Hardly ever I come across a person more self centered and a bigger fan of virtue signaling as you. You ignored literally everything we said, and your alternative was just “sms”. Even to the point of saying that the other commenter should stop talking to their 47 friends and family members.

Lots of people. I need it because it’s how my clients at work prefer to communicate with me, also how all my family members and friends communicate.

Yes, there are. You just have to live in one of the many many countries in the world where the overwhelming majority of the population uses whatsapp as their communication app. Like my country. Where not only friends and family, but also businesses and government entities use WhatsApp as their messaging app. I have at least a couple hundred reasons to use WhatsApp, including all my friends, all my family members, and all my clients at work. Do I like it? Not really. Do I have a choice? No. Just like I don’t have a choice on not using gmail, because that’s the email provider that the company I work for decided to go with.

Right?! It’s literally just a messenger, honestly, all I expect from it is that it’s an easy and reliable way of sending messages to my contacts. Anything else is questionable.

Oh, that’s quite cheap! I was afraid it was going to be one of those “cool indie tech” products that costs hundreds of dollars and makes no sense for the consumer except as a cool gimmick. If they can make them a bit cheaper through mass production, this might actually be an alternative.

This is cool, but how much was it?

I use syncthing with obsidian, and save my files in a cloud synced folder on my desktop. Free sync across all my devices, plus easy cloud backups.

Great! I hope he fucks America deep enough, it’s high time for that Empire to crumble. I just also hope rhat he doesn’t destroy the rest of the world with him, just the part of the world that voted for him. If he can take a few multi-billion dollar corporations down a peg with him might be even better.

Oh damn! I watched the show many years ago, but the joke flew straight over my head.

What’s 10 dollars? The people saying this are too rich to understand poor numbers. They probably think in terms of “a new pc costs less than an hour at my favorite spa, people are complaining too much”.

From my experience, those last years. But they are indeed a bit expensive… I have had my eco tank for the last 5 years, only had to replace the b/w printer head after around 4 thousand prints, and I’m almost sure it was my own fault for using expired low-quality ink that I had bought in bulk for super cheap.

The lack of details is so they can invest a few dozen millions in Trump’s private funds.

On their mobile app is one every few posts. I’ve seen as many as one every three in the main feed. It was simply unbearable.

It seems that the data shows that most school shooters are white. I bet this is going to cause a lot of head scratches when the “black box” starts profiling whites.

Around my region, South America, everybody used MSN as well. We went through a phase of using Skype, but it was too resource heavy in comparison with MSN. Later on, people who needed voice chat for games played around with several different apps, until we finally settled with Discord back in 2016. Say all you want about Discord, but I’ve been using it for almost a decade at this point, and if your need is to have voice and text chat and easy screen sharing for gaming, it’s basically the golden standard. The problem started when people started using it as a replacement for forums.

Your monitor is “smart”?

“brain dead easy thing”… All you need is to just manage signal integrity of super fast speed ram to a super hungry state of the art soc that benefits from as fast of memory as it can get. Sounds easy af. /s

They said that it was possible, but they lost over half of the speed doing it, so it was not worth it. It would severely cripple performance of the SOC.

The only real complaint here is calling this a desktop, it’s somewhere in between a NUC and a real desktop. But I guess it technically sits on a desk top, while also being an itx motherboard.

I have the news in Brazilian-portuguese if you want.

Tl;Dr: repeat of what happened to Twitter basically, Moraes issued the takedown of a right wing/conservative brazilian influencer on Rumble on the basis of spreading misinformation and fake news (no surprise there), but Rumble has no legal representation in Brazil, which makes the company illegal to operate here. He ordered that they appoint someone as legal representation for the company in 48 hours, that was Thursday, feb 20, and they didn’t comply. Rumble was fined and Moraes ordered the platform to be thoroughly and completely blocked in Brazil until they pay their fines and appoint someone as legal representation.

Essentially, just a giant W.
