  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • Fluxer.app looks promising. It's still in very early dev, but according to the site:

    These features are coming soon:

    • ...
    • Opt-in E2EE messaging
    • E2EE calls
    • Federation
    • ...

    The public beta looks pretty good but it's currently very slow. There is a large refactor going on so I'm hoping for the best, but even in its current state it seems to support many of Discord's biggest features quite well.

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

  • I mean, if all you want is a video game box, and you don't care about privacy, security, or customizability, Windows is more compatible, sure. I wouldn't call it better.

    The games I enjoy (e.g. Portal 2, No Man's Sky, Split Fiction to name a small few) all get noticeably better performance on Mint via Proton than on Windows. But games like Destiny 2, Fortnite, etc. with their invasive anti-cheats will never work on a system that respects the user's privacy.

    So if what you want is compatibility, sure, Windows is king. But you do pay a price.

  • SpaceX is seeking FCC approval to launch 1M satellites into space; SpaceX claims the fleet will orbit the Earth and use the sun to power AI data centers

    Jump

  • I don't think blocking out the sun is the answer to global warming lol

    Having lived through 3 partial/total solar eclipses, even a small shift in the amount of light really fucks with the rhythm of the entire environment. Birds stopped chirping entirely at noon last time. We'd just be replacing one form of global disaster with another.

    Not to mention we'd end up fully saturating the available orbital space around earth, causing constant satellite crashes and the complete inability to launch rockets through the mesh and debris. At a certain point the satellites would cease to function entirely through all the trash orbiting earth and at that point we'd have essentially walled ourselves off from ever safely exploring space. It's a terrible idea all around

  • What are your cheap, but not miserable, recipes?

    Jump

  • One thing I like making is Pesto Pasta. It's just:

    • 2 lbs rotini
    • 1 cup half & half or heavy cream
    • 1 jar pesto
    • 3-4 small tomatoes, diced
    • (opt.) 1 chicken breast, grilled and chopped

    Just boil/drain the pasta, add everything else, stir it together, and you're done. It's easy, cheap, and surprisingly good.

    I make it with Classico traditional pesto which can be a bit pricier (I think it's worth it if you have the extra few dollars) but any kind works. I also tend to add salt to the water before boiling the pasta but it can be added later to taste as well. Usually feeds 6-8 people at like $1-2/person.

  • Would it be realistic to try to set up an america-free instance?

    Jump

  • I mean you're not wrong, but assuming everyone is like you is a critical thinking problem, not an American problem. I just think it's particularly noticeable in Americans because there are a lot of them on the platform and the dumb ones are loud. Doesn't really seem like a problem worth geofencing an entire nation; just block the idiots.

  • I get it, the US fucking sucks. But I didn't choose to be from here and I'm doing my best with what I've got. The fediverse has been one of the only somewhat sane spaces I can get away from the nonstop propaganda machine.

    Block the American communities all you want, but many of us are here to escape the bullshit, not spread it. Sorry our discussion of our politics in communities dedicated to our politics bothers you I guess? You don't really seem to me to understand the point of the fediverse

    • Music production software, esp. Ableton.

    For what it's worth, REAPER works great on Linux. Ik it doesn't fill quite the same niche as Ableton but it is very capable, especially paired with yabridge for using VSTs via WINE.

  • I replace mine when it either breaks or becomes too slow for/incompatible with the apps I use. If it works, why upgrade?

    I also find old phones make for great dash cams. There's a few apps out there built specifically for this purpose and they work pretty well overall

  • I'm confused - it's the only non-semantic standard html container. Ofc it's bad if you're trying to communicate intent, but if it's just for minor layout tweaks, anything else would mess with the document structure. Find me one sufficiently complex website that doesn't use divs lol

  • Even that is pretty easy nowadays with modern CSS:

     HTML
        
<div> <svg /> Text </div>

  

     CSS
        
div {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;

    /* If the SVG needs an offset */
    & svg {
        --offset: ...px, ...px;
        transform: translate(var(--offset));
    }
}
