IRC really needs a discord styled client.

Something where if you drop an image or video onto it, it’ll automatically upload it to a private imgur link and share it.

If you want to share a larger file, maybe it uploads to wetransfer or something automatically.

Discord is basically IRC and more, but it’s also easier for non-techies to join a discord server, and you have a common identity across all servers.

The beauty of something open like IRC though is the fact that you can make and use any client you want, including an old C64 if you really wanted to… with additional adapters of course

Also, buy the ad-supported version from a place other than Amazon, and tell Amazon you got it as a gift and would like to remove the ads.

There’s a non-zero chance the customer service will remove it free of charge because I don’t think it’s possible for someone to pay to remove the ads if it wasn’t purchased from Amazon directly.

Calibre with the DeDRM plug-in, then “borrow” books from Overdrive.

Calibre can also convert other formats into the format used by Kindle.

Trying to find a community for a popular topic isn’t the easiest in the world… it’s a bit like the old days where you had to find a good forum for the topic you wanted to chat about.

Because Lemmy isn’t as conveniently accessed, and it’s just slow.

It’s also confusing.
