In addition to the mentions that this isn't encrypted, doesn't have video chat, etc, it's also difficult to set up with little documentation and an enormous tech stack. They also had some recent controversy about open source licensing that gives me a bit of worry. I decided to go with a self-hosted synapse server.

Wait wait wait, you said it was a gay man that was stabbed? Sorry, my hands are tied. Playbook says gay guys can't get stabbed.

I'm glad that the entire millennial generation is just you. Again, I'm a late millennial and I was barely older than 10 when YouTube came out and I was watching both that and Google Video before they were acquired. That stuff doesn't have to be just one generation only.

I have to imagine it's because Socrates also believed that writing and reading information harmed our thinking. He thought that memory was the most important, and expected oral recollections of all his teachings.
...which definitely sounds like more criticism of youth 😂

Only minorly on that front. I'm right on the youngest end of the millenials, and I was 15 when it first surfaced. It took only a couple years for Cartoon Network to pick it up, so it definitely captured an audience, though it may have been a mix of zoomers and the latest millennials. But it certainly doesn't detract from my point, and it can definitely be substituted for stuff like Homestar Runner or Salad Fingers.

This generational hatred will never end.
Were millennials not brainrotted when we were younger? We watched The Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn. The most subscribed YouTube channel was Fred.

The Innuendo Studios series' on YouTube Alt-Right Playbook and Why Are You So Angry especially illustrate this well and I highly recommend watching. It's very similar to what happened during gamergate. A lot of men who are frustrated are misled by these reactionary campaigns. Just like everyone else, they face the struggles of patriarchy, toxic masculinity, capitalism, etc. But Andrew Tate tells them it's not their fault, and reassures their insecurities that they're good guys, and tells them that the problem is women.

That's right, everybody knows that the left and the right are perfectly equally bad, and the act of voting to stop the bleeding and starting a revolution are mutually exclusive /s
And then after years of this nonsense, people wonder how the poor voter turnout that got the fascist elected happened.

It's mildly entertaining at times to scroll through the reviews of the HEIF Image Extension in the Microsoft Store. Microsoft doesn't care one bit how bad they are.

I'm as late as millenials get and I got a 4 😭 I never recorded radio to cassete, I never rented from Blockbuster, never listened to a boombox outside, and never used a rotary phone. I had the advanced technology of touch tone

Around that age, I remember reading The White Mountains, it's worth considering

Not to mention, the documentation to set it up was awful, it took me months to get it working and I still had problems with the MinIO container so it wouldn't upload attachments or pictures for profiles. Even getting past that, the stack required more containers added after the fact to support voice chat. I gave up when I saw drama go down last year about how the project wasn't fully open sourcing.

The only thing Windows has ever done with my HDR is decide for no reason to put insane contrast and color temps on my displays. Then I have to flick it on and off repeatedly until it looks a bit less terrible

How to get rid of ulcer pain... In this healthcare system, probably

The behavior doesn't feel much different, but the smaller community makes it more common for people to engage with you, and that makes it feel more like a community.

It doesn't look like you can draw in your notes, but this looks good! I think I might give it a try.

I really want a FOSS solution for my notetaking, but I feel like I want too much. I love how well OneNote works with my Surface in terms of drawing notes, but I also love writing notes in Markdown and graph structure. I've at least been trying out Dendron for the latter, and it's been alright.

The cable in my car for Android Auto goes bad after a few months of use from the weather, I've gone through quite a few like that
