Yes and no.

let’s say I have a website that hosts user generated content like a forum or something. Some other person just hosts a mirror of my website that is not under my control. If some user requests me to delete his data, I can do that. i cannot delete the data from the mirror site.

Nothing else is happening in the fediverse. The only difference is, that in the fediverse the license and technology is set up to encourage mirroring content.

Ieft leaning? These orgs sound more like the typical liberal right centrist orgs from america lol

I‘ve had this issue on several distros and multiple friends have the same issue. Video hardware acceleration in a browser is a mess. This is definitely not only affecting me as there is a significant amount of complaints on forums and reddit.

And there is no way that the average computer user will use arch. And as long as you gotta fiddle around with your system to get even the most basic shit running smoothly like watching a high resolution youtube video and moving around windows on your other screen at the same time linux will stay irrelevant as a desktop os. It‘s still a system for nerds and I kinda feel like that this is okay.

I loved the gulli.com forum back in the day lol.

Your first point is web browsing. Even that doesn‘t work properly on a linux desktop lol. Browser performance is abysmal because the browsers lack out of the box support for hardware acceleration. Even if you get it to work it might not work reliably and an update might break it again.

Try using a discord call and open a youtube video in 4k at the same time on a a freshly installed linux desktop. The audio will be choppy and the video will drop frames like crazy. Just moving around windows on your desktop is not nearly as smooth as it is on windows.

You just measure the time until the delivery recipe arrives. You can approximate how far away the recipient is. Now you keep doing that while changing your own location (use vpns etc.) and you can slowly get a more accurate location of the target. Now you automate that stuff and also utilize machine learning to interpret the data.

This type of attack theoretically also works with signal or telegram or whatever message service that works entirely without a phone number.

Would highly suggest you to stay away from Matrix and Element for now when it comes to using it with non techies. It‘s simply not there yet. It‘s slow, tedious to use, buggy and the ux is just bad. It‘s also not necessarily more private than the popular choices if used improperly which is imo very likely it you have your aunt use it lol.

Is there any feature of element that you need or why did you pick it? You could ideally just use Signal for group chat and group (video-) calls. Or even whatsapp.

I‘m not really a loner but I‘m also not willing to do much to be included socially if it requires me to do things that I don‘t believe in.

If your fancy night club requires me to be dressed in a certain way i have no interest of getting in. If your barbecue invitation requires me to install an app that I don‘t feel comfortable with I‘m eating potato salad at home.

No. It‘s the opposite of a new world order.

It‘s the old order doing everything to preserve its power.

Why would you use first party messaging apps? Who the hell still sends sms? Just use signal. Easy fix.

High quality plastic bodies are so good. Hard to break and easy to repair. I hate glass bodies.

What do you mean by built in?

Built in to the protocol? Built in to the application?

There is a couple of XMPP clients that implement omemo and/or otr encryption.

Matrix supports encryption on a protocol level. But it‘s relatively flawed.

Telegram ist aber in gewisser Weise auch schlechter als whatsapp.

You cannot really un-opensource software very well.

The game is mediocre and wants 15 usd for horse armor in a 70 dollar game. The game deserves to be ignored i‘m sorry

I’m currently running Mint on my Computer and Ubuntu on servers.

I don’t think this is a boomer opinion but I got called a boomer for it once so maybe it is idk:

I think online dating is shit and I don’t mean it in a “It doesn’t work for me” kinda way but I believe it’s objectively shit. In an ever faster world that demands more and more flexibility from people that also extends to dating. It introduces a certain arbitrariness to romantic and sexual relationships. We now have dating apps that you can use to scroll through potential partners like a furniture catalog. It reduces people to a commodity and I hate being confronted with that. I believe it could in combination with the realities of late stage combination harm our ability to establish deep and meaningful connections to people.

It’s literally what my mom warned me off 20 years ago and now I believe she was right.

I would be pissed too.

it’s completely besides the point but m.2 isn’t neccessarily PCI Express. m.2 is essentially just a formfactor and connector. To my knowledge there are three common bus types used in that form factor. SATA, PCI-E and also USB.

At least on my instance everything is running fast, snappy. I like the clean interface. Haven’t encountered any major bugs yet.

The only downside for me so far is that there is not a lot to see yet. The only active posts and communities are about lemmy itself. Which is understandable of course but I can’t wait to actually get to the phase where I actually get to experience real content lmao
