It wasn’t one specific thing. We were switching from Facebook Messenger, and found ourselves not wanting to use it all that much, often falling back to Messenger. For me, personally, I also didn’t like that it didn’t have a web client.

Yea, we tried Signal a while back, but for whatever reason we didn’t care for it.

Thanks for the info. My wife and I tried Signal a while back and didn’t care for it.

I’m trying to get xmpp going today, even just as a test. 🤞

I guess it doesn’t have to be, but I really like the idea of having control over the data, and not handing it over to some other entity, even if they say they’re not evil. It just seems like communication without a 3rd party in between is a good idea, so I’m trying to make that work for now.

I believe Nextcloud Talk uses FCM for notifications. The issue doesn’t seem to be on the FCM side, it’s the client marking messages as read incorrectly, or not notifying because it thinks it’s running in the foreground, etc. They’re definitely working on these issues, but my family has lost confidence in it.

I will check out Snikket, thanks!

Oof, I never made it past the first 2 episodes. Maybe I should give the third a try, but damn, they were trying so hard to be… I don’t know, edgy? Crude? It just seemed to be made for a different audience, which is fine, it just wasn’t for me. But I liked Academy, so what do I know…

Got Absolum. Not the biggest discount, but I played the demo some time back and it kept lingering in my mind. Really looking forward to play co-op with my wife.

Here’s me being the first to tell you that AIO works great for me. Installation was super easy on Linux, and not so bad on synology. Updating the containers is only 2 buttons, so that’s easy as well.

It just chooses not to.

What about this is funny?

Gameplay trailer? … They must really not have any confidence in the gameplay, because that was 95% cut sequences.

“Has anyone seen my glasses?”

I kind of remember that being an issue way back when the Steam Deck launched. Ever since I always launch games after docking. Bummer to hear it’s still an issue.

“An AI consultant tells Axios one of their clients recently spent half a billion dollars in a single month after failing to…”

Hires consultant.

Implementation sucks.

Consultant: you are bad at this.

No shit, that’s why we hired you!

😂

Are you kidding? They’re now the poster child for why AI companies are more than smoke. Expect an investment from Nvidia and anthropic to continue the self-flation.

Age of Wonders 4. I’m so glad I finally pulled the trigger on this during the recent sale. It’s so much fun.

Remember, AI means no more QA needed!

The PS4. My wife and I played a lot of PS3, so we were excited for the 4, but it just didn’t hit right. We ended up barely using it. At some point we let someone borrow it and never asked for it back.

I don’t even remember what we didn’t like, except that we were both pumped for the latest sack boy game, which ended up not anywhere near as fun as the first one.
