I hate the labelling of Telegram (and also, to be fair here, WhatsApp) as social media platforms.

That's like saying email is a social media platform because mailing lists exist.

The "anti-woke" (or whatever they call themselves) hate is absolutely ridiculous, and anyone who takes it seriously is an idiot.

That being said though... The show was just bad. Nonsensical or missing character motivations, a thin excuse for a plot, and a huge disappointment compared to what it could have been.

I really hope the reactionary hatred didn't factor into the cancellation, or at the very least that Disney doesn't take away from this that they should hire fewer women and people of color. I hope they take away to invest more into better writing.

Yep, same here.

Samsung TV cannot reach the internet. Nvidia Shield is running Flauncher as the default launcher. I watch all my content through Jellyfin and SmarttubeNext.

I have not seen an ad in years.

I just discovered his channel last week and have consumed far too much of his content already, haha. I've been using Musescore forever, so those videos where extremely interesting as well.

So, +1 for Tantacrul

Yeah this is severely lacking in terms of theoretical compsci.

I know it's been three weeks, but thanks for telling me about this! I might actually do this, for the projects here and there which aren't packaged into nixpkgs (yet).

Thanks for the suggestion, I must say though, I am very happily de-googled :D

Thanks for the recommendation! Looks like a great option. Actually, the p2p aspect prompted me to have another look at the Jitsi docs, and lo and behold, there's an option for that, as long as no more than 2 people participate in a chat.... (The reason I'd prefer Jitsi is actually just that NixOS comes with options for jitsi out of the box, for Miro I would have to introduce containers into my setup :D)

Yeah, I think it's overkill, plus needing an account will likely lead to issues (login difficulties, forgotten password,...) compared to "just click this link". But thanks for the recommendation anyways, I did not know NC comes with video chat!

Thanks for the experience report! Would you say that you're happy with the video and audio quality and latency?

Yeah, I am havong mixed feelings about this. But at least during Covid, it was apparently the norm, so it must work, somehow...

I could find a teacher closer to me, but for one thing, I only have a boke available, and biking ~10km with the cello on my back is not something I look forward to doing on a regular basis. The other thing is that I consider this teacher a friend, she's given me lessonsfor more than a decade in the past, and I know we vibe well together.

Yeah, those are all fair points. We've been using Jitsi for work with pretty much no problems, albeit in group calls where video and audio quality don't matter too much. Someone below gave some good recommendations for hardware as well.

The helpdesk issue.... IDK. If Jitsi works, it is incredibly easy to use, right? Basically just, click this link and you're in. (If does some heavy lifting there, I know :D)
