So piracy is legal now. We can use piracy data to train our brain models. No one can say it’s not innovative nor transformative.

It’s way better at driving cars.

We are advancing humanity!

Was the Ventoy binary blob issue resolved and it’s cool again?

What I dislike about XMPP is that the client ecosystem is definitely weaker than DeltaChat. DeltaChat “just works”, and it works incredibly similar and efficient across devices.

But yes, I wouldn’t mind if the world used XMPP instead, honestly.

EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won’t be in a long while), so let’s try to mobilize people to Signal.

DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.

Because if you pay, you can have as many Proton accounts as you please.

Plasma is amazing and the thing that mostly bugs out on all my systems is SDDM by far, so this is totally the right choice.

F-droid --> izzyOnDroid --> PipePipe

That one is infuriating. Having a good client is so key to adoption… And Element is still really, really bad. Yes, it has almost all the features, but refusing multi-account is so so so annoying, and being Electron garbage is horrible. They have so much funding it’s ridiculous.

XMPP is another case where adoption has mostly failed exactly because there are no “flagship” clients that do it all.

That’s why DeltaChat looks so good. The official clients work great everywhere, and they can do it all!

I stopped watching at some point because I felt that the point of Black Mirror, which was, originally, in my opinion, to create a debate and make you think and reflect on how technology can change everything… Turned into typical, empty scifi dramas.

Check out Luanti. It used to be called Minetest. It’s a libre version of the same thing.

Previous season was so bad we didn’t even finished it. Just watch seasons 1-3 and leave it at that.

Tutanota is also german, if I am not mistaken.

If you want a compatible, interoperable email service, then Mailbox. Tutanota is a propietary, centralised email system.

No one will shed a single tear for you, greedy bastards.

Did you guys know Firefox is still libre software? 😱 Like, all data usage is verifiable 🤯, and you can easily configure it so it doesn’t call home… Right? 🥵

Every couple of months there is an alarmist trend to kill Firefox, and then it turns out Firefox stays as the big libre option that respects your privacy and fights for freedom.

I am not saying they will never fail. But they haven’t so far. And that’s what matters.

dot one

Website changed, but it is still out there.

Edit: syntax

Okay, yeah, that is definitely concerning.

There are no ads on my Kindle.

After the feature of being able to send EPUB files to Kindle through email and them being automatically converted… I have not felt I was missing anything by using standard Kindle software.

So I’d suggest, unless you really really need some obscure feature, Calibre+Kindle is nowadays perfectly fine, and maybe you shouldn’t risk bricking your device.
