  • Firefox Android has a new stupid menu

    Jump

  • Wait what? Was there ever an option to open a private tab as a normal tab?? 🤔 I'd love to have that, but thought it would never get added. What version were you on before (and in which one are you now)?

  • Private videoconferencing ?

    Jump

  • Adding onto what's already on the thread, you can try look at the newer Element Call, which is an implementation of Matrix's native calls.I've been using it a bit recently, since Jitsi seems to have stopped working reliably for me (to be frank, I've not put much effort into debugging it yet). It works well, but it's still early stage, lacking some features Jitsi has. If that one works for you, I recommend you stick to it.

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready

    Jump

  • I still don't think it's there, but development hss been fast, so a lot has changed and improved in the last couple of months.

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready

    Jump

  • Not exactly. Matrix 2.0 relates to the protocol (Matrix) version, which has its major number incremented due to a bunch of, well, major changes/updates to make it much better. OIDC, sliding sync and native calls are some of the new things that comprise the 2.0 update.

    The server implementations are somewhat orthogonal to this. Synapse (the original Python server) is still the main implementation, and is Matrix 2.0 ready.

  • What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?

    Jump

  • conduwuit is a fork of the less "energic" conduit.rs software, and both are maintained by the community, not by the Element people, like Dendrite.

  • What Linux distro surprised you the most?

    Jump

  • Agree, but mad props to the Gentoo people too. Nice community and incredible wiki as well.

  • Is there such a thing as a privacy driven credit card?

    Jump

  • Yeah withdraw cash from an ATM and use it. The system sucks, but it's not trivial to change for a myriad of reasons.

  • Is there such a thing as a privacy driven credit card?

    Jump

  • There's no real way to do it. Unless you know someone who can trade you XMR<->cash and you somehow convince your employer to (break laws and) pay you in those forms, you can't avoid it. At some point, you'll have to get money on a real bank account, which requires real information to open.

  • Is there such a thing as a privacy driven credit card?

    Jump

  • As far as I know, modern cards don't just send your CC info to terminals, they do some form of a cryptographic handshake (probably a pubkey signature or similar) which gets confirmed by your bank. I believe Caveman was talking more about online shopping, where you have to enter your card number, expiration date, CVC and often your name too.

  • Is there such a thing as a privacy driven credit card?

    Jump

  • That's why I love virtual card systems like MB NET. You just generate a random virtual card for every purchase (or a recurring one for each subscription vendor, for example) and move on. Your bank still knows what you're doing, of course, but vendors can't correlate anything. Preventing your bank from knowing where you're spending your money is much harder, for very practical reasons: fraud detection. The only real way is to use a secure crypto coin like Monero, but very few places accept it and you still have to deal with volatility.

  • With all the bad stuff happening in the world like politics war racism homophobia etc. What is some good news that isI happening that we don't read or see about?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I am lucky to live in such a country and it's amazing. The state and municipality each subsidised part of the purchase, so I ended up paying 300 something euros to install 3.5 kW of panels. My electricity bills are almost non existant during summer and also cheaper during winter. To make it even better, anytime I'm not using the produced electricity, it gets sold to the grid, even if pretty cheap, rebating on my next billing cycle.

  • Yeah, exactly! I was quite amazed at how fast my French degraded after I stopped having classes.

  • I'm a native Portuguese speaker, fluent in English and can understand Spanish and French. Despite having had 3 years of French in school, I can no longer speak properly, and my writing is really bad, but I can understand pretty well. Spanish just comes to me because of the similarities with Portuguese, I never formally learned it.

  • The Best Encrypted Messengers in 2024

    Jump

  • Ah right, Molly. Have yet to tried it, but looks interesting.

    I think I'm too afraid of moving my main stuff to Molly, lest I lose something :P But the UnifiedPush and multiple mobile clients is enticing.

  • What is your favorite YouTube channels?

    Jump

  • True, it's been much more slow paced. Thought it was because the videos took much more time to make, wasn't aware he was quite active on Patreon.

  • Confused about Podman

    Jump

  • This is a good suggestion. Docker is more mature and has more resources, so it's better to learn the ins and outs of containers. After getting comfortable with it, you can move to Podman and have a much better time tackling its peculiarities regarding permissions and rootless.

    I used Docker for years and only recently decided to give Podman a try, porting my Lemmy instance to it.

  • What is your favorite YouTube channels?

    Jump

  • Oh really? Was not aware of that at all. Their recent videos about the second Punic Wars were incredible.

  • The Best Encrypted Messengers in 2024

    Jump

  • Yeah that's a bummer. Signal has multi device support but only for desktop and iPad (yeah, not Android tablets), but you always need to have a master phone device.

    It's been an issue for so long, but this is Signal, they do whatever the f they want.

  • So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

    Jump

  • How can I make using Arch Linux my personality

    That cracked me up x)

    Anyway, I'd say it's good that the OS is out of your way once set it up. Even though I don't use Arch directly, I like how comprehensive the AUR is (even though there may be repositories more packages, like nix and whatnot), think the ArchWiki (like the GentooWiki) is a very useful resource, even if you use a completely different system.
