No. Fuck homogenized UI design. Let devs do whatever they fuck they want. Pick the app you want and then learn its icons.

Its already down again fyi

Her friends have been dead for years. She just sees posts from an AI bot fed with their data now and thinks they are still alive.

Dogs just have much more of a presence in your life. Cats typically just chill around while sometimes giving you attention, but dogs are constantly interested in what you are up to.

I use quiterss on my linux desktop. Its already in the repos on debian and works great for me. I have extremely minimalistic requirements tho, so might not be for you if you want a shiny UI. It has tagging, custom keyword filtering, folders, notifications. All i need.

I remember youtube creators recommending other creators small channels and stuff like that. I want that back.

Xcancel has never not worked afaik. There is a dedicated firefox plugin to redirect too. Either they are paying for API access or they are scraping.

The uncle is funny, i like him.

Maybe OP was simply a child then? Children arent usually exposed to / aware of the total shitstorm that is politics.

The way i (and many others) see it, anything that is not both open source and fully decentralized is automatically a no go. Open source for rather obvious reasons. Decentralized for less but increasingly obvious reasons (No central failure point, no central metadata collection, no central authority, no lock in).

Telegram or Discord

So yeah those are obviously shit too. Signal is the last centralized thing i use, but im starting to phase that out now too.

With all sorts of anti E2EE sentiment and right wing parties on the rise everywhere, i would rather get rid of any communication channels that are so prone to being blocked, shut down, censored, etc.

Do you happen to have an experience with using briar and can comment on it? It seems cool and using its mailbox system on a secondary old phone to get 100% uptime despite it being p2p is a nice concept. I just havent gotten around to really testing the UX when using it with multiple other people much.

Its ~12%

They are indicative of opportunism and greed, which is exactly in line with preemptively sucking up to a future dictator.

At that point, just buy a steamdeck, take out the pcb and you already have a much better sbc. Only half joking here, because 120€ really is a joke. I cant even imagine the profit margines they have on these things now.

The moment they start rolling out any closed or paid features and the immediate reaction of the community isnt forking the entire protocol, i will ditch matrix. Ive become very trigger happy with this stuff.

2025 is the year of the linux desktop.

Im pretty sure matrix.org data has been and will be sharing data with law enforcement. Even if you use encryption, they collect loads of metadata. With smaller servers it depends on local jurisdiction i guess.

Its sad that nerds have to fix the internet to make it usable again but im glad i could help :)

That is indeed odd yeah, but you can still worship the idea of guillotines without being sure who let the blade fall.

I mean if you write things that would lead to the instance being shut down if they arent deleted, then yeah, that will get “suppressed”.

But i agree, some mods/admins were a bit trigger happy.
