I converted my old phone photos to JXL for this reason. It is malpractice that Android isn’t doing this by default for all users right now.

Neither the Matrix clients nor servers are lightweight—largely by design. All of the clients take literal minutes to start up if you don’t use it regularly & chew thru data. Even if they managed to hide how slow syncing is, it is just being hidden & taking just as many resources in the background. The whole decentralized eventual consistency + chat history is permanent is a model that makes it this way. At least IRC understood the chat was ephemeral & the protocol—even v3—isn’t bloated.

This is why I quit design for programming lol

This is more often 2FA & a password is still needed

LoL is addicting & sucks your soul out; Roblox does this while making child labor on their platform on how the games are built & monetized inside their platform. It is pretty gross.

I am happy Arcane is good tho. Knowing the characters makes it a more fun & engaging. They built some good art & lore.

When I left for Linux I had to give up League of Legends. I sucked it up, & after a month, I was fine without it & it was better since I knew it wouldn’t be worth the effort even trying to install it on Linux.

Monospace support for abugidas & abjads is pretty horrible

All this needs is the political compass overlaid & this is perfect TBH

Everyone I met has heard of Jitsi—guess I should feel blessed about my circle. But that doesn’t mean we should not let these places know there are opportunities to keep that voice data on-premise (which also indirectly helps the privacy of employees). I have chosen jobs for things like this though.

Similarly I learned to properly type (which means using your pinkies) with Dvorak back in 2007. I stuck with it since anything is a gain beyond QWERTY & _ on the home row helps with programming & config.

If you haven’t learned to touch type, you may as well use a layout that is gonna strain you less in the long run.
