No, closest thing is to join a datahoarder group and trade when needed.

Although with LinkWarden gaining popularity, something like this developing is a possibility.

That is interesting, the last time i tried Element/matrix it did not have these features. Can I ask, is your screen sharing of a quality that you can stream videos and games at equivilant frame rates?

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

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.

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

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.

That is fascinating - thank you for taking the time to share :)

I’ve had the opposite - they marked me down as having 2 jobs (originally started as a part timer) so I was paying way more than I needed to. Only noticed when my refund went over a grand.

Unless production is down. Then it is often the reverse.

I need to try this, it looks great!

God, these phones look cool.

The price to performance ratio is awful, but man, I love how these phones look.

This is a nice thread. I don’t have any big achievements recently but I’m doing alright. Hope you are too.

Wasn’t that expensive when I went last year, actually felt relatively affordable. Actually, all of Europe felt affordable compared to food prices in the US…

From experience, Lemmy/Mastadon is a lot easier to pitch to potential users than Linux lol

I really need to learn git. Wouldn’t it be possible, even trivial, to simply host your own repository nowadays?

Make an app that is a little ASCII potted plant in your terminal and every time you type something it waters the plant and it grows

Commenting so I can grab this later

I understand where you’re coming from, and I don’t mean to minimize the issue - just didn’t expect my reply to incite a serious discussion about the pitfalls of addiction. Its absolutely an important subject involving many complicated factors.

For context, though, I can assure you that my comment did not come from a place of subconscious interest. I place incredible value on maintaining a clear state of mind, and go to great strides to keep it that way. I would never willingly jeprodaize it.
