I checked their site and it looks like you can download the teamspeak server binary for free, even TS6 beta! Or did I miss something here?

Their site has a download page for the ts6 beta, client and server! There’s even a Linux client!

Spacebar.chat (or github here) is meant to be a drop-in replacement with support for discord bots, but it has been super alpha the few times I’ve tried it. Haven’t checked in for a few months though!

(Edit: yeah I just checked and spacebar is still very much a work in progress. Looks extremely promising though!! It seems there are devs posting updates on the main spacebar instance, which is cool)

Rocket.chat also has a self hostable option, but I don’t recall that one being super great either.

This 100%. Calling is also super iffy in my experience (element / schildichat), and group calls are a non-starter, since it outsources them to a separate service, jitsi, embedded inside the element client.

What the FUCK.

I immediately went to settings and, I guess at some point I’d already given these swine my phone number? Went to remove it and I’ve greeted by this wonderful toast message=

God I wish something was fully suitable as an easy discord replacement 😭 spacebar seems rad if it wasn’t super alpha. And as cool as element is, it just doesn’t have the same low bar to entry that discord has (not to mention group calls are jank as hell, when they work, and there’s no screen share yet tragically)…

What the shit - this is how I learn ‘cd’ without parameters takes you home?!?!

The amount of times my dumb ass has typed “cd ~/.” Or something stupid instead of a simple cd… Gaht dang

Dude right though!! Those are the worst!! And they only seem to pop up when I’m tossing a playlist on right as I start driving, worst fkn thing!!

Ok don’t get me wrong (fuck shorts, they’re a terrible follow of a trend across so many platforms), but at least on mobile it seems like they’re shorts from people I subscribe to 🤷‍♂️ so I’m cool with supporting the folks I subscribe to, I guess
