@suika I don't think it's really closed, otherwise that message wouldn't be displayed...

@Co Yeah, at least twice. Not sure what's going on but thankfully it was brief.

@sergeant@mstdn.social Wait.. kittens? That's a great musician!

@jun21 I think you've got the most important skill mastered already. ;)

That was 3 hours of gardening (read: cutting branches into pieces and putting in the bin) today. Dad'll do the big ones with the chainsaw tomorrow. I'm definitely going to have a rest day tomorrow because I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret this... All my fingers are wrapped in bandaids and I'm going to be oh so sore. :P

@bezdarbor Or watch a let's play of someone else who did it. I saw a nice one and remembered almost everything. :) Of course, they were also a lot more efficient. We'd take days to figure out which was where, whereas the let's player just did everything in perfect sequence. :D

@bezdarbor Not playing/liking SQ2 I can totally understand. SQ1 was hard, SQ2 was fiendishly so. SQ3 however, the game paused while you were typing which was a lot more relaxing. SQ4 didn't exist yet when I started playing. ;) So SQ3 has more nostalgia factor for me and taught me a lot of English.

@taylan Likewise, plus that Whatsapp is actually a shitty messenger. No customization possible (not much anyway) and the desktop version was the worst I've seen in a long time. Can't even minimize it to tray bar, which is.. whoa really, are you seriousy it's the 21st century!

Meh, Whatsapp just sucks. :)

@sergeant@mstdn.social Then I've joined your club. :)

Now I run both Telegram and Signal desktop versions, minimized to tray bar, their tray icons hugging each other.

@taylan I still somewhat use Whatsapp but when people want to contact me it's the least reliable form of messaging. They're better off using Telegram, and now also Signal, to get ahold of me. For Whatsapp I have to stare at a tiny phone screen... my sister already learned to get her tablet with Telegram if she really wants to contact me. My brother refuses and I read his group chat messages like once a month as result. :P (Put on mute, of course)

I'm reading more and more signals (heh, pun!) that more and more companies/schools/etc around here are moving on to Signal, so maybe I've joined on this bandwagon at the right time and more people will be using it. Especially as Facebook (or Meta, whatever) is pushing Whatsapp to be more Facebook-like.

@taylan Oh, I'm using that term very loosely. I know some use Signal or Whatsapp, and refuse to use Telegram (which is my preferred medium). From Whatsapp I keep missing messages because I refuse to run the desktop version (which stopped working anyway) because it's just a visual cluttery mess. Signal on the other hand is acceptable, so maybe I won't be missing some messages anymore as I barely look at my phone's screen.

Just installed Signal to see what it's like. The desktop app is acceptable. It can minimize to tray bar, which is extremely important to me as my task bar is cluttered enough as is. Customization options on both desktop and mobile are reasonably nice too. I guess I can run this messenger too.

Now to wait until after easter to contact my coworkers. :P

@amolith I can figure out what the last 3 should've been. But for the life of me I can't figure out what the first one should've read besides 'art is anal'. What was it supposed to read?!
