Nov 24 14:26:39 <akik> people have started writing in other languages than english at indiegogo :)
Nov 24 14:26:54 <akik> smh
Nov 24 14:27:14 <akik> why does everything turn to s**t
Nov 24 16:35:54 <davedoom> I search for recipes on youtube quite a bit. Nowadays I frequently find that all of the top results are in an Indian language.  I looking for a new phone now.  This is in addition to the Cosmo.  I need something I can use for navigation on a bike. If you search for info on a phone on youtube you see somthing like this:
Nov 24 16:35:55 <davedoom> https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=vivo+u20
Nov 24 16:36:18 <davedoom> All of the results are in non-english languages.
Nov 24 16:37:59 <davedoom> I recall that Google launched a service called Orkut some years ago.  The site was rapidly discovered by Brazilians and English speakers abandoned it after a while.
Nov 24 16:38:09 <davedoom> Eventually Google shut it down.
Nov 24 16:38:55 <davedoom> I'm afraid that youtube ( another google product) will also be shut down.
Nov 24 19:15:13 <TallTim> thats always been the danger in centralized services davedoom
Nov 24 19:15:18 <TallTim> no big surprise
Nov 24 19:16:21 <davedoom> I just saw CGP Grey.  After his youtube channel got shut off he told everybody to sign up for his email list.
Nov 24 19:16:32 <davedoom> I get the impression that email is for olds.
Nov 24 19:17:38 <davedoom> If someone asked me how to organize a group today I wouldn't even know how to respond.
Nov 24 19:17:57 <davedoom> What is discord?  Does anybody use email outside of Gmail?
Nov 24 19:18:21 <akik> why are you so ignorant?
Nov 24 19:18:49 <davedoom> I'm a SA with 20 years experience.  I guess I just missed the boat.
Nov 24 20:27:06 <TallTim> email is useful for async comms
Nov 24 20:27:17 <TallTim> discord is IRC with pretty UI
Nov 24 20:27:30 <TallTim> just use whatever tool suits you I guess
Nov 24 20:45:27 <davedoom> I know what discord is.  I'm making a point.  There isn't any distributed, secure, anonymous and free ( in both senses of the word) platform .... That people are willing to use.
Nov 24 20:47:25 <akik> davedoom: ask them to join irc
Nov 24 20:51:13 <davedoom> yeah.
Nov 24 20:52:56 <akik> oh right. they can't click things
Nov 24 21:04:47 <TallTim> or maybe you're not compelling enough for them to want to interact with you
Nov 24 22:18:58 <melissa_> Hello everyone
Nov 24 22:19:16 <melissa_> I am finally starting to use GNU/Linux on my Gemini
Nov 24 22:36:05 <melissa_> I am installing the programs on it :-)
Nov 24 22:40:08 <davedoom> do you plug it into a monitor?
Nov 24 22:42:10 <melissa_> No
Nov 24 22:42:30 <melissa_> 6" is pretty big
Nov 24 22:42:35 <davedoom> ok.
Nov 24 22:42:44 <melissa_> At least that is my opinion
Nov 24 22:42:46 <davedoom> What programs will you run on it?
Nov 24 22:42:54 <melissa_> I wanna run dosbox on it
Nov 24 22:43:00 <melissa_> And then Lotus Agenda on that
Nov 24 22:43:11 <melissa_> And Commander Keen and a snes emulator
Nov 24 22:43:20 <melissa_> And use it for programming
Nov 24 22:43:35 <davedoom> I don't remember that.  What does Lotus agenda do?
Nov 24 22:45:48 <melissa_> It is a calendar app / PIM
Nov 24 22:46:02 <melissa_> And also the bestest
Nov 24 22:46:12 <davedoom> I'm  looking at a video on it.  It looks well suited  to the small screen.
Nov 24 22:47:08 <davedoom> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandler_(software)
Nov 24 22:47:12 <davedoom> Have you tried this?
Nov 24 23:02:00 <melissa_> I tried it but it was crap
Nov 24 23:02:10 <melissa_> Just like all remakes.
