  • I need Charlotte's take on more things.

  • If Trump orders soldiers to shoot Americans, he seems to have a willing ‘yes man’ at the Pentagon

  • As a guy who spent the majority of his life in a dictatorship, you're correct: be very careful of what you say online.

    There's a point that they eventually get to where they just send law enforcement after you for things like tweets - they do it to make examples of folk, so they end up casting a very wide net. It's definitely not worth getting caught in it.

    Having said that, I still like the US! Just need to apply the usual fascist state warnings from now on: watch what you say, mind who you spend time with, and watch where you go. Avoid large crowds etc. etc.

  • I consider it significantly more civilized to pre-cut meats and fried foods. (reduces the requirement to use gaudy steak knives on a table - especially with fried foods)

    To each their own, but it definitely hasn't lost its food porn status over that - if anything, I think the slices have elevated it.

    Edit: Welp, looks like I'm dying on this hill.

    Edit 2: Here's a photo of some steak and mushroom pasta I made the other day - notice how the steak is pre sliced. I don't care about the down votes, I'm here eating my food with nothing but a fork and a smile.

  • OP is a fan of a game, and is excited for its release. So excited that OP is making in-jokes from that game's fan-community without regard for whether the references are understood or not.

  • Spain aims to ban flushing of wet wipes, with manufacturers paying for cleanup

  • All the Japanese ones are like this - referred to as "Washlets" in Toto's case. Iirc the bidet terminology can be problematic in the EU as bidets are technically what they use in Italy.

    Good luck finding one, but Toto definitely sells them there, too! See here for more info.

  • I use a Toto Washlet C2. I live in an old apartment that only has the classic "round" styled seats (to save space), and this works with that.

    Couldn't recommend it more. Has a self wash, but I still wash it every couple of months by hand.

    No dirtier than a normal toilet, and the premist functionality reduces stickage and the amount I need to clean.

    No need to get an ultra fancy toilet, and this model (the c2) has all the fancy features at a relatively low price (no detachable remote, no profiles, no instant water heater) (I don't think any of those are worth the extra cost).

  • Your "the only way" argument is literally how they are all sold. Maybe do even the lightest bit of research before declaring you have no option but to continue doing the worst thing possible?

    "We've done nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

    Edit: Reading this back I was kind of mean. Obviously you're entitled to your own preferences, but bidets have solved most of those problems already and are definitely worth checking out.

  • It doesn't.

    It has features for video/voice calling - E.g. Background blurring and stuff like that. It just lacks the stuff that would make it usable for gaming.

  • I meant for video. The classic coturn connection is fine for voice - though I wish it had push to talk. 🥲

  • Or they could choose to host their rooms on some existing server, I guess.

    I mean, that's sort of the point, right? Don't host unless you want to.

    There are lots of great, long lasting servers with open registration out there. This blog post has some good examples:

  • "something running" - do you mean the server binary? Because, yes, if you're using your own server you do need it to be running. Same for the client, I guess? I guess I don't really understand what you meant by that.

    Some obscure service relied on it as a support channel and last thing I remember is that matrix server stopped working.

    That's an issue with any federated service, yeah. If the server is down, it's down. But as a bonus, unlike Discord, when a server is down you can just move to another. So, honestly, I see that as a boon.

    As far as p2p goes, there was an effort to make that a while back, but it looks like people lost interest.

    Though, personally I think federation is good enough. That's why I'm on Lemmy/the Fediverse, after all.

  • Technically speaking, Element does have "voice and video rooms" available as an experimental feature, but until it's out of prime time it totally makes sense to wait.

    Gotta remember that Element/New Vector (the company spearheading Matrix's development) is getting funded mostly by orgs who are looking for a replacement for internal comms like Slack or WhatsApp.

  • This is outdated and no longer preferred, it now has its own internal system called Element Call (aka an implementation of MatrixRTC).

  • Yeah, I've done the same and it works quite well.

    The only thing I was really missing from Discord was Ai noise cancellation like Krisp - and I got that by installing Easy Effects

  • The issue has been there for ages. Sadly gamers aren't really Element's target audience.

    Makes more sense to wait for MatrixRTC to enter the spec cleanly, then wait for a custom Discord-like client to implement it.
