Just be happy that you don’t have moron uncles :D

accounting

squints eyes not sure if typo or not

A few days, maybe a week ago, my uncle said, in desperation, “but they promised to fix the fuel prices!” Without thinking I sort of muttered to myself, “and you believed them like a fucking moron.” Good thing I’m a bit bigger than him, I’m pretty sure he would have punched me if I were any smaller lol.

Where I am from, they’ve been doing that for a few decades now. We get snow and windy autumns, so trees fall on the lines, snapping them, leaving tens of thousands without electricity. Also the snow packs on the branches of the trees, making them either snap or just sort of lean on the power lines, snapping them, leaving tens of thousands without electricity in -25C degree weather.

Whaaaat? I thought Google was being nice and protective and keeping us safe with their recent changes to accessibility and such. How could this happen

I see your point, but something as simple as cutting a section of a video file should be quite easy to do, even with the most complicated software anyone can find.

Hehe. I was just mirroring you. If you think that was being a idiot, I agree with that. :)

I know I was just pretending, not sure about you though lol

Sorry your rambling answer was too long and stupid, I didnt bother to read it.

Have you considered not being a lazy and low effort asshole?

If I were to keep up with all the conflicts in the world, I wouldn’t have time to do anything else. So I prioritize. The war russia launched against Ukraine is the closest and affects me the most, so I pay the most attention to that.

Well obviously. At no point did I suggest that IRC can do everything Discord can, or that it can replace the things Discord does. All I said is that it exists and works well.

Yes, I agree. No need to buy nitro, no gif spam, no emoji spam, not relying on one corporations good will. It is indeed much better ;D

My account is too young to be sending private messages, so I’ll share the details here:

irc.inthemansion.com port: 6697 #lobby is the main channel

Piratical File System

I’m rather disappointed that there wasn’t any pirates involved.

Oh geez, I thought I posted it with a link, turns out I messed up.

Thanks for fixing my error :)

Some bouncers need to have the chat history replay set to enabled, some clients need a plugin to replay the history. I use Soju+weechat and had to do a bit of configuring to get it to work, but now it does work fine. Also, some channels have a server side history replay enabled, for example, in our network the main channel replays automagically 15 last messages and you can do a command to replay the last 100 messages.

Mobile support has improved a lot lately. There is a couple of users on the network who only use mobile to chat. Personally I don’t use any, so I can’t say much about it.

Well, turns out, I cant send messages because I’m a “very new account or very low reputation” :D I guess I’ll share here, mods can delete the comment if this sort of promotion is not allowed :)

The server address is irc.inthemansion.com port: 6697

Web chat can be found on the front page here https://inthemansion.com/

Join #lobby and say a greeting :)

That can be solved with a bouncer. The bouncer stays connected and loads chat history, when you do connect. :)

IRC exists and works great! :D

I’m on a self hosted network that is active almost around the clock, full of chill, wholesome and welcoming people. I can PM details for anyone who wants to come check us out (there is a webchat option, no need to set up a IRC client if you just want to have a look), don’t know if advertising is frowned upon here or not and I don’t want to spam or upset anyone.

Edit: Since my account is too young to be sending private messages to strangers, I’ll add the info here:

The server address is irc.inthemansion.com port: 6697
Join #lobby and say “hello” :)

Web chat can be found on the front page here https://inthemansion.com/ it will by default make you join #lobby. So if you are unfamiliar with IRC, that is the easiest way to try it out.

Really depends on where you are. I mean, we have actual trucks, not pick up trucks, but like those box trucks that deliver goods to shops and such. They drive around in cities no problem. Of course, some early medieval town in Germany or Italy is a different thing, but those are more a exception than the rule. You got to remember, Europe was bombed quite badly during the war and then in the 1970s there was a big obsession about building infrastructure for cars. That has been slowly reversed back to more pedestrian friendly cities, but still, they are not built in a way that prevents larger vehicles to use the streets.

The main reason for the lack of american style pick up trucks here is tax and fuel costs. People who need a pick up truck would rather drive around in a 2.4 diesel Toyota Hilux, than a 28 litre V8 motor Dodge RAM. Most of the people driving with Yank Trucks are people who fantasize about being a good ol’ boy from Texas, while not having traveled more than 25 kilometers outside of their home town of Kauhajoki.
