    Jitsi meeting will do that plus it's open source! You can host your own jitsi server if you desire. I run a Matrix chat for my family so that no one is scraping our data and we can do video calls...

    Your eyeballs are particularly worrisome. When I got my amateur radio license the course referred to people as meat sacks and warned about frying meat sacks. It was great!

    Start by understanding the relationship between aperture, iso and shutter speed. Knowing what and when to use each is immensely helpful. Take a photography course or join a local photography walk to discuss things with people. Then try and be purposeful, try and really think then shoot. Try not to chimp too much (taking a photo and looking at the screen to see what you got) so that you really reflect on what you're shooting and anticipate what you will get.

    Its tough because I obviously can't give all the details here on a public and open forum. But I knew that in Tildes I would see a good conversation and have people probe my situation in a way that would help me process it or at least try to. It's been interesting reading the discussion around it and feeling my thoughts and emotions as I read the opinions.

    It's really making me question my ability to judge a character. I also found out that he had an affair a few years ago which is blowing my mind. I really appreciate your reply.

    That situation is actually quite similar. He's a big supporter of women and has raised thousands for anti domestic abuse causes. I really appreciate your insights. Thank you.

    When I was in high school, I had a friend who put his hands down a girls pants while she slept and I just cut him out. I always wondered if I could have helped him through that situation instead. It's a thought that is playing in my head and I appreciate your thoughts on it because this has been tearing at me.

    The reason I posted here was exactly for this kind of conversation. Thank you.

    Hi all,
    I don't know where to turn on this. I work in a small company, my boss who is an amazing person and has given me so much and helped me really kick start my career has had some accusations over the past little while. But now I've heard a few stories that really show that he's done some shady stuff. My boss has been like a brother to me and is a close friend. I have no idea how to digest this and I have no idea who I could talk to, so I'm just posting here.

    I don't want to lose a friend, he's been nothing but amazing to me.

    Edit: thank you everyone. I'll keep reading the comments. I just need to reflect on this and I appreciate your discussions.

    Edit 2: There is proof enough to not deny things, inappropriate and agressive advances and groping stuff. Nothing good.

    Producers have a huge influence on the end result. It's why Mut Lang was a rock muse and sug night was a rap god. These people know the stuff to get payed

    I also setup a Navidrome backend for music on a raspberry pi 4 in docker with a dynamic DNS service. I was shocked at how easy it was and how great it is setup. I paid for Synfonium and it is awesome. I find it to be like Spotify on steroids.

    That said, I need to reorganize the folders and I need a better way to discover new music, that's what is keeping my Spotify sub at the moment.

    I think when Speakers Corner shut down it was clear it was over. It was the end of listening to people or trying to make something with the people. Then it's just TV.
