Its self hostable now, and I’m my playing around with the self hosted version it seems fine

Its honestly really good now in my experience. Honestly wish people used it instead of Zoom.

Ive been using Jitsi for screen sharing and calls :p

I’m pretty sure its supposed to be Discord. Discords tagline used to start with “Imagine a place where X” which is why theyre saying “Imagine a matrix client” lol

This looks interesting, and if they can get VC & E2EE it will definitely be something I’ll make the switch to from Matrix. As much as I love Matrix, it feels very messy and uncoordinated.

Did you try Cinny?

If they were to be independently audited by multiple Privacy firms and/or open source their codebase I wouldnt be as concerned about giving them data and maybe even paying for something like YTPremium, but as it stands its a black box. I dont know what theyre doing, why should they get to know what I’m doing? Privacy should be a two way street imho. If the cost of privacy is that they wouldnt be able to maintain their infrastructure, I’d rather see their company fail.

Does google/patreon do country/state/county/province tax calculation? I’d be surprised as when I was working DoorDash they wouldnt even do as much as a free trial of TurboTax to get you started. The wrote you a check and it was on you to figure the rest out

This isnt entirely true. They can fingerprint your browser very easily, even if you use always private sessions that delete cookies. Something as simple as the size of your window can be used to identify you.

Yeah this is also a frustration I have. I dont want to sign up for patreon or Google just to support someone. Give me a Kofi, liberapay or monero option.

None of the creators I want to follow are on peertube, and I have no social media to ask them to move, nor do I want to engage with those platforms.

https://furry.energy/@nightpaws/113160692379772043 I read this earlier today. Am I better off just deleting my LinkedIn?

Is this actually happening and how can I start a lawsuit around it?

I have no idea. What I do know is that in the US we are restricted to playing the Capitalism Game. That means that we vote with our wallets, and I do everything in my power to let everyone around me know which companies are shitty and should be avoided at all costs. So far Ive been responsible for about 5 amazon prime cancelations :)

Imma be real most of the time I just say fuck it and act like anon. My defense with HR would be that Israeli guy stated a racist comment first, and if I get fired then I’ll have a company to add to the list of neurodivergent discriminators. I don’t have the patience to play that stupid back and fourth.

I like the word “republitard”

GrayJay and CloudStream are the only two things that I’m aware of that support it yet. This is a very new application, it hasn’t really officially launched yet.

Bait used to be believable. Any respectable family guy fan KNOWS her name is LOIS and not LOUIS. wth. Next thing ykno this fella is going to say hes never heard of fingernails4cash.com

Not if those friends care about having their data sold to advertisers.

Except companies have learned the meta, and now a bunch of search queries for Reddit are filled with ads on Reddit. (not to mention you have to use google to get their results now.)
