You can also set up MollySockets for notifications via unified push!

How does rmk compare with qmk?

I agree with your points. I’d much rather a decentralized solution would pop up that would be easy to onboard “normies”.

As outlined in this mastodon thread, you can see a few pain points mentioned, a solution offered, but then there’s a glitch in fluffy chat that doesn’t allow for uName/PW sign up.

Decentralized alternatives are great in theory, but in order to gain the critical mass of users needed for a successful migration, there needs to be a happy middle that results in better/easier UX. Mastodon is much more fleshed out than matrix in this regard IMO as you don’t need to deal with key mgmt, yet you still see users migrating to a less mature platform, Bluesky.

Dessalines also has a good write up on a few of the other alternatives here. https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html#abandonment-of-open-source

Matrix, however, also exposes metadata that can be used to link who is talking to who

GNUNet seems promising

The only instance of being hostile to a 3rd party developer was when they used their name (a trademark) open signal I think it was?

MollyIm has been alive and well for years. Are there other instances I’m missing?

Other than that, yes signal is definitely better than WhatsApp with the amount of data they collect.

Does deleting old accounts really do much? Once you do something online, you should assume it’s there even if you delete it.

Best you can do is adopt a more privacy conscious way to go about things and just let your old footprint go stale

I mean the FOSS community does exist

I’m also unable to pay for accubattery as I don’t have play store installed

Finally. Some apps lock dark mode behind a paywall. Should be illegal

I’m looking at you, accubattery.

Onprem has always been cheaper. Cloud compute was the most successful marketing campaign I can think of.

When did they claim to be an expert??

You could probably still get one via a shipping forwarder

I see some older mac minis on eBay for $50-75. But yeah you’d need a mac

??? 500 billion pledged privately

Posted 1 hour before yours, seen it a handful of times as well

Man this account consistently reposts hot posts from the Lemmy.world programmer_humor. Starting to get very repetitive and annoying

Sure but a 68.4 million tax break is nothing compared to the hundreds of billions pledged privately

Project Stargate is funded via private investment, the US hasn’t pledged any money

Thats the same issue with activity pub, is it not?

I’ve been meaning to try https://github.com/kd2org/karadav out, lightweight server that supports nextcloud applications. Has anyone else tried it out?

That’s odd behavior, haven’t seen that before myself. I had to try a few times, the command that finally got it to sync for me was as follows:

rclone sync ./borg crypt:/borg/ --verbose --retries=10 --low-level-retries=20 --drive-chunk-size=32M --protondrive-2fa 123456

then I followed up with a --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true to fix the remaining errors.

YMMV. Hope you’re able to get it working!
