I thought he got famous for anti-semetic jokes he made in his late-20’s.

any of the tens (hundreds?) of alternative servers that offer literally exactly the same thing.

Awesome Lemmy Instances shows nearly 500 and its outdated.

Some people pay a lot of attention to what instances people are from. I think I’ve had someone who jumped to negative assumptions about me because of what instance I’m using and I think I might have seen like one person from this instance - I pretty much never see people using the same instance, so its weird imagining someone seeing it enough to have an assumption about the users.

There are some servers that are a bit more tight-knit (hexbear comes to mind).

Only time I have the problem is when people attach large files. While is the same problem with other “IM” methods.

Agreed most others wouldn’t use email as a replacement for casual chat, but its always seemed like an arbitrary choice. So many people waste so much space in emails because they treat them like letters, so the biggest difference seems to be the culture around them rather than the medium itself. If people formatted all text messages as

"Hello Dear Friend,

Here is stuff to waste space.

Here’s what I actually want to say.

More extra stuff.

Sincerely, Walrus"

I doubt we would see that much of a difference between them.

How so? Seems like just a slightly different UI for the same thing to me?

Feel like Matrix or Email would have made more sense as a federated service for communication, but get Signal is a lot more well known.

Changing icons to color helps me find which ones I’m looking for. Seems weird it defaults to it looking like they’re greyed out because they won’t work on the current selection.

Probably things like homophobia.

Metadata Some cursors cannot become SVGs, and that’s fine. Some cursors are used for more than one shape, and that’s fine. Some cursors are animated, and that’s fine! All of a shape’s properties are described in a small meta.hl file alongside them.

Seems like it should support it?

W11 also has an annoying snap behavior between monitors, which may have led to that decision. My left monitor is 720p and my main is 4K. On W10, I kept the monitors aligned at the top and it made it really easy to land on the bottom left corner of the main screen. Now it jumps up to the left monitor doing the same thing.

VSOs are my favorite thing about owning a 3d printer. Was cleaning my closet the other day and came across my old desktop speakers where the stand for one had broken and I printed something to hold it upright that fit better than I expected on a first draft. Was kinda sad tossing it out.

But AT&T does or at least did. You can/could put it in bridge mode though and use a secondary one. https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/207988076-Setting-up-eero-with-AT-T-U-verse https://forums.att.com/conversations/att-internet-equipment/can-i-use-a-different-modem-and-router-to-connect-with-uverse-internet/5df0012dbad5f2f6063a903b https://robotpoweredhome.com/att-modems/

For Comcast, I never said you can’t just get unlimited. Just that it cost more than getting the modem with unlimited: https://www.xfinity.com/learn/internet-service/data $25/month for modem+unlimited while its $30/month for unlimited. Cheaper to take the modem even if you don’t use it.

You give a discount if people use windows?

Pretty sure AT&T in the US requires the use of their “U-verse” modems with a lot of their internet options. I think comcast locked unlimited data behind using their modem unless you wanted to pay more for the unlimited data than they charge for the modem. I never tried turning on bridge mode on them though, so no clue if that’s enabled or not.

Used it for cloning some laptops recently without much issue. Cloned one laptop’s primary partition onto an SD card and then imaged the others no problem. Laptops were 256GBs capacity (but only like 30-60 GBs used) and the SD card was 64 GBs. Seemed pretty simple to me.

There’s a lot of options for those who want to do things like deploy over a network, but I haven’t messed with them seriously (I didn’t have the ethernet cables to do it - wasted a bit of time trying before realizing they weren’t connect to a network; maybe there’s a way to connect via wifi, but I didn’t see it)

30 in Texas and the two are used interchangeably here too.

Sometimes my boss will use mention “zoom” when scheduling a virtual meeting between us and clients, but we choose which platform we use and most of us don’t use zoom. So its sorta being used like that.

A google zoom. (actually its meet)
