This is a common reaction and the response is common too: this is only the case if you follow the herd to 8v8 and the two club-like maps they fixate on. But if you study the community for 5 minutes first, you can walk past those two “pubs full of toxic jerks fighting” there are a dozen other options. Single player, PvE, 1v1 through 4v4 and FFA. These (smaller) game modes lack the level of drama you see in 8v8. You just have to go into the quiet restaurant with nerds playing chess and other board games instead of the obvious mess of a drunken bar across the street.

You can get by with 3 or four people. A few can be kids! It is intended to be played in person, but we started playing it remotely for "team building" in mid 2020. It works great over the internet, if everyone is technical enough to run two clients: one for your station and one for the "main" screen. If you have multiple monitors it works well. We've found all remote or all in person work well, and mixed makes comms frustrating.

Looks cool! I did a quick skim of the website and privacy policy. It was quick, so maybe I missed it, but where are the notes stored? How are they protected? Are the contents of the notes considered Personal Data as relates to the privacy policy?

A wise colleague recently explained to me that if you build HA things HA from the start, it's only a little more than 2x. If you try to make an _existing_ system HA, it's 3x at best. HN is not a paid service, they can be down for a few hours per year, no problem. We're not all going to walk away in disgust.

A mix of mutt for triage and reluctantly, the gmail web interface. I think I have tried every real client available and been disappointed in many different ways?

99% of all businesses are planning on at least two really bad quarters coming up. Very few have cash reserves to cover shortfalls. If you’re planning out the rest of the year, and you were already in a little trouble, you have to cut expenses immediately.

I’m not sure Omni is as tied to quarterly planning/reporting; but for those who are, and are on the regular calendar schedule, this all happened just in time for a lot of the potential Q1 end of quarter sales to dry up as everyone tightened up.

Same here, 5 digits and a hostname = no problem. There must be some other factor(s) in play.

You do probably want swap, but the comment you are replying to is talking about a swap _partition_ and that is not the only way to do swap. Using a file instead makes it easier to change the size of your swap, some people prefer that.

Put more simply, it is about increasing total addressable market.

It looks like keyboard shortcuts don't work here? I tried the new Thunderbird, but it looks like you (still) need an extension to change keyboard shortcuts and none of them work with v68 even if you don't mind third party extensions.

> It's like you try to peel back a single layer of why people believe what they believe and there's nothing there.

I'd like you to consider that something in your manner of "peeling back" is causing people to block you out

If I get the impression someone has pre-judged me or is generally disagreeable, I don't feed the bear. I just don't care what they think and if looking dumb gets me out of that conversation quickly that is fine by me.
