matricaria··on Wired headphone sales are exploding
There is no way I’m going back to wired headphones. I always hated them. Cables lasted a few years at best leaving the headphones unrepairable. And when using them while moving I could only here my own steps. Plain awful.
matricaria··on TikTok will not introduce end-to-end encryption, saying it makes users less safe
Since when is E2EE controversial? Not using E2EE should be controversial.

matricaria··on Veloren – Voxel action-adventure role-playing

I honestly think the person that is to blame here is you. Yes, there might be some weird decisions here, but if you get so mad about those minor changes, you should make at least some research before updating.

matricaria··on Okay, I Like WezTerm
I love Ghostty. On my old MacBook, it was by far the fastest terminal emulator (yes, I tried all of them, also WezTerm and Alacritty). Now on my new Mac it is still the most beautiful terminal emulator.

Ghostty will be open source once it is stable enough.

I think they solved most of those problems already and are easily self hosted.

matricaria··on Blue-Recorder, a Simple Screen Recorder Written in Rust
What are the benefits of „Written in Rust“ here? As far as I understand this is basically a GUI for FFMPEG, which is written in C. Is it just marketing?
