the misogynistic myth that women only care about money and/or fame

Genuiney disheartening that this shit is re-surfacing again. I remember this sentiment going about around a decade ago, and then subsiding. Now it’s resurfacing. Every generation loves to repeat the mistakes of it’s past

I second the suggestion of an A-series Samsung. My brother has an A24, which is pretty great. It’s doesn’t have the same performance as a S-series, but it’s a great device at its price, and more durable and better battery life than the S-series imo.

I’m on the other side of your opinion - I like that phrase. “Content” can mean art, audio/visual media, writings, etc. - basically anything that we consume.

IMO, Professional creative like artists/writers/performers are all content creators but not not all content creators are professional creatives.

In this day and age, everyone creates music, comedy, videos, skits. Some work a job primarily but create media or rabbitholes that can be scoured through.

I think “content creator” is a nice catch-all term for personalities that do a lot of stuff that can be casually consumed for entertainment or discourse, especially because it stops limiting said people to one occupation like “musician” or “author”, while also preserving the seriousness of those occupations.

I find this arguing over labels more and more as I browse online, and it is sooo exhausting. I have noticed so many instances of arguing and discourse where both sides have similar ideals and want the same things, but argue with each other over stereotypes of labels on the other side, and point to the faults of the vocal rabid minority on the other side as if to prove a point. Sigh.

Hmm, that actually sounds manageable, as I don’t plan on storing the files on server for a long time. Only issue is the notifications part I think, not sure how to configure that . I’ll check it out

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, I plan for this to be a LAN thing only, we’re all currently living in the same house, and only need it when we’re working indoors here, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

I’m currently setting up nextcloud, as it’s file transfer is impeccable, and it has a somewhat-functional chat feature. I have been having a little problem setting up the domain name + certificate - I would love to configure this to an internal IP but it seems that’s not allowed for some reason - nextcloud documentation is suggesting a reverse proxy for setting up a local instance which seems like … double the work? I’ll try that if nothing else works out, and I’m gonna try it with a self-signed certificate for now, if that fails I’m not sure

Seems to fit all my needs, the talk app looks a little dull, but I think it will be pretty functional for our needs

I also found Mattermost and Rocketchat while looking up nextcloud, and they seem promising too. Any idea about them?

Got it, thanks!

Ahhh

I use Syncthing already for a lot of my stuff, but it doesn’t fit the bill right now. I’ve been reading about Matrix while looking around for this, do you have any experience with it?

Oooh this looks interesting, what a nice project!

I’ll check it out, but it seems the local part is more of a backup than a primary feature, so not sure if it’ll work for me

I’m a delighted user of SyncThing but it doesn’t fit the use case this time unfortunately.

Berty sounds almost exactly like what I want, though I would have prefered an app with server-client architecture. Is Berty not in Open Beta? I’m being asked for an email that will consider letting me join when they receive it

XMPP sounds great, but I heard it has difficulty with file transfer. How was your experience with it?

Mostly it’s because we’re using Telegram for our workflow and everyone is pretty used to it by now (including our parents, who’re slow to adapt).

We’re gonna be sharing videos, photos, and files on an hourly basis, and not every person is invovled with the every other person’s workflow. If it could ideally be a messenger, we would have conversations regarding these files, and the chat history+notifications on new file upload would be pretty nice.

there’s a zip file of rarbg sql database file floating around, it has the magnet links of every torrent on the website, anyone interested may look it up and download stuff before they die
