I have a private discord that me and my friends use to hang out and game. I guess I need to test how it fits our need.

Does matrix have decent voice chat?

It’s not even to make money, they already do that. They need GROWTH. More money this quarter than last or the stockholders don’t get paid.

I think given the current political situation this is the right call. No one knows what the Russian government might compel otherwise innocent devs to do.

That said, we (and I mean society, not any particular individual) should be mindful that we don’t slip into bigotry.

I saw this quote a while back “if you only make code that works in chrome you aren’t a web developer, you are a google developer.”

I use Ubuntu, I’ve used Arch, Debian, Fedora, Pop and many others too. I use Ubuntu because all my hardware works out of the box. Snaps are inoffensive imo. I have just as many issues with abandoned debs or flatpaks and I usually just use whatever package is more maintained.

The most annoying thing about Ubuntu is how slow the packages are sometimes to make it to a release.

I find the tech interesting, but the rush to commercialize it was a bad idea. It’s not ready yet, total uncanny valley.

So long-term it did not resolve my issue. I also tried updating pipewire using PPA repositories. still have the issue.

its been 2 hours and no issues… looks like it might have solved it. 🤞

just did pipewire, we shall see.

I just installed last week, could that really be messed up already?

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. You will love it.

I also really like the bobiverse books by Dennis E Taylor. They got a similar vibe in my opinion.

I think this is very much a YMMV situation. I moved from twitter to mastodon and brands aside, all of the interesting people I followed are here. granted, I follow a very developer centric crowd so it might be a bit self-selecting. I am enjoying Mastodon way more than twitter and I get more engagement on average.

He’s banking on the name “Twitter” still meaning something and there being no viable alternatives. Threads has really shown that twitter isn’t as ubiquitous as we all assumed.

I’m pretty upset that this isn’t just an update, but a new game. with all the DLC and mods in the old one and this game taking up over 500GB of storage. installing both is gonna be a real pain.
