Read my ★ review of the recent Noah Baumbach film "White Noise," which like my look the other day at the 1985 novel this was adapted from turned out to be a pretentious, nearly unwatchable disaster, promising thrills about mind-controlling drugs and "airborne toxic events" but in reality just another endlessly talky MFA festival snoozer. https://letterboxd.com/jasonpettus/film/white-noise-2022/

Personally, I have positive experiences using the #VideoConferencing software #Talky with my comics course.

They say it's for up to 6 people, but everything is going smoothly with 10+ participants from different platforms.

(One of the others is using it on her phone, though, and frequently gets kicked out of the chat.)

I've found it in the recommendations section of the #CryptoParty site.

(Next apocalypse I'll try #NextCloudTalk, though...)

#WebRTC - free and open source truly simple #video #chat and screen sharing for small groups can replace #Skype

No more email invitations – simply share the link to the room you have created with the people you want to talk to and voilà! The protocol is already built into all modern browsers so no installs either.

Enterprises could setup their own internal signalling server (it is #FOSS) after all.
