and end up crying over a home network catastrophe, never feeling truly secure ever again.

    Every now and then it's tempting to get those fun features in containers like Nextcloud, like public links and federation, but it's not worth the risk IMHO. Not when there's state-class adversarial bots written by stupidly smart people roaming the landscape. <_<

  • Aw thanks!

    <3 long time lurker, seldom poster. 😂

    Hoping to change that and contribute more. :)

  • (also to @luciferofastora@feddit.org)

    Good point and agreed! I'm a little new to posting so I thought it was polite to include the source where I found it.

    At first glance I thought the poster coincidentally found these images side by side in their gallery, and that's where the humor was.

    Even though that poster clearly got it secondhand too, I didn't wanna be "ripping them off" lol.

    I edited the post to include the raw image. Thanks for clearing up community expectations / culture for me though. :)

  • I dunno now I'm intrigued to check out emacs. Somehow I learned all the complex finger-ballet to operate Blender mostly by keyboard shortcuts as intended, so maybe that'll soften the learning curve? :D

  • Now that's how you do in-universe self-aggrandizing lol. Love GoG.

  • The sheer level of detail is insane. Such a cool project!

    I miss the days where I would've had so much after school time to fire something like this up and get obsessed with it. :D

  • An thanks for the correction. When it said "Foreign intelligence person and someone close to Trump I assumed it meant like, same country close if not same general address lol.

  • Okay cool, cool, so does this mean ridiculous data centers will use these things, and then can I get another 4TB RED for my NAS so I can fit my whole life on a mirrored total of 8TB without paying 8x what it's worth, please?

    Thaaaaanks...
