I just love how the other person immediately knew there could be a difference between the left and the right USB port.

It is easy to cook up your own IM protocol, but for interoperability between providers (which is the whole point of using XMPP or Matrix in the first place!) we need to agree on a protocol. The way we agree on protocols is standardization. XMPP is the proper IETF internet standard for instant messaging while Matrix is effectively just another product by some startup with lots of venture capital funding for shiny clients and marketing.
Also, XMPP servers and clients are also a lot less bloated.
@BartsBigBugBag Yes, people with money have a lot of influence on elections. How do you think we should fix it? Otherwise the index looks pretty accurate to me, the most democratic countries seem to be on the top, the most authoritarian countries are on the bottom.
@BartsBigBugBag Yeah, US is pretty fucked up. Still, all the countries which rank high in the democracy index are pretty capitalist.
@Varyk Hm maybe using a private DNS works, but no way to be sure: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/
@Varyk Ad blocking on the mobile internet. I haven’t seen an ad on my smartphone for years now.
@Varyk It really is life changing :D
Btw other life changing apps if you don’t know them are NewPipe from F-Droid and Fennec+uBlockOrigin also via F-Droid. No more ads on the smartphone.

In the game I will create this afternoon, a JAB can be bought and sold for 1.25 USD, making it the more powerful currency than the US dollar.
Almost all Matrix servers seem to require at least an email address. A better option would be XMPP, as most servers only require a username and a password to register. It’s also the IETF internet standard and a lot less bloated than Matrix.
So the cost of getting a post on the front page of every Lemmy instance is the cost of registering a new domain.
Since it’s not federated like XMPP this is completely pointless when all the users are on their server.
Let’s go web standards!
USB-C wasn’t exactly Apple’s idea.
Better yet, set the XDG user directories to be want you want them to be: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_user_directories
Having been in a long distance relationship during COVID, with times where I couldn’t meet my girlfriend for 12 and 18 months, I know just how the loneliness crushed me and how much happier I am now we’re married and living together.
I only track the dotfiles which I actually write, not the generated ones. So it’s not so different from code. Desktop programs which generate intransparent config files suck. I only wish there was a good way to synchronize my Firefox using git. I know there is user.js but it all seems like a mess to me.
