This is a great ad to use proton!

On my pixel 9 the aurora store was absolute garbage, constantly saying apps are not compatible with my device. Had to change it to fake an S24 and even then I had this issue constantly.

I’m now just using Aptoide, its the only store I’ve found that has basically all apps and isn’t the play store.

We really need more people working on tech that both has great privacy but also simplicity. Currently you always have to pick between convenience or privacy. Everybody that keeps pushing self hosting doesn’t get that not everybody has the skills or time to set that up.

I work in IT, I do QA, I write test automation code, I setup CI/CD pipelines but the moment you put me on networking stuff I’m done, gg well played. It’s a whole new skillset so if I as someone who grew up and work in a technical job has a hard time with it don’t even think its going mainstream.

I’m not a technical person, can’t be bothered for that. In the end for tools like this its important non-tech people can also use it

I’ve never quit using teamspeak but I’d never see it as an alternative for the chatting functions of discord (neither private or server wide). Calling and screensharing on it is superior for sure, chatting is garbage.

I haven’t tried it yet but opening Element in browser it does have a call option

I just checked and indeed it does! Didn’t know that before, although I do think Revolt is more user friendly to non-tech people so will probably be a better choice for people to migrate to.

Teamspeak 6 released a month or so ago and has Peer2Peer screenshare, it works great!

Reminder that we have a european alternative called Revolt we can always switch to!

Another alternative is Element for chatting and Teamspeak for Calls/Screenshare!

But sadly in reality it means these projects will most likely go underfunded

They yearn for the simple times but their main memories from back then are the fun times like COD lobbies.

Ahh that was always fun after PE

Great inspiration

I was slightly concerned reading the title 😭

I’ve not found any that really work for me as of yet so want to piggy back off this post, if you find something please notify me!

The only benefit I got from it was being able to charge my car with a powerplug

I’ve moved from Belgium to the Netherlands (so the standard you show to the one with 2 grounding things at the top and bottom). Every single plug was compatible and usable without issue. The ONLY issue with the plugs here is that they can’t handle as high of a load as the Belgian ones. The best part about these are that you can plug it in both ways which is soooo convenient!

I’m using infomaniak. Bought my domain via them and got a free mailbox with it + simple site hosting (kualdir.eu for example).

Just looked myself up on whois and no info about me can be found as of yet.

The only “issue” you may encounter is while moving mail provider you may need to take a more expensive option than the non-custom domain ones. At least, that I know of ofc.

I personally just learned automatic (had a deadline for my work, less risk this way) and the only downside is people complaining that I don’t have a manual license. “What if” is something you’ll keep hearing from people. I tried manual and it’d require me to do quite a few extra lessons and do ANOTHER exam so I’m just not doing it.

Honestly if you can, do manual. If it stresses you out too much, do automatic. Cars will go towards automatic/electric anyways so in like 10 years it really won’t matter anymore.

Maar een tegenstander van een ban stelt: „Boycot liever alle nutteloze rommel die uit China komt.”

(Someone against a ban says: “Boycott all the useless stuff from China”)

Why not both?

First of all try accepting donations on your free software to get a bit of side income!

Secondly, look for companies that offer traineeships. I work in QA and basically any consultancy takes even non-IT people for their traineeship cause of the shortage we have.

Maybe something towards electrical engineering could interest you? Check for certificates/bachelors depending on how far you want to go.

As a sidenote, just try to get some sort of job even if not in IT. Being active in the job market makes you much more interesting to hire even if people tell you its not.
