You jest, but I carry a sacrificial tablet with me so I don’t need to install Zoom or Teams on my proper laptop that I am in love with.

Also, I disable its Wi-Fi when I’m done. Call me paranoid; I’ve been called worse.

This reminds me of when I was adding wifi to the office for the first time and I had one guy convinced it was gonna give him cancer and refused to come into work.

HR made me sit down with him and explain why it won’t give him cancer.

After a chat much like this I ended up printing off a booklet from the world health organization on it and he finally felt safe.

Explaining the word “non-ionizing” to people not familiar with current science can be a NIGHTMARE so good job.

Wifi doesn’t give you cancer, but 5G gives you Covid. /s

That’s why the covid vaccines has chips in it. To stave off the 5G electronically so you don’t get covid.

I had a choice when I took my meetings online in early 2020, Jitsi Meet (jitsi.org, FOSS) or Z (proprietary, and $$). I choose incorrectly. Right up until they put a part in their TOS, last September, saying they would use our video for training AI. I switched my meetings over to JItsi. Go FOSS, and don’t go back.

Ha, I remember a coworker doing something with Jitsi back in 2020. He described it as ‘being stuck in Jitsi-jail’!

TBF it’s quite functional now. Maybe your coworker wished they were somewhere else. :-(

Indeed, that coworker ended up getting a different job around the end of the year. I’m 50/50 on “good for him” and “too bad” – he sounded excited about the other gig, but he was cool. I miss working with him.

Out of curiosity, what prompted you to pick something that costs money over something free?

Jitsi didn’t seem far enough along in it’s development, at that time. It was a mistake.

Create post

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’ and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
