the misogynistic myth that women only care about money and/or fame

Genuiney disheartening that this shit is re-surfacing again. I remember this sentiment going about around a decade ago, and then subsiding. Now it’s resurfacing. Every generation loves to repeat the mistakes of it’s past

Thanks for the recommend, I’m taking my time going through all the suggestions here, and have been listening to this song for the past week - and wow this one is great, It made me tear up at times and I love the lyrics

I second the suggestion of an A-series Samsung. My brother has an A24, which is pretty great. It’s doesn’t have the same performance as a S-series, but it’s a great device at its price, and more durable and better battery life than the S-series imo.

Wow, the song was an experience. Chills.

Thank you!

That was a great song, damn. Thanks a lot. It’s so simple yet deep. It’s gonna stick around in my head for a while

Ooooh yes it does. I enjoyed the song a lot, thank you! I think I’m going to binge Pamplemousse entirely, their work seems like it’d jive with me

I loved your suggestions, thanks a lot

Little Talks was cute, it reminds me of Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches but with more energy

George Thorogood’s song is not the kind of music I usually listen to, but damn is he engaging and jivey

I think Alice’s Restaurant is my fav from your suggestions, but lol it’s almost an audiobook with it’s length

Love songs seem to be the most common in this style - I also have a large number of such songs in my library. I prolly should’ve asked for non-love songs specifically tbh, but the current suggestions are pretty great so can’t complain.

It’s simply a more honest model - you get content, they get money.

I would love to be able to pay for an ad-free experience for the various websites and services that I browse and use in a straightforward way instead of being leeched for ad-revenue

It Takes Two has a great protagonist

Hmm, that actually sounds manageable, as I don’t plan on storing the files on server for a long time. Only issue is the notifications part I think, not sure how to configure that . I’ll check it out

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, I plan for this to be a LAN thing only, we’re all currently living in the same house, and only need it when we’re working indoors here, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

I’m currently setting up nextcloud, as it’s file transfer is impeccable, and it has a somewhat-functional chat feature. I have been having a little problem setting up the domain name + certificate - I would love to configure this to an internal IP but it seems that’s not allowed for some reason - nextcloud documentation is suggesting a reverse proxy for setting up a local instance which seems like … double the work? I’ll try that if nothing else works out, and I’m gonna try it with a self-signed certificate for now, if that fails I’m not sure

Seems to fit all my needs, the talk app looks a little dull, but I think it will be pretty functional for our needs

I also found Mattermost and Rocketchat while looking up nextcloud, and they seem promising too. Any idea about them?

Got it, thanks!

Ahhh

I use Syncthing already for a lot of my stuff, but it doesn’t fit the bill right now. I’ve been reading about Matrix while looking around for this, do you have any experience with it?

Oooh this looks interesting, what a nice project!

I’ll check it out, but it seems the local part is more of a backup than a primary feature, so not sure if it’ll work for me

XMPP sounds great, but I heard it has difficulty with file transfer. How was your experience with it?

Mostly it’s because we’re using Telegram for our workflow and everyone is pretty used to it by now (including our parents, who’re slow to adapt).

We’re gonna be sharing videos, photos, and files on an hourly basis, and not every person is invovled with the every other person’s workflow. If it could ideally be a messenger, we would have conversations regarding these files, and the chat history+notifications on new file upload would be pretty nice.

I just downloaded Tightrope Theatre - and it is pretty awesome rn. A classic platformer challenge, it has a hundred levels and is enjoyable

Genuinely don’t understand how reddit has failed to make money.

Reddit’s entire value is based upon the unpaid contributions of its users- they generate and moderate all the content on the site for free, and these are the things that bring people to the site.

How entitled must one be to think they can ignore all this and be fine?

Also how tf is reddit not able to break bank?

The functionality of their website was relatively simple - not underming the reddit devs here. The costs must’ve been minimal before the redesign and the dumb ass decision to host their own images and videos. Did they burn up all their money for the redesign and the shitty app?

For good reason. Out of all the messenger apps I’ve tried - open source, decentralised, or stuff like whatsapp - Telegram is THE best one imo. Fast as hell, great UI/UX, lots of customisation, nice features, and good bot support.

I know some people dislike Telegram here, but among centralised apps their philosophy and track record is pretty decent imo
