But that’s not decentralized. It’s the same as discord, only instead of a corporation now you have a server admin.

I completely support you moving off of Discord, and I completely support you setting up Matrix. I tried a lot, I think it has the most feature parity. That being said, the biggest thing I regret when setting it up is that I went with Synapse for my backend Matrix server, when there are others.

I’ve heard very good things about Conduit (https://conduit.rs/), mostly that it’s easier to stand up and easier to maintain.

Either way, I think it’s a smart move, and it’s worth the investment. It’s not the easiest to stand up, but operationally our communication should be our own. Expect trial and error, getting one piece up and running, then the next, and then the next. Celebrate small wins like “Today I got it running” and then “Today I got federation working”, and then “Now I have voice working!”. Otherwise it’s going to feel overwhelming.

I believe in the cause, so feel free to DM me if you have any questions, or send me a DM on Matrix :)

Oh, and a very useful tool - https://federationtester.matrix.org/

This will tell you exactly what is wrong with your federation.

Which is stupid by itself. It should be assumed that a TV can be burned in, with the option to disable it if they don’t like it or don’t care.

Yeah when the company is looking to cut as much cost as possible, if it’s not an indefinite strike then you’re just telling them ahead of time that they should probably just let you all go

At this point a year is generous

That is phenomenal. Just absolutely stunning. The sheer stupidity of how they did that as astounding.

While boomer CEO criticizes they also pushed for this level of surveillance at the same time

I’ll say I have a family member who does what you’re saying, and they waste honestly just a ton of food. Like “I tried this new recipe, it made enough for 10 meals but I didn’t like it so I threw it out”. Not that it turned out bad, but they didn’t like it. Now, I’m all for never making it again because you didn’t like it, but wasting that much food is just gross to me.

That’s too bad, that’s a hard line for me, it has to have the option of federation.

Also, so it’s a direct server, so it is centralized, there’s nothing decentralized about it

Decentralized (no abuse of power and doesn’t have a single point of failure)

There is a direct server though, is it federated? The readme doesn’t say it’s federated at all

I’m sure the community will rally together to save their community against the invaders.

Oh, you mean helping each other and being empathetic are liberal traits, and they only value looking after themselves even when their community depends on cooperation? Well, I’m sure they can each farm their own food.

I understood that reference!

I’ve heard positive things about Dito, if I was doing it over again I think I’d start there

This post says a lot about how users interact with the web now. 15-20 years ago the question would have been “how do I change the feed ordering”. Now it’s “this sucks, it’s so bad”.

Welcome to what we used to have in the old internet friend, you have choice again. You can choose how you want to experience Lemmy, there is no one way being dictated to you.

It was so creepy! Completely lost the plot, and the whole purpose of the movie too, so hated it for many reasons.

Can confirm, I host Matrix (homeserver synapse) and Element. Voice is a pain to get set up but I hear there are other matrix services which will do this for you easier. It’s a process though. You can get text chat up in a day, voice is going to be a bit after that, a lot of tinkering.

nah don’t regret, we’re all good, I should have been less flippant too.

After all of this, I am going to watch it. As a rule anything that’s minimized or shamed or generally “they” don’t want me to watch usually means I should go watch it. Although, as someone who is fully aware of what is happening right now, opening me up to that much anxiety makes me worry too, and I won’t lie after having several family dinners like that clip, I’m nervous… but I’ll trust you.

While I admit my first comment was a bit flippant, I was annoyed at the commenter’s… I’ll say it… conceited remarks. That they don’t need such paltry details see a film, that a mere wisp of a note of intrigue is enough, and that I, a lowly commoner, am wrong for even thinking such things as plot, or setting, or characters.

Honestly your comment below: “In this gripping thriller…”, is what I think the post needed to show what the movie was about. Posting the clip is probably very meaningful if you’ve seen the movie, but for me who is deciding if I should see it, I have no context of what it is about. I shouldn’t have been flippant in my comment, my intention was more “if people are scrolling through and see this for a split second, we won’t know what the movie is about”, slightly encouraging OP to add some context - but it was the wrong way to do that.

Sorry, yeah I must be just downright nuts looking for the underlying story, the background, or literally anything about what might be happening. Usually I do watch films for vague ideas and concepts, I don’t know what I was doing asking about a well-crafted story which conveys those ideas and concepts.

I got that, is that the plot? What’s the plot? You know, the overarching story. Moms mad, daughter is pregnant, it’s a tense scene but I have no idea what the movie is about.

From both the video and your description I have absolutely no idea what this movie is about
