@dallin@fosstodon.org "Share a link to your FaceTime call, so even friends with Android and Windows devices can join".
That phrasing (Tips app) totally rubs me the wrong way. "So even friends with Android and Windows devices", huh?

@cyberghost@fosstodon.org 😐

@urusan I wonder whether humanity is better off without the Internet. I get the impression it causes serious instability and more problems than it fixes. Perhaps, in an attempt to help humanity, I might (attempt to) remove the Internet, and only permit the old-fashioned voice-net and thus audio calls and 🐌 modem use.
But no I don't know if we'd be better off without the Internet actually, but if I became the ruler of Earth I'd start doing some research and radical thinking.

@allinone0@fosstodon.org I'm not sure enough Fediverse users would want it. Maybe PeerTube is sufficient idk

@allinone0@fosstodon.org Given the nature of TikTok, and the Fediverse, I feel like loading time would be a problem.

@retronav Sway is awesome.

@allinone0@fosstodon.org Hey I think that's a Dvorak typo :)

@servant Goooooodnight.

@joel Yeah, I've never seen the moreutils installed by default. I don't use most of them, but I like in particular sponge, ts, and vipe.

sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file [that's its description, but I'd like if it were called "buf" or something, because what it does is buffer stdin until EOF, then write it to stdout. I love it]
ts: timestamp standard input
vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe

@RL_Dane @joel Since this means you're typing directly into ts, only Backspace, Ctrl+W (delete 1 word), and Ctrl+U (delete whole line) can be used for editing I think. This adds an effect in the spirit of pen and paper, where your words are harder to correct and so mean more as they come out.

@RL_Dane @joel On my phone, I just do `ts >> myJournalsName`, via Termux. `ts` (a "moreutil") is a utility that timestamps stdin to stdout.

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org By ear! That's cool.
I'm sure you can tune it all the way, it just seems so tedious/long. Cool

T-Mobile hotspots (at least on this cell plan) throttle really hard really early 😠
Eh, better than no hotspot.

It was, like, going at 60KB/s before tho d:`,

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org You can do it ;D

@retronav Check this out: “An Ohio judge has ruled that a Cleveland State University’s virtual scan of a student’s room prior to an online test was unconstitutional. The ruling marks a victory for digital privacy advocates around the country, who have spoken loudly against the practices of online test proctoring for many years.” https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/23/23318067/cleveland-state-university-online-proctoring-decision-room-scan

Did some research, it looks like Google is/might/will use the Signal protocol and perhaps support E2EE group chats in the future, and open these up beyond their chat app(s?). 🤞🤞
