@Sarb That's actually a thing, depending on the mineral contents and pH. Contaminations and algae can affect it too.

Halloween is over - anyone trick or treat or give out candy?

Now I just have to wait for what @blobcat cooks up next for the styles

@gabor That's thanks to @blobcat who has been maintaining the CSS

Welcome to Pebble-but-Halloween, courtesy of @blobcat 👻

@blobcat My hot take is that on work devices, I airdrop fairly frequently (more than once a week). I would prefer this in a context menu than the multiple clicks on macOS. BUT, I would also want this to be configurable.

In fact, the context menu should be configurable in general. Like, bringing back copy and rename as name items instead of tiny icons.

@blobcat Got it, randomizing all element placements by +/- 50px
@blobcat It's not even really about Matrix or something being "good". It's more like, the barrier of entry and the friction to come together has to be low. That's where Discord has won. Decentralized is typically just code for friction (with benefits). It's a trade-off. And when it comes to barrier of entry to a community, it's typically quite high. I'm not saying decentralized is bad, it just comes at a cost.

@blobcat Yeah I wasn't a big fan of the Roblox acquisition. But, that also means they got an injection of fun money.

But Roblox doing Roblox things isn't great.

I just want a Discord competitor that people will actually use. I've been using it forever, but I would jump in a heartbeat if I knew others would too.

Teamspeak still isn't there yet (and won't be).

And I won't buy into the whole Matrix or FOSS thing (hot take, I know - I just don't care).

@blobcat A rare time I'm glad to have full veto power.

However, I do accept bribes.

@blobcat In my age range there's still a lot of people not on it that still fall into different areas of interest which is interesting.

I would much prefer some quality alternatives. Guilded for example is actually much more feature rich for communities.
