@c_reider "Y'all" is for all. I'm originally from Alabama and have rejected pretty much every aspect of southern culture and have managed to mostly get rid of what southern accent I had. But I refuse to stop saying "y'all". "You" needs a plural form, and "y'all" is by far the least worst version I've encountered.

Are you working remote? Are you unionised? Tell me about it 🙏

@neil Do you have more info on that surface go + linux setup you mentioned? I've been looking for basically a modern netbook and it looks like that could be close enough.
@SecureOwl did I miss something or is there just a slow decline happening?

@jalict Hopefully someone comes along with an even simpler one, but if you already have or want a nextcloud instance, its Talk app isn't much *additional* effort. I originally wasn't going to bother setting up Talk when setting up nextcloud because Signal works better for my use case, but it wound up being simple enough that I did anyway. It supports joining a call without an account. It has web and mobile apps. I mostly still use Signal but when I have used Talk, it's worked pretty well.
@davidcarew Do you have any recommendations for learning them in a way that sticks other than just rote drills? I've given them a try a few times but always ended up reaching for them just infrequently enough that I could never remember how to use them.
