General and Announce.
Announce is only for announcements.
General is used sometimes for OT stuff, like I've congratulated
Andrei on the birth of one of his kids (I asked prior). Or some
stuff about COVID preparation.
Where is the preferred place to *shoot the breeze*? D
adjacent, but off-topic and mostly social (with the
*desirable* assumption that the audience is all D programmers
and openly nerd minded).
Generally speaking, not here.
You might want to try Discord instead, long term searchable and
we do have an off topic channel that has been used for
discussions about things like electrical engineering. Although
we do try to discourage stuff like political discussion in
there due to the potential conflict it can create.
Thanks, rikki.
Yeah, I guess it's Discord then. I joined a group there a while
back (Hercules mainframe emulation of old MVS and VM/370) and
have figured out most of the settings to turn off the incessant
flashing, beeping, and utter distractions to peripheral vision
and perceptions; so, ok (typed in a remorseful sad face defeated
mode). ;-)
Have good.
