Stop. You want to discuss real life implications, do it somewhere else. I already told you, read the rules. "No politics" is pretty much the only thing we're asking for beyond the basics. End of discussion.

Or it can be a Star Wars joke. Don't take things too seriously, and keep real-life politics out. Check the rules.

I mean, shows how these people think. You should pay for everything, even the natural stuff like identity.

Of course, if people are willing to pay, well...

It's made by the same people that make the Lemmy system, isn't it?

Liftoff is the one farthest in development. Jerboa is the most "official" one. You have to wait a few months for the others to mature.

Something inbetween. Humans might not get extinct, but you and everyone you know (or the next few generations) either will, or will revert to mediaeval way of life at best. Lack of drinking water is no joke.

Same for the rest of the ecosystem. Not everything will die out, even more than just cockroaches will remain. But a lot of wildlife will keep getting destroyed.

Personally I'm expecting a dystopia like we see in cyberpunk stories.

I don't feel like I'm lacking either all that much. If anything, having too much is an impediment in life. Less intelligent people don't need to worry so much, and sociopaths don't have a care in the world.

I'm not here to do Signal's marketing for them, especially since I never liked it in the first place (due to the phone number thing). They had a good thing going for being an acceptable alternative, and they fucked it up. Definitely not my problem.

Yea it just prevents one from searching what's going on, because web results are filled with this.

Guess nobody told youtu.be or the million of services on .to or .it...

At first I read that as "just coke, please". And somehow it made sense to me.

Strawman, one of those big words people use when they can't make a decent argument.

Would it be that difficult to have two versions of the app then? One without sms for the more security conscious and easily distracted people, and one with sms, that I could install on any grandma's phone?

Difficulty of implementation was never an argument, only ideological ones, with which Signal fucked over so many people. Literally all of my Signal contacts have gone offline soon after they axed the sms support, and so I have no use for Signal at all.

So, mission accomplished I guess. Secure messaging has won- oh wait, everyone is back on WhatsApp.

By that logic tho, you can also accidentally open a different app and send an sms, because on Android all the apps need to look and behave basically exactly the same for some reason.

Maybe, but if I want to privately talk to randos from the internet, then using my phone number like with Signal is a no-go from the start. Threema is paid and only partially open source.

Session is fully decentralised and while you can think of crypto whatever, at least it gives people the incentive to run nodes, unlike Tor where the incentives are all over the place, or centralised messengers which are fully reliant on one entity.

Very small handhelds are more commonly used for simple games like for the Game Boy you pick up for a few minutes. They also tend to have nicer, pleasant build quality which partially make up for the cramped controls.

The 2DS isn't even small, only the screen is. And it's just kinda crappy and made for a child to toss around.

It's still a 3DS on the inside so if you really want it, you'll get the same thing in terms of features. But you asked for opinions, so...

I mean like it's actually designed with toddlers in mind regarding size, build and such. It's just not very pleasant for gaming.

Not a fan of giving my phone number to federate to every server.

Session is like Signal but decentralised (like Tor, not like Fedi) and without the phone no requirement. That sounds better to me.

Makes sense, thanks.

I've been wondering why everyone has a domain on their instance, even if it's a single-user personal thingy.
