- Comment on Never send a text message when drunk 2 weeks ago:
Skeptical that he could write without a single typo, using apostrophes and all but forgot he is married. Not how being drunk works in my experience.

Thank you, I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 2 weeks ago:
I’m in the same shoes about new job having to use teams and I wildly disagree. It is awful.
The best part of it is the noise cancellation on the microphone in calls seem pretty good and having a chat created for meetings is a good integration. BUT…
- voice quality significantly decreases as soon as it’s more than 2 participants… you can clearly tell the difference as soon as a 3rd member is invited.
- annotating on the screen share is extremely useful in slack (not sure if zoom has it too), not a thing I could find in teams
- the channels Vs chats separation in the UI is just weird
- the chats don’t have threads… that’s such a strong feature to contain conversations. I know the channels kinda serve this purpose but it feels weird to use them and closer to sending an email or posting on a forum than directly talking to someone (with having to write a title and bring presented in 1-2 messages per screen due to the size
Compared to zoom, I guess it’s not a big deal really. I’d prefer zoom but it’s oh well. Compared to slack (which has it’s own set of problems, but still) however it seems like a pile of shit in my opinion.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 weeks ago:
Plex runs relay servers where your Plex server will connect to the relay and your player will also connect to the relay, making both ends of the connection egress type as far as routing and access control goes. …plex.tv/…/216766168-accessing-a-server-through-r…
It’s optional and likely not everyone uses it, but this provides a way for Plex to do remote streaming without the Plex server being reachable directly from the internet.
Separately, it costs money for Plex to run.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim 5 months ago:
Yes, chrome certainly had other merits too. Neither of us can say with certainty why it succeeded. Personally, I don’t think a crap browser pushed by Google would have but also an amazing browser pushed by an unknown independent developer would have either.
Certainly agree with your 2nd point though.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim 5 months ago:
It’s true, although chrome has gotten a significant boost from Google promoting it in search and every Google app (which I don’t know if they still do).
So chrome beats edge on users, but it’s also likely largely because of the unfair advantage it receives/received from that promotion. Those options are not really available to other browser developers (unless Amazon or meta also decided they want a browser for some reason).
- Comment on I know what I got. No low balls 5 months ago:
Oh you’re right! It looks uh… different than what I’d expect melted cheese to be so I thought it was the bread being discoloured from sauce.
- Comment on I know what I got. No low balls 5 months ago:
Top it with some grated/melted cheese and it’s good to go.
- Comment on Mozilla grants Ente $100k 6 months ago:
In their defense, they also clearly label immich as under active development with frequent changes and bugs.
