“If only the oppressive government in a foreign country would stop oppressing my minority it would be a safe indicator to move there on a large scale, surely they would welcome outsiders raised on a western mindset into their homogenous society”

“Get vored”? Wtf man. This makes me want to unalive myself

This is still my favorite copypasta of all time

Your threat model seems… Interesting lol. Is there a high chance of people trying to aggressively plant a tracker on you when out in the open?

Yes obviously it is a place of business. The point is that everything becomes a place of business, and society already is severely lacking in social spaces where people can just exist and encounter each other without the expectation of making someone money. Do you not think that is a dystopian development?

They probably didn’t let you nurse a single coffee all day before either, but as i understand this it now is “buy shit, consume it, and get the fuck out or buy more”.

out ratio use

I really miss /boneappletea

Yet another place where you have to consooom only. No social spaces left in society

We just reached a point where they feel confident in going full mask off. They have subverted the american democracy and are poised to do it elsewhere too, and can pursue their hideous goals more openly.

For the next storage revolution go with the opposite of your prediction maybe

I only moved to Linux myself last year, and went/stuck with bazzite. I use my computer for gaming, browsing the Internet, consuming media and occasionally some basic office work, which all work just fine right out of the box.

I haven’t even had to use the CLI much yet, and am still very inexperienced using it, but the fact that I am able to use the OS as my daily driver without any real need for the CLI should speak volumes to its user friendliness.

Was also thinking op is looking for paywalled things to print lol

Well yes obviously nobody can prevent the recipient from taking a picture of the screen with a second device or writing down manually what the message said.

No system is foolproof, but those features are definitely miles ahead of anything meta provides, since they dont actually want those chats to be encrypted. They want that data, it is their business model.

Pretty, sure the more user / privacy friendly options prevent screenshots or copying from an encrypted chat, and also allow the participants to delete their messages after they were read or even a set time.

Discord isnt open source either tho so how does that matter for the comparison?

And while yes it is a little outdated, I do recall the time before discord when people would have their own teamspeak server instead, which worked very similar to the fediverse.

You had the client and could connect to any server you had the credentials to, which each were owned and hosted by various people or groups each with their own rules and code of conduct.

There is an alternative people have used before discord came, it is called teamspeak. Is still around as well, but works more like a federated system since everyone has to set up and host their own server for people to use.

There is another, semi official linux client called vesktop. Comes with a range of plugin options, all improving or enabling functions the default client doesnt offer or hides behind a paywall. It also has had screen share on Linux for the longest time,if you do the switch give it a go. Certainly better than the default app

I am concerned that most users won’t understand that either

Never encountered such issues myself. Perhaps it is related to your instance?

Slower inflation doesnt mean more money, it means less loss of money for longer.

To actually revert the hyperinflation since covid there would have to be a years long deflation happening.
