tester34··on Discord has won over gamers. Now it wants everybody else
I'm not sure what do you mean by "kitchen sink", but at work we do often share screen with eachothers

e.g when somebody needs help with something / to help debug something or show current version of app to my product owner.

It's very handy feature

and yes, this feature is important because switching between apps just to mute/unmute yourself is terrible experience and

this problem has been solved like 2 decades ago or more with PUSH2TALK.

It makes gaming or even coding and streaming and talking while having people at home

(especially now, during WFH/pandemic) annoying as hell.

The rest I didn't check.

Could you name at least two other platforms that offer at least

Decent chat (file sharing, emojis, support for code snippets), decent voice chat, decent streaming and supports PUSH2TALK button?

and I personally prefer when it is not self-hosted due to DDoS risk, but it's not must have.

and is e.g F/OSS?

Because I'm unable to name and that's why I started using Discord

>Going to university means a few more years of them not being able to work full-time and contribute to the household income. But for sure, if education was free it would improve access to education and restore some balance.

In Poland you can attend higher edu institutions on weekends and work meanwhile.

It often costs you like 1.x * minimal wage per semester, thus in total like 17K PLN for bachelor/engineering degree (3.5 years).

I did it, those a few years will be hard for you when it comes to free time, but I think it's decent trade off, especially if your job is already related to what you're studying, so this way you can have both: degree and work experience.

>Only to wealthy privileged people who can discuss their first-world problems on forums like this. As folks get poorer on the scale the more a car becomes an unavoidable necessity for many.

I'm living on countryside in Eastern Europe and by no metrics I'm anywhere near to being wealthly

You don't have to be wealthly to have privilege of not having to own car, it's often about job.

Majority of people I know needs their cars due to their jobs. Of course part of people I know actually enjoys driving and stuff.

WFH helps with it significantly, but even before I've been commuting by train due to it being cheap and allowing me to e.g read a book, sleep and generally have time for me

For things that are within e.g 10km radius like shops, services, then I tend to use bike (unless its winter ofc)

but I think it's hard to do it pernamently, at some point I think I may need to get one just in case.

In cities it may be easier cuz you can always call Uber/Taxi

> As folks get poorer on the scale the more a car becomes an unavoidable necessity for many.

Sometimes I believe that car is what actually keeps people poor

When I look at friends they spend significant amount of their salary on car - insurance, fuel, maintenance - it ranges between like 3k PLN to 10k PLN where minimal wage is around 2K

So if you have to pay 4K per year for your car when your year salary is 24K

then shit's no cheap and I think we're optimistic here, but often it allows you to have job, so it's terrible situation.

>At noon on June 28, 2012, Vladimir Drinkman, targeted as one of America’s most wanted cybercriminals, and his wife hustled into a cab pulling away from their Amsterdam hotel. They had just been tipped off that the police were on to them, but an unmarked police car blocked their getaway. The Russian was handcuffed and arrested on charges of helping to mastermind what has been called the largest criminal hacking scheme ever prosecuted in the United States.
