  • It's understandable they have paid version. It was always there. But the wording around was dayn and night different and that's what confused me. I needed "teamviewer alternative" last month, went there confident I have a solution, but after a moment of looking at the new-to-me site I was honestly not sure whether I can use it or not. More reading didn't really help in this regard, so I went with RustDesk instead. It did the job I needed and ia open source on top of it.

  • I went to https://anydesk.com/en and got confused. I remeber (or maybe I just say so myself) years and years ago it stated obviously it's free for personal use. Now it's just generic site with links to download and not much info and obviously aimed at companies and their $$.

  • I remeber it used to be free for personal use, but it seems it's paid plan only?

  • Yeah, I convinced my wife to use Signal instead of Whatsapp to cummunicate with me.

  • Exactly. I'd prefer to switch to something else like Matrix or something like that, but there's no way to convince everyone here to do so...

  • I use openSUSE as a system and then your usual programs like firefox, steam, vlc, strawberry, discord (sadly), freetube, etc.

  • I can't think of how p2p messengers even could have webapp.

  • I was just casually watching opening ceremony without giving a shit before, waiting for my country flag to appear and out of sudden there's metal performance. Wtf? That's great! I look at the drummer and think "This must be Gojira!" And indeed it was.

  • I loved watching my friend playing it, but I couldn't play it myself. First I had terrible PC back then, second even if I had decent one, this gameplay loop is too stresfull for my nerves somehow.

  • I believe they learned how to milk those buyers hardcore...

  • It depends...

    1. Am I always tired and exhausted from my full time job? If so the weekend shift had to be like walk in a park - happy people, good colleagues, good pay, no bullshit. If it's another exhausting job, then hell no. Maybe for a short period of time to get extra cash if that's really needed.
    2. Is my full time job really easy on nerves and I'm coming home relaxed and in good mood all the time? Why not keep in touch with medical field to stay relevant there?

    Edit: also depends on other factors, like family, children, etc. Having a child, you'd have to be really desperate to get another job instead of taking care of the kid.

  • I finally get to my PC, so here's more:

    • Hammock
    • Appalaches
    • Unsigned Char
    • PG.lost
    • Bound (more of shoegaze)
    • Caves of Steel
    • Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson (more rock-ish, but great)
    • Coastlands
    • Distant Dream (more guitar soloing)
    • El Ten Eleven (more electronic)
    • El Altar Del Holocausto
    • Goodbye Earth
    • I/O
    • Neil on Impression
    • Nice Wings, Icarus!
    • No One Wished To Settle Hereafter
    • Old Solar
    • Random Forest
    • Redjetson
    • Rhone
    • Seanné
    • Sleepmakeswaves
    • Souls Vibrating in the Universe
    • This Patch of Sky
    • Upcdownc
    • We Deserve This
    • The End of the Ocean
    • DiEgita

    Most of these can be found on Bandcamp. Let me know if you like something.

  • This is a post-rock band I just ... I don't know ... everyone praises them, but songs I've heard did not really convince me. It was somehow very different.

    Even more than e.g. Mono and that's Japanese band. And we all know how weird Japan things can be.

  • Definitely do. They have quite distinct sound due to usage of lap steel guitar. I like it a lot.

    I'll check my collection for more bands like this if you'd like.

  • Anything post-rock...

    • God is an astronaut
    • Red Sparowes
    • Mogwai
    • Sigur Ros
    • Explosions in the sky
    • Etc. Etc.
  • It was indeed great game. Second one improved it to almost perfection, at least for its time.

  • I can recommend Age of Wonders games. Classic series is fantasy but there's also sci-fi spinoff Planetfall which you might enjoy even more.

    Edit: Also Civilization obviously. I recommend especially 5.

    Edit 2: If you don't mind really old games, check out Master of Orion 1/2.

  • Well I'd gladly switch my car on yearly basis if it cost the same as my phone...

  • That's exactly the reason I bought Kia too last year.

  • Todays cars cockpit layouts are straight out dangerous for the roads tbh. Forcing you to point your eyes to some shitty display somewhere to turn down your AC, then try to tap tiny buttons and hope you won't tap on something else, instead of looking at a road in front of you? How is that even allowed ffs?!
