So do I. During lockdown a french hosting company set up bbb instances on their infrastructure, and the experience was really good (they even activated the “join with your phone” feature).
Zoom and Gmeet are usable (usually calls are stable and quality is ok) but closed-source shit, and I had a lot of stability issues on public jitsi instances (though I never self-hosted).

I’ve tried opentalk for the first time a few weeks ago (it’s included in my email provider plan) and it worked fine.

What is supposed to be the difference between capitalism and garbage ? Asking for a commie friend.

In a capitalistic world where your right to stay alive is determined by the money you make, replacing himan jobs by machine ones is a real problem.

If what was happening was “ok so the machines are gonna do that so you’re gonna have a lot more free time but you still get your wages”, I for one would be happy.

But what’s happening is more along the lines of “well I hope you didn’t just get a mortgage because here’s the door hahaha don’t be sad think lf the extra money the shareholders are going to make” and it’s a real problem.

Just because it’s logical that shitty bosses take shitty decisions which impact negatively other person’s lives doesn’t mean we can’t be upset and vocal about it.

meatspace name I laughed reading this, it has a strong SMBC vibe :)

They are people.

Calling them monsters and dehumanizing them separates “them” from “us” and prevents us feom trying to understand how a real person, with intellect, feelings, a family, a social life etc. can get to the point where they do such things. If we don’t collectively at least try and understand it, we have zero chance of preventing it from happening again.

That being said, I’m not at all making excuses for their actions, which I find seriously violent, disgusting and worrying.
