@Ferk has given a more elaborate answer. As for servers shutting down. Haven’t had it happen yet. With any service you always risk servers shutting down or failing, even centralized ones like signal: so that is a bit of a nirvana fallacy.

They are local identifiers, not global ones. Each one exists only for a single pair of users so they don’t function as stable or traceable identities. “Pairwise anonymous addresses”.

Signal for people that partly care about privacy. SimpleX for true privacy enthusiasts

Based privacy enthusiast 🗿

Idk, i use logseq and it works good so why switch

Will check it out, lots of people praise it. I have a certain love for Starbound. Very different kind of game, but also on the vain of Space Exploration. So i’ll give it a go soon!

Right now playing through Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. If u need something to hit that Elder Scrolls spot then u should try it!

Logseq works good

Man a lot of recent games have been amazing. God of War 2018. The return of Kratos in a whole new setting and gameplay style.

Elden Ring as my first souls game. Being an absolute souls noob, my build was shit. Every boss defeated truly felt amazing. The journey was long and hard to become Elden Lord. The environments, enemy design, it is truly and outstanding game.

Kingdome Come Deliverance 2. Has to be one of the best RPGs. It commits to what it is, and I have probably learned more about Bohemian history from the game than in school.

Baldur’s Gate 3 as my first Baldur’s Gate game. Nothing needs to be said about this absolute master piece. Except Laezel > Karlach > Shadowheart.

The Bayonetta franchise. What an amazing over the top experience. Especially Bayo 1 has this early playstation 1-2 vibes that tickles my monkey brain.

So many more games that I wish I could erase out of my mind to experience again for the first time.

The Signal crowd gets butthurt pretty quick lol. Have been downvoted before for prefering SimpleX over signal and trying to explain that its better in terms of privacy. They really are simps ahhahaha

Why technical users? U just download and use it

People like to forget that signal uses amazon servers lmao, yet they praise it for its privacy🙄

I use it, and its pretty decent. Looks good and works.

Pros: -No user ID needed. -Can self host the server that passes on your messages. -Has the option to use Flux. -Works out of the box.

Cons: -Battery drain is a thing. Either toggle the periodic check, or turn it off and open it yourself to check messages. -Using one account accross multiple devices can be a pain. Since u can’t keep using your phone account at the same time as it is connected to your pc. Can be circumvented by having mutiple accounts in the same group chat; but yea it’s a pain the ass.

Neutral: -Convincing people to use it hahahh. But this is a universal probem vs mainstream messenger apps.

Final verdict: 4/5. Very good if privacy and anonymity is your number 1 priority. It’s less of hassle to set up than some other options, and relatively easy to get people into it. Sent invite, they download the app, make profile and are good to go.

Batterydrain and same use account across multiple devices could and should be better for mainstream adoption. On the other hand if u toggle the periodic checks then I find the drain tolerable. And how many of us are in places that don’t have a wallsocket available to charge your phone :p

Hmmm hope you find it

Probably firewall, do you use eset or something?

Social media and YouTube has skewed gym gains expectations. You are doing great! Good workout and good diet. Maybe rest a bit more like some others lemmings have said.

When u see somebody that really looks fit they probably have been training consistently for 3+ years. Youtube and social media with their 90 days transformations is bullshit. Keep grinding brother!

Most of the time I have the opposite. I dread going out, and hope that the plans get canceled. But when I’m there I really do enjoy it, and I’m glad I didn’t pussy out.

Smart phones already do, but yeah camera on your face is even worse

Thx for the recommendation, will check it out. My taste is just very vanilla front page top 10 and shounens. So something like this once in a while is great.

Binged the summer that hikaru died. Really liking the eerie vibe and mystery.

So any recommendations that are like this are welcome!

Gotta love how devs and engineers are supposed to be on the front lines of innovation and progression. But most of the it’s just moaning and calling the next gen dumb. 15 years ago the current devs would be called dumb for using Frameworks amd how it’s cheating since it’s not self written. Do your part and educate and guide the next gen instead of complaining about tech evolving and being used.
