Does that have something to do with acetone? I heard it works well as skin care

Honestly, I get why one would be discouraged by signal, but as long as your threat model is not "NSA and mossad have a price on my head", I think it is still the best non-federated alternative. I'd rather take a flawed messenger with well regarded encryption than a beta version that nobody with time and crypto knowledge ever looked at.

But i also feel like xmpp got feature creeped. Not to long ago, basically every messenger spoke its own subset of xmpp, basically.

Yup, fast food has become quite expensive to the point that a local snack joint will have better quality and make you full for less. Still, people go to fast food places. I believe it is the comfort of the known, of not having to think about whether a place is sanitary or which of the scary middle eastern shawarma guys has good value for money and which will sell you microwaved shit. People don't like to think

Same -- at least in some contexts. Bauhaus, Commie blocks, all those were never meant to be perfect, they were meant to house as many people with basic comfort as possible. Many of the palaces of the past were made using resources that could have housed the poor.

On the other hand, fuck McD and fuck corporate soul-less-ness.

1. And?
2. If you're not torturing English villagers together with your wife during the winter, is it even a viking marriage?

Hey, at the store I have to pay for yeast supplements!

The best analogy is still E-mail. Me@Gmail.com can talk to you@outlook.com, which can talk to employee@random-company.com. Sometimes an email service shuts down - has anyone checked if yahoo still exists?

So in that case, you have to get a new mail and probably move your important stuff over. It sure sucks, but there is no good way around it, if you want to be able to choose between different services.

Imagine everyone using only gmail: what if Google decided you smell and they don't want your business any more? What if Google decided to make every login cost $5? Or that you need to say "I love Coca Cola" to read your mail?

Hey, at least that will give less trouble in MRIs. Although, I was a bit scared about all that talk about dielectric heating. I guess it did not resonate at (whatever the MRI does)?

Fair point. My last camping trip was in mid-temperature weather, and rather relaxed, so I basically lived off instant coffee and tea. Plus, the water was really clean, so in some cases I just risked filling my bottle from like the middle of a lake without treatment. But a filter is definitely on my to-buy list.
