Because it’s the same kind of tired “I knew it all along” comment that’s under every depressing post like this - a comment that simultaneously undervalues both deep analysis and scientific rigor in service of a cheap, emotional moment of superiority over those who “haven’t figured it out yet”.

In school I had a physics teacher who thought it was a good idea one day to use whiteboard markers on the glass windows instead of the whiteboard. I didn’t learn anything that lesson.

Kind of disagree. The design is actually really simple and cleverly looks like just a fin when small enough

Social skills, as the name implies, are meant to be trained, maintained, and expanded over a lifetime so don’t discount yourself because you feel like you’re too old or have tried and failed for too long. Have you considered seeking behavioral therapy? Perhaps you’re not picking up on the myriad non-verbal social cues that could help you better inform your conversations. Behavioral therapy can help identify where you’re lacking and give you the opportunity to practice skills and receive feedback from a professional.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

You don’t need to give explicit details of your coworkers’ lives, but from your writing it really seemed to me that you were more interested in mechanically optimizing conversation. This isn’t necessarily a bad perspective, but people already do that organically by understanding each other more and learning their history. The route of good conversation follows logically from there through empathy.

You’re descriptions kind of make your coworkers like NPCs. If you want to have better conversations you should probably get to know them better as people. That can allow you to understand the why of their particulars and eventually guide your conversations more organically.

It’s a double edged sword. Everybody’s got a different line for when something descriptive inadvertently becomes prescriptive

What does “let him try and find the hard drive” really mean? Does he just want access to the landfill or is he expecting some kind of cooperation with the workers? How disruptive is he going to be?

Use an Instagram-specific site container to isolate your activity from your normal browsing. Imo this is really the only thing that matters that doesn’t have to do with your self control. You want to make sure Meta gets nothing from cross-site tracking and containerizing IG should do that. Also, don’t visit links to and from IG. Look it up manually through IG search.

Claim to have, sure. But actually have, probably few, at least until that have to start dealing with the condition.

Nextcloud also has this

Adam is someone I can really identify with because he eats ass like me.

I believe it also closes vents

He kind of looks like a discount Tobuscus, which would probably be better than regular Tobuscus

Glad they’re finally starting to combine services for fewer docker containers

These comments are quite devoid of meme energy

Holy smokes, it was so bad for me I switched to AMD a week later

Notably missing from the comparison list is any mention of video or screen sharing, or anything to do specifically with games. These are Discord’s unique strengths at the moment and they have been for a long time. With that in mind, Matrix is a “good alternative” to Discord in the sense that most other desktop VoIP or chat apps are since Discord users aren’t using it for the privacy and openness aspects and want the Discord specific features and ease of use.

Don’t get me wrong, I wish I could fully replace Discord with the Matrix instance I currently self-host, but there are things Discord just does better than every other app including having a bunch of features that range from meh to pretty good all in one package.
