It’s simpler to type a quick a text without needing a subject line. Also internet messaging is usually more secure because even though email now usually uses TLS it stored on your email providers server without encryption. Using apps like Signal this is not the case (texting still is unencrypted or proprietary though).

What does that face mean?

I mostly use Discord for a few group chats, unixporn (please post more of it to Lemmy :3 !unixporn@lemmy.world) and some BG3 stuff. If the group chats moved to Matrix+Jitsi or even some form of Signal (that is still foss and does not require a phone number, self-hosted if possible) I would barely use Discord.

Edit because somehow I missed the most relevant part: I already barely get memes or trolls so not too many changes there.

I pretty much only use Lemmy but also contact friends and share photos on a Nextcloud instance one of them kindly provided (I assume it isn’t federated though?).

I would really like to start using matrix but unless I host my own instance and get everything ready I’ll never be able to convince my friends to switch, though some of them are slowly getting fed up with discord too.

I’ve not yet heard any claims on or outside Lemmy that it is a Reddit clone. The model of hosting forums/communities was never unique to Reddit as far as I know.

I’m curious what you’re willing to generally apply to “Hexbear folks” (I don’t think I’ve talked to many).

And Lemmy is totally an echo chamber most of the time (based on my experience, obviously mileage may vary) but it wasn’t intended to be that way unlike almost every commercial social media platform. I would assume this distinction is why people would be less likely to be willing to admit it.

They’ve caused a lot of damage though restricting access would likely help with that. (Things like this usually get quite a few downvotes in my experience tbh so maybe it goes both ways)

My pretty spontaneous solution compromise would be to legalize more things but keep them well regulated to avoid addiction and transition to similar regulations for already legal drugs. This seems like a solution that more people would be happy with. Obviously there would need to be help for people already addicted at least for drugs with similar withdrawal symptoms as alcohol.

I have an i3 and a hyprland installation.

I like tiling wms but Wayland still has some annoying issues so I like having the more stable i3 installation on my main computer.

I find the way of expressing it a little excessive but completely understand the sentiment and based on some recent irl experiences I completely understand such an outburst.

Both

I have prepended an almost every time I’ve said seriously that sort of thing to someone.

I had the exact same experience lol.

I started using thunder when I got my current phone, which I do prefer but I liked Jerboa too.

My phones (stock Google android and GrapheneOS) both had settings for do not disturb mode where media playback can be disabled. I assume that’s causing the issue but for me it was not default.

If it works don’t fix it. Only issue might be extra dust but it sounds like there’s no solving that issue in your computer.

It’s meant to be right behind/in the big rectangular hole. It should have some screw holes on the side where it connects to the outlet (likely also has a power switch) that match up with the ones in the case. It looks like there’s an optical drive in the way though. If you like I can try my best to circle them for you.

I’d love (hate) to see the computer with the side panel open.

You could make one and then post it to both communities.

I thought we were lemmings 😥

I get them on desktop before my phone gives me a notification lol.

For that kind of thing I use jitsi, works great and I have access to a sort of private instance that I use occasionally. Works for just voice too but it can be a little unreliable (the last two times I had a weird issue where the others suddenly couldn’t hear me and vice versa but reloading fixed it) so something else might be better for that…

I use a Wayland version of rofi when I use hyprland though wofi probably works fine too (which I believe is default as per the config).
