It’s called the asshole tax. Don’t be an asshole and you won’t be charged.

Slack is my modern go-to, but I still also use IRC. Slack has great support for technical chat, doesn’t slow my i7 with 32GB RAM to a crawl, has great multiple account support and even voice chat if you are into that. I prefer zoom for video when I need it, but slack’s isn’t nearly as shit as teams.

Maybe businesses will stop forcing “free” Teams on their workforces now. What a pile of shit.

Resistance in wire creates a voltage drop, just like hair in a water pipe creates a drop in available pressure.

My new (2023) Philips Roku TV has an antenna input and receives OTA digital channels just fine.

I thought hyperloop literally sucked vehicles through the airtight tunnels. :-)

Or just write the damn thing yourself and save a bunch of headaches and wondering if you got the tests right it if there’s some screwy corner case lurking because of its implementation.

How do you use a phone to detect a laptop in a car? If it’s on, sure I get it but if the laptop is asleep or off I can’t see how a phone will detect it?

I prefer mailing lists to forums, and forums to IRC, Slack to Discord and Discord is dead last just because it’s so fucking annoying. Forums can be annoying too but they are far more usable/searchable than the stream of consciousness, ephemeral nature of chat.

Even if you’re a Discord user it’s still annoying as fuck.

You’re not as familiar with IRC as you think you are if you believe it doesn’t have (sometimes large) servers and it works in a peer-to-peer arrangement with each user contributing to the “power of the network”…
