Honestly, I get why one would be discouraged by signal, but as long as your threat model is not “NSA and mossad have a price on my head”, I think it is still the best non-federated alternative. I’d rather take a flawed messenger with well regarded encryption than a beta version that nobody with time and crypto knowledge ever looked at.

modern

But i also feel like xmpp got feature creeped. Not to long ago, basically every messenger spoke its own subset of xmpp, basically.

I wonder why you got banned, certainly it can’t be your positive attitude

1. This is not “Lemmy”, this is Lemmy.world, which is as mainstream as is possible for Lemmy. Crying that all of Lemmy is like this smells like you never read past the headlines for the fediverse. You can say whatever you want on Lemmy, just don’t force someone else to either host you or listen to you.

2. Various instances always had various levels of moderation and unacceptable content. If you don’t like the policy, switch instances.

Yeah this is kind of the opposite

I am not sure if the bandwidth is really limited by the controller, or by the modulation / signal-to-noise ratios in practical scenarios.

I am not entirely sure what kind of radio fuckery happens, but my phone (Oneplus 6 with LineageOS) can be connected to a 5 Ghz wifi network and have a 5 GHz hotspot open at the same time.

I am assuming the wifi chip has two (or more) somewhat independent frontends, since my home wifi and the phone hotspot are on two different 5 GHz frequencies.

Of course it does(*).

(*): assuming you mean “works” in the sense of “turns on, lets me use it just fine, does everything that does not require an active cell connection”

Kind of the same here. I can go without cleaning, I just don’t like it and my mood tanks.

My phone does that just fine. It’s a Samsung limitation. All it does is create an access point and forward traffic via its default route.

(Obvious joke about Germans)

Not really, I was really weird about showering for a while, I have kind of accepted that I need to be somewhat clean to have a proper, productive, happy day. Although I believe that being used to it plays a huge role.

Yeah, paint is pretty damn expensive. Especially outdoor house paint that is neither a pain in the ass to apply nor will flake off in 3 years

As an engineer, Home Assistant (purely local smart home hub) is fucking awesome and only gets better.

Reading this makes me realize how many people had really fucked up childhoods. I feel sorry for all of you, don’t give up hope for humanity, and choose (if you can) how to live your own life. There are better people out there.

No, the correct response is to tell that person to go fuck themselves. That is the worst kind of manipulation. I feel bad for you, using your brother’s tendencies against you is a ridiculous level of evil in my opinion. It depends on your brother and your relationship with him, of course. But I would be willing to bet that she does not go through with it.

Besides, that is a very un-nuanced threat: what would happen if you called biweekly? Would she half-kill herself? What if you made it every month?

I feel less old, thank you all :)

Some Acer laptop I got handed down, 300 MHz Celeron with 64 MB / 4 GB. Looking back, I can blame a lot of how I ended up on that PoS. I have fond memories of playing around with Win 9x and DOS on that thing, clumsily trying to keep it from breaking apart and my parents from taking it away.

The first computer I actually fully bought for myself was a shitty MSI “gaming” laptop with a first-gen i5. That proves that I learned nothing. It would overheat like crazy, the hinges broke after 2 years, had a custom Ati-Intel dual GPU setup that would not play nice with Linux… ah, memories…

Next one after that was a used Elitebook 2540, because I was done with shitty hinges.

If you want a stable future, I guess you would not pick that lifestyle. And if you worked for 5-6 years, taking a year off for personal reasons is not too unheard of. That is long enough to be trained, work productively and hand over your tasks to the next guy. Also, you could always make something up like “I had to help family members” or “I built a house/family member’s house” or whatever.

1. “Seemingly unprovoked” does not mean unprovoked, but perceived as unprovoked

2. The post asked for how Jewish opinions, this reply tries to sum up what they hear. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Of course you can (and should, inho) disagree with the general opinion, fuck, they’ve been reelecting that absolute moron for how long?

The funny thing is, half of Telegram is drugs, conspiracy nuts and really weird humour. The ai is going to be great, I can already see it.
