Another chromium fork, no thanks.

What about GNU taler?

Until TPM shenanigans take root and you're only allowed to use locked down devices to use the internet.

>WhatsApp is heavily used by Nepalis both domestically and abroad (a large portion of Nepalis work abroad in India, the Gulf, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, and Japan as migrant workers) so people are cut off from communicating with each other.

People need to start learning XMPP, cutting off of centralized services is only going to get worse.

Relatable.

Very cool art piece!

Probably the best protocol currently, it has modern features, has encryption (OMEMO), and isn't bloated like matrix is.

I see, good to see that it's getting implemented slowly at least.

> /chathistory is still a draft

Did not know that, only reason I asked was that some other server already implemented it (think it was the last 100 posts but it's been a while since then).

I'm sorry but what was expected here? They're designed to be corporate wiretap devices.

Move to alternatives then, it won't be easy but it'll be worth it.

Because the current LLM hype bubble is due to Silicon Valley wanting another SaaS service to keep the VC money flowing.

Interesting find, wasn't he selling info to Microsoft?

>irccloud

Very interesting, reminds me of the Movim client for XMPP.

Honestly it's a shame that IRC is only a thing for tech circles and that IRCv3 never took off (at least currently, libera.chat still doesn't have the /history command).

Interesting perspective but unfortunately with smartphones you'll have cellular carriers lock down their bootloaders because of bogus "security" reasons.

And of course the only thing that the US government will do is double down on surveillance even harder.

This whole debacle is going to make me buy a dumbphone, there is literally no reason to buy a modern smartphone if you can't sideload apps.

>Google

Apple too, they're the ones who normalized smartphones.

Agreed, even though I use the free tier. Ideally I'd host my own email server but that's not an option for me right now.

Oh wow I never knew that, very good to see.

The biggest problem with making a "gaming" miniPC is new games being very unotpomized, but other than that the hardware is already there, I'd wager that we'll probably see a new Steam Machine within the next 3-5 years.

As much as I like the idea of miniPCs my biggest issue is that almost everything in miniPCs are soldered down, if you could replace the RAM/CPU/Storage I'd have zero with them. But for now, I'm skeptical in that the current push for miniPCs are a clandestine way to get more technical people onboard with unrepairable devices.

>Proton

Using proton as well, but if you're stuck on the free tier you can't use any 3rd party email clients.

>YouTube

Using Google takeout for Youtube will give you a .csv of your subscriptions and playlists (just be sure to un-check getting a download of your videos). From there you can get the rss feeds and use RSSguard as a subscription viewer/media player, this site was a big help in figuring things out https://charlesthomas.dev/blog/converting-my-youtube-subscri....

>I am surprised how long reddit lasted, but I get the feeling it might not hold on to me for much longer.

Agreed, the site feels like a ghost town these days whenever I lurk there.

XMPP too, but no OMEMO encryption.

As someone who uses org-mode to take notes this seems genuinely wonderful, personally cannot stand HTML/CSS drudgery.

Surprised the SVB collapse wasn't mentioned, the LLM boom gained a huge amount of steam right after that happened.

Site doesn't even work on Pale Moon, and judging from your comment that's probably a good thing.

>Younger generations seem very isolationist to me.

Gen Z here, blame smartphones and the destruction of communal areas/3rd spaces; COVID really threw gasoline on an already bad fire.
