I must have seen a dozen posts ripping into Bazzite for "cloud native". This is a dumb decision that they need to run away from.

Not sure if you realize how long ago that was. Meta was not a thing. IG was barely a thing. They were a shadow of the monolith they've become.

Its easy to say in hindsight.

Without them, you don’t find out about parties, trips, events, etc.

Ding ding

You are arguing that driving an EV on long road trips is untenable because of the charging stops

lol. I did no such thing. You imagined that. I said it's untenable without sufficient vehicle range.

And even if I didn't, you can't just exchange time at the gas pump for time at a charging station. That's not the way time works...

Get a fucking clue bra

I don't understand what that has to do with anything?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

As I said before, that's a PHEV. It's probably insufficient because the engine serves as a heater for those kinds of situations. I've driven an EV with a resistive heater (Bolt) in 14 degree weather and it was more than sufficient.

Where did he say he was being censored?

Well...soon there will be no fact-checkers. How will they take down critical content then?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 16 hours ago

I don't speak for the world, facts do. You are not a "silent majority". You are an extreme minority.

SimpleX gets a lot of things right. In particular:

  • no public identifiers
  • ability to chat anonymously
  • not dependent on centralized servers
  • multiple user profiles

My main concern for them is that they are backed by several investors (some VCs) with no concrete public plan as to how to pay them back.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 17 hours ago

Of course they will. They only company that has actually ever refused, to my knowledge, is lavabit, and that's because they shut down their operations entirely when the gov demanded encryption keys due to Snowden.

The fact that such an enormous portion of users and groups are on the matrix.org server is a huge problem.

These are 2 distinctly different groups of people.
