  • This ties into the comment I was going to make separately. For context, my dad recently passed. First father’s day without him. My mom asked to watch a movie that meant something to the both of them because they saw it together in a drive in on release and it was very memorable because the technology and techniques used were fascinating at the time. She complained that it wasn’t on Disney+ or anywhere.

    You may have guessed it, but she requested Song of the South. One serious moral quandary later, I got it ready for her to watch.

    Tomorrow is gonna be rough, but at least my sailing might bring some good memories for her.

    The real question is: How in the world did Ventrillo continue to exist after TeamSpeak came along?

    Vent was an object lesson in hostile UX. It sounded like shit, changing any kind of setting (even basic things like individual volumes) was a a gymnastics routine, and mics constantly clipped despite settings.
