The reality of Discord and its alternatives

From my quick testing I did the other day, the conclusion I came to was:

  • Fluxer looks like the easiest drop-in replacement for my group. I agree I am also a little hesitant about its longevity & funding.
  • Matrix UX leaves some to be desired, but it's functional and I like the E2EE.
  • We don't have anyone good enough at selfhosting in my group to even attempt Spacebar.
  • Stoat just doesn't seem viable. Lack of screenshare is a big issue for my group.

Surprisingly, the new TeamSpeak 6 looks pretty okay to me, but the UX is pretty different so might have a little bit of a learning curve for some people in my group. It costs money for a server but honestly my group is fine with that. We used to pay for a Mumble server back in the day but it doesn't have robust text channels so we don't want to move back to that.

Such a hard choice

Following this thread with interest, because I'm currently fumbling and changing it often. Can't find something I like.

I know my parents picked a female name for me (they didn't check ultrasounds before birth) but unfortunately I don't know what it was. I am really curious to know. Unfortunately I'm not able to ask them. I wonder if I can dig up some old records...

edit: I found it written in my baby book. Pretty emotional experience tbh. I'll try it out.

I remember one time as a young adult eating a cake for dinner, paired with a large beer.

I realized in the midst of my severe tummy ache that perhaps there are reasons why my parents didn't let me do such things 😆

Kill your lawn

I'm about it! However, my lawn just grows naturally. I've never watered it or fertilized it and I have an electric mower.

Still though, I've considered just letting it be come fully natural. The video only touched on that briefly. I thought it was going to be the focus-- supporting local plants and wildlife.
