Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Signal Private Messenger is free open source, works on everything. Your grandma could use this.

I have slowly migrated all of my friends and family to this over the last few years.

All of the big ‘encrypted’ messengers like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger use the Signal Protocol under the hood but insert their own shady business and tracking defeating a lot of the purpose.

There are other perhaps more anonymous options like SimpleX or XMRchat but they are not practical nor needed for most threat models.

Matrix is not quite mature enough but is a better option than discord for gaming communities.

Signal everyday. I would not recommend Telegram. DYOR.

My APAP machine has a sim card and unless I am careful to not disable airplane mode every time I start it up, it will send all of my health data to company that I have signed no agreement with.

I explicitly declined to agree to the privacy policy of the company that sold it to me.

If I find my data in a breach, lawyers will be involved.

That’s how aether works kind of.

It’s P2P/decentralised rather than federated.

Anyone can make a community. With enough participation in a community one can become a mod. Mods can be impeached by vote of active participants.

Anyone can see nod actions and anyone can decide to disable the actions of any mod.

I love the system, I was active there before moving to Lemmy. I wish it had taken off/absorbed some of the Reddit fallout rather than Lemmy.

AFAIK it is not maintained or at least updated much less frequently than Lemmy/ActivityPub.

We need a digital seed library with the crispr ready DNA of various seeds for pirates (humans that need to eat) to archive.

Mine is registered to my VoIP number. Never had any issues. No sim required.

Some PeerTube instances should allow federation over here. Just tag the appropriate Lenny community.

Hmmm, I’m hoping the HDR flag fixes HDR in Kingdom Hearts 3 on the OLED SteamDeck.

I’ll test tonight.

Nexus Mods is working on an AppImage version of their mod manager that works perfectly in my testing.

Currently it only supports Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk i think.

I’m excited for it to have parity with Windows Vortex.

It provides security to the network and gives them more power over the price.

I watched the Knights of Valor (full contact jousting troupe) perform at the Glengarry Renaissance Fair a month ago.

It was the most exciting sporting event I have ever seen. I want it normalised in arenas where the knights have sponsorships and good insurance.

You grow more love with every precious moment you share with each child.

I still mine Ergo. It’s a PoW smart contract platform (like Ethereum) but it’s UTXO like (Bitcoin or Monero).

Lots to like about the chain. I turn some of my mined ERG into SigUSD (algorithmic stablecoin) and then loan it to a lending pool. Currently make 94%APR in USD that way. Been like that for several months.

Bazzite over Nobara everyday.

ARM as host??? There is hope yet for a PineBook Qubes image!

These work perfectly on any chromium browser like Brave fyi.

Jafar in Twisted. So so good.

I would use Bazzite 100%. It’s an atomic fedora spin that aims to replicate SteamOS. It has a KDE Nvida variant, and comes preinstalled with all of the gaming software and optimizations you need out of the box. All that is required to update it is a restart.

Just switch to X11 from Wayland after first boot and you’re as good as gold. (If Wayland works fine with your card it may be a better option because I think it plays more nicely with BigPicture mode if you need that)

Use SimpleLogin and Bitwarden for everything. I never use the same email or password anywhere and can turn off receiving emails from the source for each account.
