[Serious] What's your hot take?
  • Matrix is definitely closer to Discord / a platform built for communities.

    SimpleX is not P2P, as I understand it messages are forwarded through a random(?, at least varying) number of servers, so no server knows the sender and recipient. The main issue it attempts to solve is a complete lack of a persistent identifier. Your "account" does not have a single address you can be messaged on (you can create ephemeral ones). You can create a new identity for each person you message, meaning you don't have to trust the people you're messaging to keep your messaging account's 'identity' secure.

    I also really like how easy it is to route through proxies (esp on Android)

  • [Serious] What's your hot take?
  • Dino on Linux and Conversations for Android are both amazing clients imo, but the rest I've tried are SEVERELY lacking. Especially on iOS.

    I personally think the future from a technological perspective is SimpleX Chat. Fixes so many issues that plague other private IMs, however I'm waiting to switch until I see that their venture capital strategy is actually sustainable and won't enshittify it.

  • I think its redundant and an incredibly bad idea to have my email, vpn, calendar, and cloud provider host my passwords. If I wanted a cloud based password manager, I'd use a standalone tool like Bitwarden. (imo, I realistically think protons implementation in probably just as secure for the average user.)

    Either way, I think a password database is too important to store in the cloud, so I use KeePass.

  • [Serious] What's your hot take?
  • Figure skating is a perfect example of a performance sport, there isnt any physicality. Also, I think its absolutely ridiculous to claim that Jackie Mitchell striking out an aging Ruth and Gherig in an exhibition match is a woman 'starting to win'.

  • [Serious] What's your hot take?
  • I think you mean sports without a physical activity aspect; and even then, sports like chess don't separate males and females (they offer female-only competitions).

    There’s no other point to segregating sports by gender, just straight white cis dudes getting bent out of shape by any challenge to their supposed superiority.

    What are you on about? There are two HUGE reasons: safety and fairness:

    1. Especially in contact sports, allowing women to play with men is not safe, and would only lead to an environment conducive to women getting injured.

    2. There would be zero professional female athletes (excluding sports that only require mental strategy ofc) if there were no separate leagues for women. They wouldn't perform at even close to the same level as the men, AND would be at increased risk of injury.

    I don't know what fantasy world you live in, but here are biological factors that make it necessary to separate men and women in order to have fair competition. Female athletes would be infinitely worse off if forced to try to compete in a single league shared with men, because they aren't be able to.

  • A new proton product that isn't useless? ahem PASS

    I like this, and I REALLY hope Proton ignores the fact that a web browser came first in their community poll for their next service / product. That result shocked me, I couldn't think of a worse (specifically, more redundant) application for them to release / develop.

  • Linux Inventor Says He Doesn’t Believe in Crypto
  • Yes. I suppose it would also have a sort of utility if it was mass adopted and therefore practically spendable for the average person, but I would argue that there is no inherent utility to Bitcoin.

  • Tox.chat security
  • Worth mentioning that I could not for the life of me get Jami to work in any way the last time I tried it; I've seen many guides and overviews, but couldn't find a single one where it's actually successfully used. Cool idea, though

  • Loving The New "Future Oak"

    Wouldn't let me add an image, but loving the new model so far. Would look stunning in metal, and as much as I love the Casioak... I may prefer this.

    AMOLED Dark Mode?

    Hello! As a former iOS user and Apollo user, this web app is great! My only complain is the lack of an AMOLED true black dark mode option, so I thought I would post a suggestion.

    Favorite Minimal Applications to Integrate with SwayWM?

    Hello all, I love finding applications that feel minimal and do their job well, i.e. zathura, qview, etc.

    Do any of you have applications you feel fit with your swaywm experience well?

    First post on /c/gshock

    www.g-central.com G-Shock DW-6900SP-1 & DW-6900SP-7 for 25th Anniversary

    Along with the metal-covered GM-6900 series, G-Shock is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the DW-6900 with two more special editions in February:

    G-Shock DW-6900SP-1 & DW-6900SP-7 for 25th Anniversary

    Hey, excited to see a gshock community was created on lemmy! I figured I'd post asking your opinions on this G I ordered, the DW6900SP-1 (black one). It'll be my first non-square G!
