So what do you use instead?

Gee, thanks for contributing to the conversation and providing a useful alternative. The only semi-popular better option I can think of is Matrix, but getting people on Signal is a…

Definitely. I think the growing TDP would be more concerning if AIO liquid coolers weren't so common these days. Setting up a water cooling loop used to be expensive and time consu…

That's a per-server controllable setting. The admins can set it such that only users with a verified email (and phone number if they desire) are able to send messages.

> Hacker News attracts a lot of smart readers Ahh, I see you're also trying your hand at sarcasm!

Google auctions the promise of showing ads to relevant users. Google would be eliminating themselves as a middle man service by selling the data they've curated.

I've seen many people append a version to the package name. So they could have done `protobuf.v2` (granted the original would be missing a version but still, at least this is more …

Shit, Firefox Developer 74.0b8 is even failing Acid2 for me

Just a note, Discord has two Nitro tiers (the table only mentions one) at $5/mo and $10/mo, or $50/yr and $100/yr.

CPU time is irrelevant for re-encoding due to bandwidth reasons though. If a client requests 64kbps voice, sending it packets at 128kbps and letting it re-encode once it has them i…
