Tried that too. Its not federated and generally just didn’t like me lol

Sorry, I don’t knowingly support crypto bros or war profiteers if I can help it. Plus if in looking for an alternative to a bad service, I’m not gonna give cadence to the platform already doing shitty stuff, just for it all to crash again once that one gains traction.

I’ve heard Matrix was involved in some crypto bullshit and military operations of some sort. I want an alternative but Matrix is just shady enough all around for me to stay the hell away.

Thank you for actually giving me an explanation instead of just calling her comics unfunny lol

The only commercial social media I use anymore (or at least post on) is Bluesky, and I’m getting weary of that, too. I’ve switched completely to open source operating systems and workflows in the past year or so. During that time I’ve also become vegan and am trying not to go to any sort of shop at night. That last one has nothing to do with the state of things at this very moment, but I don’t want to give companies more reason to force people onto late shifts when working in retail/customer service already sucks and even full time won’t get you close to a living. The last thing anyone needs is their sleep thrown off, as I know from struggling with it myself. I may not be able to stop buying things, but fuck working when you should be sleeping. Unless you’re literally an essential worker, in which case those shit shifts should be cycled between people, not consistent.

…I didn’t mean for that to become a rant lmao

Not trying to reopen a can of worms but care to fill me in on what happened?

That my strategy when I have to buy one of those dumb TVs. Just leave it ignorant of the internet

Weird considering I need my desktop to just be a tool as well, and Mint really does that for me. Just my experience tho.

That’s literally their first sentence. How are they saying billionaires are good people?

Damn that’s… Really sad lol

This Movim thing is giving me really good vibes! No AI in sight, nor crypto shit. Thanks so much for the suggestion! Why don’t I hear anyone talking about it? If you have any other smaller open source projects to suggest, please let me know lol

Please link this command line tool, I neeeeed it lol

Therapy is supposed to be, if nothing else, a relief. Yes, its important to have hard conversations and take away the right lessons to work on yourself, but how in any way is therapy a chore? Man, I wish therapy was so unnecessary in my case that being forced to take it felt like a slog to get through.

Thank you for the info. I looked at people discussing Matrix for ages here and nobody brought this up? What the hell?

Do any of these options offer screen sharing with audio? That’s literally the only thing I care about in terms of one on one chats that only Discord can do.

Hey I know this is an old comment but could you elaborate on this? I’m trying to choose between Matrix and Stoat and no matter which is better, Matrix is out of the question if it’s into crypto bullshit.

Read this as Wine 1.0 at first lol

As a Canadian, yeah, our wait times are rancid and they often get glossed over because of how bad America’s healthcare is in comparison. Don’t get me started on how Canadians will excuse any issue with the country because “at least we’re not as bad as America” and shit like that.

But damn it, I’d still take our busted healthcare system over virtually NO healthcare system. Fuck paying to live. Oh wait, that’s just capitalism.

This is the most rational take I’ve seen on the possibility of a general strike. I’ve seen the argument that people need to suck it up and just do it together, right next to the counterpoint that some people simply can’t. They, or perhaps their children or loved ones, could die, and that’s something you can’t just ASK of people (unless you’re a government, apparently). And if not enough people managed to participate in the strike then they would have died in vain. Two things can be true at the same time, though, and I think a general strike is still a good idea, there just needs to be a decently large group of people (who know what they’re doing) to give it a kickstart. I’m sure more people would join as such a movement gained publicity.

If it could be vegan cheese, then I’d go for that. I think its good on toast and pizza is great, of course. I say I hardly like it because everyone else seems to die for it in all forms. Meanwhile I rarely go out of my way to have it unless its an integral part of something, like pizza.

It’s an Ultimate 2C wired. It’s like they aren’t properly implemented wtf?
