  • Best I can do is a 10:53 video for half a paragraph of information BROUGHT YOU BY DELETEMYSELF. I USED TO BE ON THE INTERNET BUT THANKS TO TODAYS SPONSOR DELETMYSELF I NO LONGER EXIST AT ALL IN ANY FORM.

    Edit: almost forgot TO REMIND YOU TO SMICKITY SMACK THAT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE AND DONT FORGET TO HIT THAT BELL ICON!

    Spoiler

    I’d also like to apologise for that last video, I didn’t realise she was underage. Pulls out ukulele I will now sing my apology.






  • I’ve been single for 3 years and haven’t had a date in 2 years. Not for a lack of trying but I’m in a fairly remote area, most singles nearby aren’t my type (putting it very politely) and last but not least; dating apps absolutely promote ’Tinder culture’.

    Dating apps will recommend me supermodel gold diggers 120km’s away before someone close with something in common. And then the chances of matching are low to none.

    At least this Fate app seems to be trying something different and (seemingly) positive. I’d give it a go, can’t be any worse than what I’m using already.










  • Spacebar sounded really promising when I checked them out years ago.

    The big Discord.com features currently left unimplemented or with partial implementations are: Voice/Video support (WebRTC protocol support implemented, but lacking UDP protocol implementation)

    Unfortunately, seems like it’s still not at a point where it could cover basic Discord functionality.

    Edit: I should be clear, I’m not trying to discourage it. I really hope it succeeds to the goal of parity with Discord! Love to hear from someone who has used it a bit.


  • I looked into Stoat around the time of their name change announcement.

    On the one hand it looks good and is definitely the closest Discord clone at the moment. I was disappointed about a couple of things though:

    • They have a self hosted server option but it doesn’t have the full feature suite and seems like they’ve decided that it won’t in the foreseeable future.

    • They’re aware of federation and have no plans to head down that path for the software.

    Bit of a shame because if I could self host the full software that’d be pretty damn good as a replacement for all of my friends. If it could be federated in a way where servers could work in tandem that’d be a great distributed alternative to Discord for the entire community! I understand why they’re not pursuing those avenues but it’s still a shame.


  • gadget that lasts a few years before you have to toss them and replace them.

    On one hand; yes they are disposable tech. On the other hand I have 2 sets of AirPods that are about 6 years old that I still use regularly.

    I bought a brand new set and it’s amazing how much better the new ones are but I still use one set of my old ones at work and another set at home when I don’t want to risk the new ones. I can’t justify throwing out the old sets when they still work well.
