Accidentally clicked the update thingy on the work laptop so now I have the MacOS version everyone hates.
In dark mode it's not as bad but it's weird how certain OS ui features feel very sluggish.
Didn't like MacOS before, this update did not improve that impression.

Techie question..

I'm currently on and have been for a couple of years. I see people talk about . Could some one give me a quick rundown of how they compare.

boosts appreciated

I'm interested in comparinsons relating to:
app and platform support
self hosting support
ability to pay someone for hosting
encryption level
general usability for "non techie" family and friends
community/political drama
comunication types supported (text/voip/sending files, and so on)

@tapafon @ariadne The whole "Metadata" discussion is for the most part FUD by Signal fans.

  • OFC this doesn't mean I deny the problem.

    • But if you are concerned about said issue then you'd already only communicate with you own private self-hosted servers that are only reachable with a VPN over Tor.

The truth is that as of now there are no good options out there, unless you consider sending -encypted messages to a self-hosted, hidden ntfy.sh server to each other.

  • I'd love to be wrong on that one, but so far + & /MIME (both over ) is the best practical option if you don't expect people to become unlicensed radio amateurs and illegally moonbounce their encrypted messages with WSJ…

I really wish had a way to directly message accounts from within PeerTube. As an admin, it's kind of ridiculous to have to manually look up someone's account and email them, instead of having that functionality built-in to the system.

Like, if somebody reports something, I should be able to reach out to the person the report is filed against, no? But, it doesn't exist as a consideration in the moderation UI.

    Was very confused why my cloned drive was not being mounted I found out that UUID are stored as part of the file system and when you clone a drive you also clone the ID of the partitions, this creates a fun situation where you have 2 partitions with identical unique identifiers.
