I used to spend tons of time on forums 20 or so years ago. Social media killed many of those off, but there’s no reason that something else can’t do the same thing - be it Lemmy communities or something else.

Here’s Active Directory, you’ll figure it out.

Of course :-)

I think the main thing here is to use your own domain, which means you can point it at whatever host you want, whenever you want. Inbox.eu has worked well for me, it’s simple but also cheap and from the EU :-)

It's one domain per mailbox with 5 aliases per mailbox.

True, though this applies to most tools, no? For instance, I'm forced to sit through horrible presentations beause someone were given a task to do, they created a Powerpoint (badly) and gave a presentation (badly). I don't know if this is inherently a problem with AI...

You could, but for many of us, the point of having access to our services is to have access from anywhere :-)

No no no, with gods, you can kind of shop around, most of them won't mind much, at least not in the 'send a lightning bolt down to fry Mothra@mander.xyz' kind of way. Essentially, gods need people to believe in them (so they can exist), and people need someone to blame. Offler, the crocodile-headed god, is quite popular, as is Blind Io, chief of the gods.

I work in IT, so in my headcannon, I pray to the gods of DNS. Put into a classical context, I imagine this is Hermes from Greek mythology (messenger of the gods), Thoth from Egyption mythology, etc.

Completely honestly though - I think faith is similar to energy, in the 'conservation of energy' type of way. So the total amount of faith humanity holds has stayed the same, but instead of praying to gods, we now have faith in things like... Ryzen processors. DNS. Manual transmissions. Black coffee. Subaru. These are just some of the things I have faith in, if you asked my daughter, the answers would probably be Peppa Pig, mom & dad, Everest the Paw Patrol character, a blue baloon, cheesecake is best cake, her stuffed animal squid, etc. Both answers are completely valid :-)

I played Morrowind back in the day and I completely agree, I couldn't play it now, just don't have the capacity. The journaling in that game of specific quests was pretty bad, as was the horrible leveling system.

Exactly - I find AI tools very useful and they save me quite a bit of time, but they're still tools. Better at some things than others, but the bottom line is that they're dependent on the person using them. Plus the more limited the problem scope, the better they can be.

I've been using my own domain pointed at Inbox.eu. They're based in the EU and I haven't had any problems, I pay for 2 users, the price is something like 12€ per user per year, so it's cheap enough for me.

I mean, for Morrowind at the time I played it, I probably didn’t even realise modding was a thing, I must have played it around 2005 or so :-)

Thanks, I think I needed to read this today.
