  • I only have used privacy-invasive solutions, and I don’t know if there exists an easy way to do that securely.

    Discord, Signal, Telegram: forget it, it’s good to send a grocery list to my wife, but that’s it.

    Teams: I hate it, it’s resource hungry and I always had issues with it.

    I use Google Meet nowadays at my new job and it’s fine. Everything is on the web, no need to install anything. Of course it’s Google and it’s bad, but so far I don’t mind.

    I’ve heard about https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/ once but I have never tried that.





  • Yes, Sinatra too. He is obsessed by the 60/70s first rock music (the real kind, not the fake stuff of the 50s) and he’s stuck there.

    You know what’s worse? He is listening on a regular basis to singers he hates because they wrote their own songs. Having pure principles is more important that liking something. Yep, he’s fucked up in his head somehow.


  • No one ever asked that question about an opera singer

    I actually have asked this specific question to my idiotic boomer father recently (not MAGA but almost). He “knows” (or religiously believes) that people must both compose AND perform, otherwise they suck. I had some free time with this moron so I kept on trying to find examples until I went to your question.

    An opera singer cannot “write” lyrics because they sing Mozart stuff and Mozart is dead. My father answered very seriously that, yes, even the best opera singer is still a failure because he’s singing songs from dead people.

    Now you know, Bocelli and Pavarotti failed at life.

    Let’s say that we have a complicated relationship, he never was a father to me, and I’ll grieve him for 30 seconds when he dies, but some people do believe that. Sorry for the rant.
