Plastic gotta be this age's lead/quicksilver.

Jup, lots of people are talking 64-bit architecture and RAM optimization, whereas the number in question most likely is related to IPv4 packets, which were made for (and to my knowledge still use) octets/8-bit blocks.

I've got a pebble in my boot. :(

Efficiency does little for your wallet and the environment if you need to buy/produce a new machine every few years.

(Not to say that we shouldn't strive for efficiency.)

Not much different in Europe either.

Well, except for that one(?) time where a comedian registered a party to take a jab at politics and "accidentally" got voted in. Hehe.

I'm afraid to say that I too have been corrupted by VSCode.

It's widely used, easy to get into, has LOTS of extensions, and works mostly the same across OS'es meaning it's easy to setup by and explain to others.

The two extensions I'm missing most in other IDE/text editors would be the "Remote - SSH" extension by Microsoft, which gives unparalleled integration when working remote, and PlatformIO which, while it can be used independently in its core form, just works way better in VSCode.

Besides this, I'll use Nano for small tasks and vi on embedded devices where Nano is unavailable, though, I'll need a vi cheatsheet for anything more advanced than basic editing.

It's still in beta and audio appears to not always work when streaming. Though, there's recent activity on the related issues, so hopefully it gets out of beta before Discord alienates the regular user.

I tested it a few days ago and besides the audio problem it appears to work very well.

That's weird. I just tested it with a friend (I'm on Endeavour, she's on Win11, the server is VPS with Debian running the newest Synapse and Element-web). Audio works fine both ways with no mic config required, streaming is a little laggy when viewing the screen and stream next to each other, but that's all.

EDIT: No, you're right. Audio within streams seem to fail. I remember Discord having the same problem (hence why I use Vesktop), but if Windows also suffers this shortcoming? I'm pretty sure I remember it working a month ago, so there should be a bug report in Synapse (or element).

Element has audio issues on Linux? Didn't notice it when I tested whether Matrix had what I needed (a month past). I'll see if it screws up if I try again now.

Element already has desktop streaming as an experimental feature. Worked fine last i tested it. Currently planning how to trick my social circle into using it.

I also want to go check out the new TeamSpeak, it's supposed to be a decent Discord alternative - Even though Discord originally replaced it.

Go tell 'em! Why have alternatives if we can just put all our eggs in one, holey, basket?

Well, almost (49/51%).

Needless to say, the steam deck has definitely found its place playing Monster Hunter, Graveyard Keeper, and sometimes even Guild Wars 2 and factorio.

It does run Deep Rock Galactic and Vermintide 2 too, but I feel those are better played on the rig.
