  • Another one for today

    Jump

  • Beautiful lady gives me a big smile and a kind hello and my first thoughts are: “Don’t get your hoped up, mate. No way she’s single and if she is then no way she’s into someone like you. Be kind, but keep those expectations in check.”

    Hasn’t failed me so far.

  • I was quite out of the loop, but it sems like TeamSpeak 6 is now a full fledged self-hostable Discord alternative? TeamSpeak 6 Is Back: New Design, Screen Sharing, and More

    Jump

  • They have been making advances in their UI design but now it feels like a ‘modern’ late 200’s UI. Would be nice if the UX was properly developed to modern standards so that neurotypical non-techie people could use it.

  • Is screen sharing available for self hosting? Last I checked (6 months ago) the TS server version wasn’t publicly available yet.

    If it is I’ll give it another go!

  • Discord Alternatives, Ranked

    Jump

  • Spacebar sounded really promising when I checked them out years ago.

    The big Discord.com features currently left unimplemented or with partial implementations are: Voice/Video support (WebRTC protocol support implemented, but lacking UDP protocol implementation)

    Unfortunately, seems like it’s still not at a point where it could cover basic Discord functionality.

    Edit: I should be clear, I’m not trying to discourage it. I really hope it succeeds to the goal of parity with Discord! Love to hear from someone who has used it a bit.

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • I looked into Stoat around the time of their name change announcement.

    On the one hand it looks good and is definitely the closest Discord clone at the moment. I was disappointed about a couple of things though:

    • They have a self hosted server option but it doesn’t have the full feature suite and seems like they’ve decided that it won’t in the foreseeable future.
    • They’re aware of federation and have no plans to head down that path for the software.

    Bit of a shame because if I could self host the full software that’d be pretty damn good as a replacement for all of my friends. If it could be federated in a way where servers could work in tandem that’d be a great distributed alternative to Discord for the entire community! I understand why they’re not pursuing those avenues but it’s still a shame.

  • Apple AirPods and Malicious Compliance

    Jump

  • gadget that lasts a few years before you have to toss them and replace them.

    On one hand; yes they are disposable tech. On the other hand I have 2 sets of AirPods that are about 6 years old that I still use regularly.

    I bought a brand new set and it’s amazing how much better the new ones are but I still use one set of my old ones at work and another set at home when I don’t want to risk the new ones. I can’t justify throwing out the old sets when they still work well.

  • 'It was agony': Grandparents injured in Sydney anti-Herzog protest

    Jump

  • I can’t remember who said it, because ABC radio had a bit of a revolving door of right-wing/Jewish representatives on this morning. When asked about police brutality against protesters the response was along the lines of “police took action against violent protestors” (and I’m super paraphrasing here because I can’t remember the wording) “and calling for the death of all Jews”.

    I’m sure not everyone was peaceful but the 2 videos I’ve seen so far were essentially people protesting by just standing around and then having the shit kicked out of them by police. Hell of a stretch to reach the previous statement with the same person blanketing all injured protesters as “radicals” and “violent left” etc.

    Feels like more and more of the narrative twisting that has become an ever increasing problem worldwide these days.

  • Got any evidence of that? /s

  • Discord to Require ID or Face Scan Next Month for Full Access

  • That… would actually make a lot of sense.

  • Finally, a message I can get behind! Do I get my lobotomy now or after orientation?

  • Can One Nation turn its polling hype into seats in parliament? History shows it will struggle

    Jump

  • God I hope not. When I’ve seen them on TV news recently they have been getting glazed by the likes of channel 9 and 10.

  • Not to mention every building in Taiwan is laced with explosives

    Be me in a different life, changing a lightbulb in my Taiwanese home. Slip on the ladder and grab the light holder tearing it from the wall. The wiring breaks against the det. cord causing a neighbourhood wide chain reaction that can be seen from space.

  • It’s funny that DeArrow has lead to me watching more videos with super click bait titles. It’s almost as if actually using the content for the title instead of some vague notion or off content question is more likely to pick a video to watch.

    I know there’s a reason channels do it but this is just my experience.

  • LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market

    Jump

  • I agree. My Plex server is majority 720p with decent bitrate with a lot of 1080p with decent bitrate and a tiny amount of 4K with subpar bitrate (otherwise it’s too large). The 720p is noticeable on the big screen but good luck spotting between 1080p and 4K. It might be different with full 4K Blueray rips but I’m not using 50-80Gb per movie.

  • I know next to nothing about it aside from the bare basics 😅 so any thoughts are welcome.
