> what *does* discord offer people that it is so popular?
"Everyone does that, so why don't we?"
I think it's the status quo, when the question of organizing as a community arises, there's a person who can do it using Discord as he/her has already done that in the past. Discord isn't hard to use, most are more comfortable using chats nowadays than they are with forums, and it's still better than using something like Telegram 🤷

Wow! My Netgear had been flashable from its own web UI 🤷
@catto Well, it is slow-ish, it also acts as a seedbox and at times when some peer is using a lot of network (and likely disk) bandwidth I have to refresh a couple of times to see my notifications. But it's still okay for a single-user instance. For some reason PowerPC Macs were way better operating low on RAM. Even running several heavy applications in Mac OS X was bearable on 1 gig, equally specced Intel Mac is unpleasant to use 🤷
@catto The MacMini my Peloorma instance runs on originally had Transistor's Red figurine sitting on top of it (together with her portrait next to it), but one of my cats took a habit of jumping up there to "do cat things" — you know, pushing stuff off the cabinet, so I had to hide her 😅
@ThatCrazyDude They sure do, but, like I said, it might have to do with 1080p resolution — it's not high for a modern GPU (or APU in this case) and it might look very good on smaller screen, but if your intended use case is hooking it up to external display, it might not work that well.
Anyway, I don't have personal experience with these devices — it's just what my concern would be. Maybe they did do something truly groundbreaking and it won't be a problem 🤷
It looks very attractive otherwise.
@ThatCrazyDude Same problem as with ultra-compact laptops — they might look great spec-wise and they might give you this performance on shorter workload like processing a photo, but thermal design isn't always on par, so if it's high AND constant workload, their coolers just spin up to the maximum and never spin down, and despite even that CPU and GPU might get throttled in about 20 minutes.
@ThatCrazyDude These things are supposed to run at native resolution of their built-in display, they run hot as hell's potato at higher one. At least this is the actual photo I've seen online of the older model with upgraded SSD: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/108617566958603005
I don't know whether it's SSD which is to blame or if it's true at all, but it very well might be, considering its miniature size.
@furbyonsteroids And even if you don't wish to have a Fedi account to follow, every public user page has an rss-feed. At least on Prelooma and Masto, but I'm pretty sure, it's also true for other software.
@mushroom_soup Well, it just *lays* there 😸
So it kinda checks out.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
