I still look at it to gawk at the insanity on r/conspiracy or what the fear mongering knuckleheads on r/conservative are talking about. You can’t get the on Lemmy.

I never post or upvote on Reddit though. Simply lurk. I enjoy posting here because just seems way more chill.

Haven’t seen it but that’s a BOLD statement. I would like someone else’s opinion who has seen both.

That’s an interesting question and wonder what most would say. There’s a story behind yours that’s rooted in world history and obviously affected your family. IMO, you’re allowed to keep it without looking sympathetic.

Been here an almost year and literally just learned that from the above post.

If I am going to interpret your question verbatim, I would feel pretty confident in saying 99.9% of phone calls will traverse a VoIP trunk when they are connected. Does that mean it’s a VoIP call?

You have to remember the Public Switched Telephone Network is a bunch of different phone providers interconnected through all kinds of different protocols. Anytime you’re making a phone call, it’s going to hit a VoIP trunk at some point regardless if you’re calling from one of the few true analog lines left.

And as many pointed out in this thread, even if you have an analog line at your home or office, the chances are pretty high it is just a “handoff” that is probably connected to a VoIP device right on the other side - whether it’s at your site or at the providers central office.

There are still true copper lines and T1s out there but providers really want to get out of that space and are jacking up the rates for these services so high that it is forcing people to move dedicated VoIP service.

Side rant: I just really wish fax machines would go away. They are a challenge sometimes to get them working over a VoIP connection…

Following.

Came here for this. That’s been happening for quite some time lol

Lmao that’s an awesome story. Damn I might start playing your game.

One my simple joys in life is thrusting one of those bad boys in super hard and yelling “YEAH SMASH EM!!”

I get weird looks sometimes.

This works IMO. Our company used to do this. Hell, I even fell for one once, which is some shameful shit considering I work in the tech industry. That shame enough though has kept me more on toes ever since.

Isn’t the answer just gravity? Or am I missing something here. I never had a higher education.

Here’s a Stuff You Should Know podcast about it. I remember listening to this when it first came out and then the pandemic hit like a year later. I need to revisit it…

This vid brought me way more joy than I would’ve ever thought.

I think this is all personal preferences, but by default many times with an SO you usually are both building towards a common goal together to cement your future together. Again, I’m sure that’s not the case for everyone but I am just speaking generally.

With a “very good friend” that might not necessarily be the case - but these lines can all get very fuzzy depending on people’s outlooks, perspectives, wants etc.

I probably haven’t given you much clarity here but I also think many people have wrestled with at one point or another in the dating world.

Yeah this. Cute can be a catch all adjective I feel like and doesn’t have to be as explicit as OP is making it out to be.

Ah right on that’s a cool idea!

Yeah this is what I’m waiting/hoping for - or at least email notifications but I guess that falls into the hands of the true devs.

Still glad I’m rolling my 2000 Honda CRV shitbox with a Sony stereo from 2010 - when Bluetooth streaming to your car was just starting to be a thing. All the cheap plastic things are showing age but at least the thing can’t spy on me.

Yes that was it. Thank you!
