  • I’ve never used Vent nor Teamspeak, either. I just don’t get why Reddit’s/Lemmy’s excellent threading can’t be followed more closely. I understand that IMs fire rapidly and can bury threads up above, but the current format is just too unwieldy for mass discussion.

    Actually, it’s the lack of E2E that I dislike the most. There doesn’t seem to be any easy way to solve real-time child comments, but at least Matrix is E2E. Revolt, while not E2E (and lacking video-streaming), can at least be self-hosted as well. Where Discord excels insanely is in its live screen-sharing; nothing comes close except maybe Google Meet and Zoom.





  • Have you just never driven interstate or cross-country? I once had to cover 2k miles in 4 days. At 8 hours of driving/day, your restriction would have made it take a week, so you should then pay for my back pain from the truck, the cost of those extra nights, etc.

    65 or 70 MPH is a much more reasonable cap. That I could totally get behind!






  • Did you know that Monopoly was originally invented by a woman whose point was how horrible monopolies are? It originally had a co-op mode that could topple monopolies through unions and co-ops.

    Her game was bought by a jerk who removed the co-op mode and then claimed Monopoly as his own game. She died penniless.

    If the capitalist system incentivizes me to outcompete others and hoard my wealth and, conversely, punishes me for my altruism; then, I am forced to play by the rules of such a system.

    So change it… or be a pebble in the mountain of change.
