They should really think about linking all of those together in some way, feel like it might be easier with only one driver and then it’s be a bit more efficient too

A good manager can really reset you if you’ve built that trust in ways they can’t even fathom.

I completely feel this. I had one that just said “I think you’re funny, you’re very sarcastic and it’s funny, but no one else here understands it and so they think you’re an asshole”. Also flipped me around, that while I thought I was constantly joking that these people are not my friend group and did not understand my very dry delivery.

Taught me to test the waters a bit before going full sarcasm, and people like me a lot more thanks to that

These were always sweet, especially having friends in the military and being there for a couple.

Then influencers caught on and started taking them. I swear to God I’ve seen AI ones now. Absolutely ruined the heartfelt videos.

Yup I’m seeing it, and then people wonder why there were so many rules on reddit banning posting until you had so much karma. Because bad actors spoil it for everyone.

The data they had even proved it was useless to us. Something like 50% of the content came from the 10% on third party apps. They just couldn’t deal with only 90% of their users being served ads constantly though and had to kill off the third party apps.

From what I hear content got noticeably worse. Good

Okay that makes so much sense, because I knew I had calling before in Element but they wanted me to set up all this extra stuff. Is it still a thing to do the plugin?

Wait there’s a jitsi plugin?

Exactly, there’s a saying that when you’re in a field you assume everyone else must know about your field too, and people just don’t. Not just the grandma’s either, but everyday people: friends, family, coworkers, people just want their tech to work. They need to know that they’ll be able to “use office” even if it’s a different program and “check their email” even if it means installing chrome at first.

Element on Matrix is the only one I’m aware of - but it’s not the easiest to set up. I would try creating an account on matrix.org’s server just temporarily to try it out and see if it fits what you’re looking for. I like the decentralized nature of it, but the support is very piecemeal, and onboarding people essentially needs a class.

Agree there, pushing that everyone is using it. I have found with family that using phrasing like “It’s similar to ChromeOS”, which… it isn’t really - but it helps their brains adjust. Like “Okay it’ll be different, but yeah I used ChromeOS and it was fine”

This is a good callout. I’m not sure how much of the video will be “There are alternatives available” vs “Try linux!”, but if we get into Try linux directly I want people to know that yes it works completely

I think it’s more just how I discovered him, the YT algo pushed him to me for quite a while which made me really skeptical of him. His content is decent like you said, but I’m always wary of people the algo pushes.

I’m always on the fenc with Drew Gooden, but this is a good one

Love it, that sort of mission statement is exactly what I’m looking for!

Done and done! Found a couple articles about that!

Great idea! I have a local place that does that near me!

What’s sad is I’m doing moderately okay I would say on the coast - and I know I am far out of reach of getting any of those tax cuts. They have no idea how much they’re getting duped to think that they’re even remotely close to getting anything.

I heard good jobs are too woke

As an aside, I have that coffee maker and love it! See if there’s a local coffee shop, here in my city it was stocked and they even let me try a cup from there

Oh as an aside, the coffee comes out SUPER weak at the beginning, where I thought it was broken. Give it 20-30 shots/cups and it’ll start tasting more normal. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and love it

Honestly they all suck
