Paul MaudDib posted:is there a good on-premises solution like Slack? Teams is really obnoxious to use and IRC doesn't maintain chat history (without artificial solutions like bots, etc). Anything that's basically Slack, but self-hosted and free? You’re describing Mattermost. There’s an open source and enterprise solution.

Is this thread where I should ask how someone got a password for my Outlook.com account? The account has zero known breaches according to Have I Been Pwned.

What non-Steam programs are people using to play games from a remote PC these days? I've tried Steam's streaming, and sometimes it works, but other times it really doesn't, and Windows Remote Desktop has so much interface lag that it hurts the experience. I've seen reference to Multiplicity and it seems to be on sale right now, but I'm curious what the options are here.

I used it to play through a couple Resident Evil games last year

For gently caress sake Microsoft: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/11/microsoft-plans-to-integrate-a-buy-now-pay-later-app-into-edge/ I started using edge because it seemed like a less sleazy way to get chrome than chrome. Now I guess I have to start seriously looking at Vivaldi or Firefox again.

The browser situation is getting pretty lovely across the board. Firefox is the defend-your-rights option, but it's not chromium based and it feels like an increasing number of sites break on it. Or you got google harvesting every wiggle of your mouse to target you with an ad, or you got Microsoft pulling their habitual dumbshit schemes. I guess Vivaldi deserves a serious look now, I've basically been ignoring it forever. But at least it's chromium.

folks should use firefox to keep alive the last non-webkit derived browser. also handles oodles of tabs better in my experience.

I've finally made the last step and have basically completely transitioned back to Firefox. The Chromium landscape is depressingly lovely and if Firefox ever shutters it's doors, you can probably say goodbye to any kind of comprehensive adblock forever, and hello to a shitload of targeted ads by default. The nice thing is that Firefox is actually surprisingly decent these days. I haven't given it the time of day since Chrome basically beat the piss out of it, but it's a strong contender for all things surface level usability.

Another good thing about Firefox that hasn't come up is that it actually complies with the most HTML standards of any of the major browsers. Feels like back on the 90s where IE didn't give a poo poo about web standards compliance because of their market share.

We had an employee quit and we needed some information about a project he was working on so I was reviewing his Teams messages with the project manager only to see a nice long discussion about getting weed and "harder poo poo if you need it". When I finally slump over from a heart attack dead at my desk I hope my history isn't viewed by one of the people I made fun of

It does not automatically update itself, and the standard Chromium as provided by chromium.org is just the latest build hot off the tree. Stability not guaranteed.

Safari for Windows was terrible, didn't even have extensions support. Why would you want that back. And Safari is the modern Internet Explorer, holding the web back because Apple refuses to implement new web standards because they want to push people towards ios apps.

Not exactly something you do automatically every Friday, but it should be there as a worst case option. (Offer not valid outside Europe and all that.) Of course, this gets more complicated if your employer has a valid interest in those logs.

The disk name is actually an instruction in the process, you are supposed to skip adding at this point.

Coupon popups, payday loans, Pinterest integration, constant Bing nag screens, terrible extra features that don't work right, a start page that is broken once a month and pushes clickbait at you. It's pretty clear Microsoft is monetizing Edge as hard as it can.

What do people use for a VPN these days? I had ExpressVPN but it's a tiny bit pricey, I see a bunch of cheaper ones but don't really know which are recommended these days.
