Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based disscussion.

Obviously. It's linked to Instagram, so it's gonna be a another playground for "influencers" to milk their fans.

What are your thoughts on password managers?

They are mandatory in current digital age.

Do you use one?

Yes. Bitwarden.

Would you recommend it to others?

Already do and most are receptive to it once you show them that every single one of them were caught up in a breach at some point.

It really depends on the instance and their own rules. Some might allow it, while others wouldn't. It would definetely need to be aggressively moderated to avoid promoting any illegal sales, etc.

Only admins of the various instances can really clarify this.

Talking about and actively promoting it are 2 different things. Also not everything sold there is illegal.

The new version also reduces its reliance on websockete

From my understaind it's not a reduction, but a complete replacement.

I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes.

„We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?“ - Richard Dawkins, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder

Signal is great for one on one conversations or small groups. Matrix is better served for communities as federation offers censorship resitance, but they collect some metadata that Signal doesn't. They do have encrypted DMs, but it's less user friendly than Signal and if your partner is not tech savvy, I would go with Signal.

Signal has 2 points of concern:

  • Phone number requirement
  • Centralized server (one point of failure)

I use both for different groups of people. E.g. My Matrix account is publically listed on my Lemmy account, but my Signal one is only given to people I trust to some level.

Boost for Reddit wasn't, so I would expect the same here.

Hard to tell, it's all about luck at this point. Latest news are

"Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area," the U.S. Coast Guard tweeted early Wednesday morning. "As a result, ROV operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises. Those ROV searches have yielded negative results but continue."

The data from the P-3 has been shared with U.S. Navy experts for further analysis, the Coast Guard added.

Local means it only shows posts that originate from the instance your account is created on. In your case it would be lemmy.world.
