Yuck. Even if I ignored economy, Trump and everything political, US food is pure shit compared to European food.

Finally, I've been waiting for this.

Well, just fuck them. If you want more incentive, just look at how many lives they destroyed in the chase of money. They're one of the most disgusting companies in the world.

If someone deserves having all their games pirated, it's definitely Nintendo.

That guy is great. But nothing beats his JS developer interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo3cL4nrGOk

Android is not Linux, it only uses (modified) Linux kernel. Android experience is not transferable to any other Linux distro. While Steam Deck's is. You're not saying your smart bulb runs Linux just because it uses its kernel.

Well, we got Steam Deck on that front, so at least there's something. Not a desktop, but a regular consumer device with Linux is still nice.

Not even close. Most hardware issues I had were with Windows. Additionally, that thing gets slow over time, no matter what you do. If you use it often, it'll get to an unusable state in a year or two. And you can't do anything about it except fresh reinstall. It spies on you so much even Google could learn from them. And nowadays it even has ads. You pay for the OS and then you still have ads, classy. And as a bonus, all the spying and ads are so unoptimised that they make your computer slower.

Anyone who uses Finder as a file manager is a masochist. That's the worst file manager I've ever used. And that includes shitty Android file manager which have more ads than file managing capabilities.

Well, that sounds like issues with your specific hardware, because that's definitely not the usual Linux experience.

Tip for next time: find some distro that has up to date kernel. Ubuntu, Mint and Debian are definitely not good if you have very recent hardware, they stay on old kernels for quite a long time. And drivers are in the kernel.

I have to disagree about Windows being easier, but that's fairly subjective. What's 100% objective is that it's definitely not the reason everyone uses Windows, the reason is much simpler: it came with their machine.

Anyway, I recommend Nobara for gaming - it's basically Fedora, but preconfigured for gaming and general normal use.

Oh yeah, Windows storage driver issues are great if you need to kill time. Nothing better than your Windows installer claiming there's no disk. Great in combination with missing touchpad drivers. But hey, at least I found out it can indeed be installed without a working mouse and that includes installing the storage driver!

I said better, not more secure. It's not as easy to accidentally leak the message. It's equally easy to intentionally leak it.

That's a pretty common pattern nowadays.

I mean, have you ever read anything about any dictatorship?

But if you officially operate somewhere, they can sue you, I thought that was common knowledge?

Anyway, not complying with local laws and operating in the country can get you in some serious trouble. And the trouble will escalate until you comply or pull out of the country.

Kim Jong Un can sue anyone. Like, they can sue Signal if they want. Sure, they have no way to enforce it, but they can sue (and win the case). It's not like this would be a first, that happened quite a few times. Especially in dictatorship.

When two people kiss, they form a long tube from one anus to another.

There is a reason: you will be sued out of existence. And the bit about North Korea made me laugh, so thanks.

Yep. Sadly, Lemmy will move on to implement this exact horrible mess in future versions.

The current ChatMessage approach is much better than crazy shenanigans with to/cc/mentions.

I shared a bit about exactly this here: https://lemmyverse.link/lemmings.world/comment/14476151

Using Laravel as a framework should be the first red flag, I yet have to meet a Laravel dev who understands architecture (and I interviewed quite a bit of them). That framework is several anti-patterns bundled into a nice package.

I actually like how Lemmy handles it, it warns you that it's unencrypted and that it recommends Matrix

It also uses an entirely separate AP type that's not used for anything else (ChatMessage) unlike Mastodon which uses Note, which is also used for: Mastodon posts and comments, Lemmy comments, most likely others.

ChatMessage type also has strict requirements about recipients, the chances to leak them are slimmer. Additionally, if the target app does not support the type, it's very unlikely it will handle it at all, but Note will most likely be handled in some way.

In conclusion, Lemmy PMs are very hard to leak accidentally (still very easy to leak intentionally).

Sadly, Lemmy will be moving to Mastodon-style PMs.
