Is it a requirement that you use an Element-based client?

by ripdog 4y ago
matrix.org has a listing of clients. There are plenty if you only need basic features, but Element is the only feature-mostly-complete client.

I inherently distrust anything with crypto bullshit built in.

Possibly, but that just makes me more interested in simply ignoring her wishes.

Yes, it's likely that I am more challenged by the grammatically incorrect pronouns than most neurotypicals in this thread, thanks for pointing that out. A lot of people who like to cry 'transphobic!' may wish to understand th

I'm sorry to hear about that. Sounds difficult.

Thanks for the correction, you're quite correct.

She's actively making the language less comprehensible by breaking the rules. Multiple times in this thread, people have said "it" and I've been confused as to what - or who - they're referring to. I'm not a la

Makes sense, but we aren't speaking German here.

I totally understand wanting to be respectful, but respect goes both ways. She needs to respect the fact that her odd pronouns are literally breaking the English language for people who want to use them.

I find it particularly amusing that you used the wrong pronoun while scolding me to use the correct pronouns for her. If that doesn't prove the impracticality of using "it" as a pronoun, I don't know what does. It breaks

Perhaps this is just my autism speaking, but am I the only one who gets completely freaked out by sentences like the above? "It" refers to inanimate objects, things which can't have free will, do crimes, or be prosecuted. It&

What? "It" identifies as an inanimate object? This neopronoun thing really is getting absurd.

I'm really sorry for dogpiling on your setup here, but why keep wav files rather than flac? Flac files are lossless compression, so you can always get the exact same wav out of them, they take less disk space and they can hold Metadata

I don't know whether the model is being updated, but I do know that repeating the same query will change the seed and you'll get a completely different answer. E.g. you might go from a lengthy yes to a short no. Chatgpt is extreme

Nice name collision with Taiga, the anime tracking client for Anilist and other sites.

Is it really better to create a world where said content cannot exist due to disabled people?

Why does Apple need to provide the plan as well? I mean, given Apple's controlling nature, they may well wish to - but most laptops with mobile internet simply provide a SIM slot hooked up to a standard mobile baseband. Customers find

How goes the progress on scaling your infrastructure? I signed up ages ago and haven't heard back.

> And that is with me living in ‘socialist’ Europe. I can only dream of how many options people in ‘free market’ USA must have. I can feel the sarcasm dripping from this sentence.

IDK about simplyinfinity, but here in NZ, the last mile of internet infrastructure (the fibre from homes to the exchange) is owned by regulated companies which must lease access to them at set rates or lower, and mustn't act as ISPs. A

Banks often have awful security systems. Kiwibank in NZ has a "two-factor security" system. All it is is a security questions thing where you click on screen to fill in 3 letters of the hidden answer. The on-screen keyboard makes

In corporate hellscapes like the USA, there is often no choice in ISPs, either because other ISPs can't justify the infrastructure investment to set up in opposition to the incumbent, or because the incumbent has lobbied local governme

Excuse me, your links are indeed fine when loaded from a video player. That's odd, I don't recall akamai refusing to serve the hls manifest to browsers before. I wonder why they started doing that...

by ripdog 4y ago
Since those links are either dead or geolocked, note that you can play the official youtube stream in mpv/mpc directly ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JncMoFTn9xc ), or pass it through livestreamer to play in any local

Curious as to what the advantages of this are over mpv?

Interesting you'd say that in a thread about ISPs, considering we have regulation-enforced separation between the owners of our government-funded nation-wide FTTH network and the actual service providers. This means I have over a dozen

The hosting of an unlimited number of videos of (almost) unlimited length at up to 8k resolution for an indefinite length of time is worth nothing to you? I'm incredibly grateful that there is such a vast video archive on the internet
