Second point should have been evident even before embarking on the argument

Thank you. Forget to type that out when I was writing the comment.

Riddle me this - Some people’s argument against using telegram is that it is not as secure as WhatsApp(which on face value is true because WhatsApp is E2E encrypted while telegram is not E2E encrypted). Other people claim that only hackers and terrorists use telegram and that is why they don’t use telegram. My question is why are people like hackers and terrorists using telegram in the first place if it has worse security while having no upsides for these kinds of individuals.

Any user can message an admin on lemmy with any sort of recommendation.

Question is why are you so eager in wanting the username. The guy’s username is of little consequence

It is @Bungiefan_ak@lemm.ee

I only hope you don’t use this to harass the guy or something

Good on them if they don’t fall to the bait

You can find the guy’s account in this post’s thread.

That was not my point. My point was that the guy who planted the idea in the heads of the lemmy.world admins has planted the idea in the heads of the lemm.ee admins. They may or may not respond similarly as the lemmy.world admins

The guy who started this whole thing by asking lemmy.world admins to defederate with lemmy.dbzer0.com is a lemm.ee account and he has asked lemm.ee to take similar action

Infinity for reddit

I think you mean infinity for lemmy

How do you donate to the linux kernel team(for a lack of a better term). kernel.org does not have any links to donation and neither does the linux foundation

Archlinux + EndeavourOS

Lemmy Devs + Instance admin

Gnome

Voyager

Wine

Mangohud

Ublock origin

Pipewire

Both yes and no. Yes the time I used to spend browsing reddit is now spent using lemmy. But the experience is totally different in lemmy. I am a much more active part of the community here whereas I was a lurker at reddit

When people make this statement I never understand it. My mother also keeps saying that she does want to deal with anymore apps than she has. What exactly does she mean by that. The app updates are automatic and the app just exists on the menu when not used. It is not like the app needs maintenance/tweaking to run

As an android user, I don’t see why you would want to use something that restricts your secure messaging to a single platform.

Convinience

That is like the main thing apple has going for itself and people are not ready to let go of this convinience for other benefits

I understand your points about the ecological impacts of creating and buying new technological devices. But youtube is not the sole driver in making people new devices. People buying new stuff is the goal of the entire tech industry. I dont see how switching to peertube or other FOSS alternatives will lead to an reduction in ecological impact. Hardware companies will still be making new phones, laptops, etc and people will still be buying these new devices.

Dont get me wrong, i would love for FOSS alternatives to youtube becoming mainstream but the ecological impact argument does not seem to hold at least not in my eyes.

The paper was an interesting read though. Thank you. I will try to hold on to devices for longer from now on (hopefully as long as possible)

potential low tech hardware

Low tech ≠ efficient

I have an old laptop that is low tech and uses only 15 watts of power. Compared to that my laptop has a general power usage of 35 watts or more on heavy CPU intensive tasks. On face value it seems that the old machine is more power efficient but that is not the case. The amount computing power provided for that 15 watts used is very low and like 15 times lower than the computational grunt provided by the new machine which makes the new machine 5-6 times more efficient.

Yeah it does work. Me and @EssentialCoffee@midwest.social tried it out

I don’t know how private it is

This I have no idea about next l maybe the admins can illuminate us regarding privacy

Yeah i was searching and figured that out. Though it is somewhat clear that messaging is not lemmy’s forte and considering that lemmy main purpose is being a link aggregator i guess its better this way

I will take warhammer 40k gladius if you don’t mind.

Will send keys in a PM.

Does lemmy even have private messaging¿? I haven’t seen any option anywhere
