I am not sure if you meant to reply to the other person’s comment or refer to them in mine, but I think this video does a pretty good job at explaining socialism/communism to people wanting to understand it: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=fpKsygbNLT4

I’ll try to give my own explanations later.

For me, it was around 2015ish when I first installed Linux after learning about it from someone that was detasselling in a corn field with me. Then around 2017-2020ish, I eventually became radicalized (2017 is when net neutrality was killed, even though around 80% of Americans supported it, which made me question our government and economy).

Backstory:

I came across one of their trucks one day on the road, which said APPLE on the back, and next to it was a logo similar to ArcoLinux, which is based on Arch. Today, I actually came across their site, so I decided to post this for shits and giggles.

I actually use Arch and Gentoo, btw.

Referencing my buried comment with suggestions:

I don’t remember and can’t find a post I saw in the past recommending better video chat applications for more than two users. I believe one was Jitsi and another Wire. I just found another video conferencing application someone recommended online: MiroTalk. Different open source software excel in different areas.

Sorry, I just realized this post is about instant messaging platforms and not specifically their video chat features.

I like Element better because of its Markdown capabilities (though still very limited) and the ability to edit messages. I used element for my team coding projects in college, which worked very well and integrated nicely with our GitHub updates, but it sucked for video conferences. Signal barely holds up for two-user video chats, though that could be my internet or someone else’s.

I also want to self host my own XMPP server someday.

There is Revolt. Maybe younger people will like that more.
