I’d argue that large parts of Lower Decks is as well honestly. Especially episodes where the main characters are busy with ship duties while the senior officers are off doing typical Star Trek plot stuff.

My immediate thought of leftist/progressive gaming influencers was F1nn5ter. I’m not really into that circle of content creation though.

Not that I disagree with the spirit of what you’re saying, but bluesky is not even close to a “massive” corporation. According to this they have a net worth of $7.23m, going as low as $600k in October last year. I know of plenty of local restaurants and other small businesses with a higher net worth than that.

Except running a train is a real job.

skill issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It does for me, but I have auditory processing issues so your mileage may vary. Discord also just has a lot of issues, like audio sources messing up, or calls cutting completely for up to ten seconds for no discernible reason.

But even a standard voice server is better quality than a phone.

It really isn’t in my experiences, but maybe it’s different in Australia? As well, other services like Telegram or Signal have way better quality too. Discord just kinda sucks.

I mean yea, absolutely, but HD Voice can do 128kbps and comparatively that’s better than Discord. The other person’s comment seemed a bit snarky so I wanted to refute their assertion.

Maybe if you pay for Nitro. Without it, the standard call quality is only 96kbps. Meanwhile VoLTE/VoNR and HD Voice have made mobile phone calls typically equal or higher quality. If you only ever call corporate, business or government services, those are typically still narrowband though, so you’re not going to notice.

Thanks for telling me what I needed to know.

Okay, but are you going to be satisfied with anything short of them saying “I’m anti-LGBT”?

(as far as we have seen)

Speak for yourself? They have repeatedly politicised changes that make the codebase more inclusive. The thread you linked too did get heated, but this seperate PR was perfectly calm and they still locked it, while providing really contradictory reasoning. They say they don’t want to “alienate anyone who’d like to join in the project” but their use of male-gendered pronouns throughout is doing just that…

Oh yea, Baikal is incredibly light and they do publish an arm docker image. You could absolutely tun a bunch of other services off the same SBC if it’s a RPi4 or stronger.

I don’t think it’s E2EE, because it uses open standards, bur you could self-host (including on a VPS if that’s easier) a Baikal server. It does contact sync as well, using the CalDAV and CardDAV standards.

You’re right that it’s not cloud-based, but it’s still “always online” software. It’s the same as a video game that doesn’t function without the internet. I don’t think you need to be such an ass about the distinction.

As a German who was taught all the dark times of our nation in school, I can confidently say that us causing the second War To End All Wars is almost as bad as this company’s behaviour.

Yikes friend… this reads like a different flavour of holocaust denial…

I wonder if one of their existing mainboards would fit in the form factor of something like a Legion Go (which is quite a bit larger than a Steam Deck)

This isn’t entirely true though. Devs could target an AppImage for example.

Bingo. And if you don’t use apps with ads, like only using jellyfin, you get none at all.

BNW?
