I always liked the concept of Matrix, and still actively use it, but there’s some serious jank.
I use Element as well as Beeper, which is at its core an Element client based on network bridging. I’m a big fan of Matrix, but it isn’t as approachable as other messaging services and requires some technical know-how to use effectively.
It seems like the Linux of messaging services.

Sounds like a loophole to me!
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 2 days ago:
They tried to claim they weren’t responsible for the Ai.
Why wouldn’t they be? They made the decision to use (and continue using) AI.
If someone gets drunk, they can’t turn around and say “it was the alcohol’s fault, not mine.”
My first question is rhetorical. I know the answer is: corporations, lobbying, and money.

I minimize air travel to the extent possible. Unfortunately I have non-local family so unless I choose to just not see them my choices are a bit limited.
But yeah, I don’t fly for tourism or leisure.

And saying but the algo / AI did it
Sure, the algo did it. But someone chose to use it and continue using it.

I don’t think you’d be licking much of anything after that. It’s the one at 10 seconds in the clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YNsIaSbFdg

Titanium (Ti) is a happy shade of green.
And I would certainly hope so. You can buy eating utensils made from titanium.

To my understanding, organic compounds are where the real danger is with mercury.

In Spanish, they talk about hunger and thirst as if they are physical objects.

- Comment on Evading suffering is _itself_ a form of suffering 5 days ago:
This could probably be thought of as “fear and anxiety are forms of suffering.” Though it might be a bit more nuanced than that.

- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 5 days ago:
I thought this has already been done. Guess there’s some nuance to it that is above my understanding of it.
Anyhow, advancements in solar are cool in my book.

Nobody defends factory farms they’re universally hated
But not enough for people to boycott, other than a single-digit % of the population.

- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
If everyone got together and did the individual action, it would become significant.
But getting a big percentage of the population to come together and do something is the challenge.

There is not one thing that is the problem. It’s a bunch of big problems adding up into a colossal one.

Oh boy, have I got some news for you

Gamepass is a super-obvious telegraphed trap for enshittification. Offer a good value (it is, for the time being), get people dependent on it, then pull the rug out.
How many times have we already seen this?

Yeah, it’s really begging for some semblance of financial stability. The job is just a means to that end, and more realistic than hoping for a winning lottery ticket.
