  • Is there a secure video chat that does not require a phone number?

  • You can use element for that, just don't use a matrix.org account.

  • What are social status games? Are we hardwired to want social status?

    Jump

  • Ah I think I understand now.

    Yeah, I would agree that people are hardwired to feel pressure to fit in socially. There's a balance too, if you don't stand out at all your chances of fulfilling those needs could be harmed. But if you're too odd, you'll be shunned. The internet did wonders connecting odd ducks to each other.

  • Are you talking about social pressures like when your coworkers all have better cars than you?

  • In my humble opinion you should be entitled to a minimum of 75% of your day for personal use.

  • What's your uptime?

    Jump

  • I regularly reboot everything to install security updates and such. I know you can hotpatch but I don't trust it.

  • I use total commander (for Android) it has various features to send files between devices. Works really well if you have SFTP set up on your computer, but it has other options.

    It's also possible to connect phones together with a USBC cable and do it that way too.

  • I'm not an artist. If I sketch something, and have an ai upscale it for me, is it still slop, vs just asking it to do everything?

    Jump

  • Seems the community is calling it ai assisted.

    Plus there's professional tools now that do it automatically for you in a similar way. So imho if it's free of errors. I wouldn't call it slop

  • What happened if the 5th attempt failed?

    Any networking horror stories from apartments that provided internet?

  • So, that test I posted also shows the condition of the connection. Not sure if your tests also had that.

    Your concern is warranted, the nature of the connection can be difficult to determine. You could use a home router setup to connect to a trusted endpoint such as a VPN service. That would help you avoid immediate concerns, should that not be possible due to aggressive filtering methods. I wouldn't sign that agreement, but if forced to do so due to circumstance you could work with your company's IT department for a suitable solution, and for personal look into network privacy tools. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlay_network

  • I've had several customers where I discover their entire apartment is on a double NAT AND on a shared LAN.

    Typically, its not that awful, but there are also lots of landlord specials that use crappy repeaters or the building is locked to a shady contract and you can't do anything to get better service.

    If you are renting a room, the “complementary WiFi” is likely the homeowners router and you're at mercy of that setup.

    Wifi and cellular internet can frequently provide subpar experiences that are sensitive to jitter and packet loss such as video games or voip.

    tldr, you might have a hard time getting your own internet service. Before you sign anything, try testing it with this tool. https://speed.cloudflare.com/

  • I’ve been on a bus that drove into an active flood.

    That was pretty exciting watching everyone jump on their seat to avoid the water.

    But he had to encode everything ahead of time as h264.

  • I had a classmate that managed to dump nitric acid all over themselves doing that. Luckily it wasn’t strong enough to not be funny.

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?
