my current personal laptop is from 2014 come on man i hate consumerism so much
to be fair my 12 year old laptop only works because it does not run windows.

i wonder if anyone has written malware for templeos

critical microslop 365 business outage
no one can send or receive emails right now

MAIL SERVERS THAT DO NOT WORK: every single mail server owned by microslop (proprietary software)
MAIL SERVERS THAT DO WORK: mine. the one built by a moron who can barely adhere to RFC5321 (ms mail servers are not compliant with RFC5321). (free software hosted on a random vps)

>someone emails me an ics calendar invite
>get the email in outlook classic, open the attachment so that i can save the appointment to my calendar
>instead of opening up in outlook classic, the program that i am using right now, it tries to open "modern" (webapp) outlook.
i think MS devs and leadership should be put to a tribunal and dumped in a mass grave afterwards.

it should be illegal to change the terms of a contract without bilateral consent
thats kind of the point of a contract in the first place.

teampeak has finally, after years upon years of development, released the server software for teamspeak6
one of the first things i noticed was that there is an absolute max cap of 32 users per server and for that reason alone this is completely dead on arrival. I can understand having max cap for hosted servers to control bandwidth but to enforce max cap on a server which I own, which teamspeak pays ZERO DOLLARS FOR is completely unreasonable.
dead dove. honestly im surprised theyre still around let alone making major releases because their business model is completely abysmal.
"lets allow people to use the software in a way that is completely free for us and costs money for them and then make them pay more money."
its like they dont know that discord is free and has no server cap.

here's what i've found so far regarding discord replacements:
stoat.chat: they are reverse engineering the discord api with the goal that you can use discord bots on stoat without having to change any of the code. you can self host your own server and make your own instances or make an instance on their server. the maintainers are extremely woke and when looking at the instance browser its all mostly lefty stuff. i dont say that because i think it should be avoided for political reasons, but instead because i expect a federation split in the future like with mastodon and fediverse.

rootapp: discord clone that has a lot of features and plugins for raid planning in MMOs no server software available so you'll be at their mercy when changes are made or pricing is introduced. i expect them to act exactly like discord when they get bigger (stripping features and putting them behind paywalls, banning speech they dont like, etc.)

also matrix, which has been "almost good" for a long time. i think its a little too security oriented for normies. ive noticed that if you try to encourage a normie to use "security tools" they get turned off. "signal app? isnt that used by like criminals or something? i dont have anything to hide."
i hate to say it but i dont think you'd get good adoption when trying to convince your friends to move to matrix/element. i hope im wrong

when you have the agency to solve your own problems, but not the will.

so i needed to get the ram on a computer up to a certain utilization to test something and the easiest way to do that is just open the cnn homepage on multiple browsers because their website is terribly inefficient and uses like half a gig or more of ram per page
and this is what i see when i go to the home page
YOU ARE A READ ONLY NEWS SITE
WHY WOULD I NEED TO AGREE TO ANYTHING TO LOOK AT ARTICLES WRITTEN BY BUGS

>free
boldest lie ive seen in a long time
