It’s seamless and has pictures and emoji and history and all the stuff people complain about irc not having. That being said I also dont know anyone who uses delta chat. 😭 😝 2022-01-07T18:00:12Z (#xhx4t4a) Oh this thread is about ppl’s families. Good luck 😂 2022-01-07T18:19:03Z (#xhx4t4a) @ Fair.

Got ii in another panel absorbing whatever those goofballs are talking about. guys in minecraft channel sharing uptodate covid news. Basically what more do you need? even my new favorite game is console mode. 2022-04-12T23:02:08Z (#o3cxqba) I’ve seen this idea a lot over the last… decade and I don’t buy it. I’m not just a user, I also run a free ssb node for 10$ a month just because I want to. this is about the minimum thing you can do, I’m not being hammered or otherwise having to pay a lot. 

However. In my experience, paying for a service… i dunno. IMO the idea that user payment can circumvent the need for ads is wrong. ultimately they still show you ads. and on top of that IMO a paying user is a “mark”. If they pay they can be relied upon to pay more. and case in point everything I’ve ever paid for has ended up fucking me. in both cases (LOL) selling out to microsoft and ending up with “well we’ve invented new payment tiers so cough up your phone number and more money etc”. just my experience 🤷‍♂️ 2022-04-12T23:04:01Z (#o3cxqba) Even paying for netflix turns into “1 sub service per show” in my experience. Whereas popular network sites I use seem to be doing alright with a donations model 🤷‍♂️ 2022-04-12T23:10:26Z (#o3cxqba) I did sign up for the apple Private Relay beta for 1$ a month VPN when I realised I was on a TOTALLY UNSECURED public cafe wifi tho lol.

Like if their friends are on there, or maybe some porn, or a video game, or a cat video. Period. And most importantly if they think they’re going to get a long-term use out of it. For example if they think that’s where their friends are going to be.

I just tried something I made about 3 years ago with “white rajah IPA” and powder and i would rate it 11/10. I’m surprised at its power/flavor.
