Slack is my modern go-to, but I still also use IRC. Slack has great support for technical chat, doesn’t slow my i7 with 32GB RAM to a crawl, has great multiple account support and even voice chat if you are into that. I prefer zoom for video when I need it, but slack’s isn’t nearly as shit as teams.

Maybe businesses will stop forcing “free” Teams on their workforces now. What a pile of shit.

Resistance in wire creates a voltage drop, just like hair in a water pipe creates a drop in available pressure.

Acshually, a solvent. 🙃
