This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
mmmm, i hate discord, anybody have any good self hosted recommendations? Preferably, fully featured, or featureful, and not some random garb.
Flirting with matrix, the concept fucks. I just haven't gotten around to doing anything with it yet. I know there area few others, like revolt, which is kind of a mess, and various others in the same category.
TeamSpeak 3 now has a UI similar to discord.
hmm, interesting. Teamspeak was never really something i've bothered looking into. Might give it a look, though to be clear, im not interface picky, i hate discord, through and through, it's awful.
Not related to the article itself, but I'm curious why use of archive.is has become so popular around here considering that they refuse to provide DNS replies without edns personal information attached? I'm not familiar with the politics involved, but a lot of DNS providers are getting blocked by archive.is for not providing that info, including my own home DNS server and cloud flare 1.1.1.1 and many others, so I'm surprised to see it gaining popularity on Lemmy.
I use the .is link for everything because it's the only way to reliably get into most of the paywalled articles form sites like WSJ. The other archive sites have already been blacklisted and get served a paywalled copy or blank "please enable javascript" page.
I knew nothing of it's DNS funkiness.
Do you have an alternative that it would be reasonable for people to know about?
Between a corpo job only using teams and email and international folks all using WhatsApp I kinda want to just go back to irc and stay there forever. Everything that came after it has just been worse.
I still have a copy of my irc bot setup somewhere....
Yup, also my experience. Maybe Jabber. Jabber was great.
They also are forcing US users into arbitration unless you opt out by May 15th by emailing [email protected], so you can't sue them. This is similar to LG with their compressor fiasco in their fridges where they put arbitration agreement crap on the box.
In the past month I noticed ads inside Viber desktop (it's used a lot here, instead of WhatsApp)
Later I got a call from a friend that his windows defender picked up a trojan in Viber files.. Next day I got it too.
I shit you not, they let out an update with malware, on a popular chat app. I uninstalled and got the next update, with blind trust, I can't migrate atm...
