Have you tried conduit? I am joined to rooms with several thousand users each, and I'm not really suffering any slowdowns except during initial sync. Conduit seems to be running happily at half a gig of RAM, and CPU usage is minimal

I am surprised so few people are mentioned conduit here. Last I checked, it was running at only 500 MB of RAM. I don't have any app services installed though, and I'm the only user on my instance.

Funny, I do remember thinking yesterday that having teams installed by default is basically Internet explorer all over again. On the other hand, from what I've seen I don't think most companies really care and that they would install teams anyway. The integration with the rest of Microsoft is really convenient from a business perspective. My work uses it, and teams is scary efficient at scheduling meetings. Far better than zoom.

I picked up Portal 2 during a $2 sale of it. Still one of the best games I've ever played. And it has multiplayer, so it's infinitely replayable

You won't have a choice if it's a bank or your job. This is the truly insidious thing, if enough important websites start demanding the standard, you might just end up forcing yourself off of the internet with that attitude

I can't comment to that specific place, but buses have the advantage that they are easy to redeploy along different routes if necessary. Accomplishing the same feat with the train is extraordinarily difficult. Trains make sense along heavily populated corridors with a pre-existing need for the business.

Yes. Matrix uses an integrated jitsi widget for voice and video. It is unfortunately not quite as polished as discord for voice and video, but it does work.

It integrates with jitsi, which is a fairly good tried and proven solution. Meanwhile, The matrix developers are working on their own implementation of voice and video that plays a bit nicer with their room permission system. For one to one conversations, there is a turn-based solution for voice and video.

First, it's federated, meaning that different instances of discord can talk to each other, much like Lemmy.

Second, it allows for encryption. Matrix uses the same double ratchet algorithm present in signal.

Third, joining groups is optional. This is perhaps the biggest user interface difference between discord and matrix. Each conversation exists in a independent channel, or room as they are called. Rooms can be grouped together the way you would see in discord, but they usually exist independently of the groupings. Incidentally, matrix groups are called spaces. There are edge cases where rooms are not independent from spaces, but by and large it is not something most users will have to worry about.

I actually find it nice compared to discord. It's simple. If you need more complex moderation in matrix, there are bots you can use

The units are owned by a for-profit corporation, but they seem serious enough in their mission. And $1,500 for a one-bedroom is a bargain where I come from. I'm paying $1,750 just for a studio with less square footage

Even as somebody who has never used, and will likely never need Apollo, I am really grateful for what he did. However unintentionally, I think he ripped the mask off how rotten the management structure was. It's one thing to sell ads and collect hidden metadata. Pretty much all the apps do it. But the whole way Reddit treated him was beyond despicable.

Didn't the Apollo developer say that he was planning on porting his app to the fediverse?
