If you're still using Google for searching, you're doing it wrong.

There are now search engines that give you better results, with lesser(/no!) ads, in a clean interface, and are more cognizant of your #privacy.

Tried out the #zellij terminal multiplexer. Had a problem/question. Seems the community is only on #discord. After unsuccessfully looking for alternative forums gave up and registered a discord account. Verified mail. Verified mobile number. Captcha'd half dozen of times. Tried joining the zellij discord. Flicker. Website goes in reload loop. Account is now disabled because "We've found your account to be in violation of our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines." Fuck you, #discord!

And pretty please, free software projects, don't have your community in proprietary walled gardens like #discord or #slack you have no control over. You're doing your users a disservice. Use #irc or #matrix or whatever. There are enough free alternatives.

Thanks for listening.

@dazinism @mathiasx @cstanhope @requiem I grew up on an international community and spent 15 years of my early life there. and I have spent time at a ton of different communities in the US. I think the idea of "failure" is almost always misguided. Everything has a certain entropy and if we dont take that natural entropy into account when we are designing systems those systems will be naturally decay. The concept of the TAZ here I think is actually really important to consider early on.
