"Stopped thinking" Checks out

I think many media saw "Covid 2" in it and gave it extremely overblown coverage compared to the actual risks involved

Source: Strawberry Panic It's been a long time since I saw this one, probably my first yuri

Not so much on board space

Samsung and some other phone manufacturers have deals with Google to access code before public release

It's scary how that annotation changes the reading voice in my head

No they mean their screwmates

The person who put that on this domain deserves at least a high five

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction

You might be an astrophotographer and not know it

GUAAAAAAAAAARD

I'm so happy for you ! I see the me of 2 years ago in you (even in the name in the Nextcloud instance) :) It took some time for me, but now I'm out to everyone in my life, and I'm starting HRT today ! I hope everything goes well with your friends and that they'll support you. You can do it, girl ! ❤️

This is puny code, and allows for non ascii characters to be used as a domain name. Your lemmy client probably does not convert it to unicode and displays it as a random looking text https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode

Even among humans this varies, I remember that in some countries shaking your head horizontally means yes and vertically means no. This means it is a cultural behaviour in humans, but an innate behavior in dogs. I don't think it makes sense comparing those two behaviors.

And any poll that doesn't require it is easily manipulated

This is so true it hurts

What SimpleX, Signal, or any app like this need first and foremost is traction, as new users generate more new users. One of Signal's goals is usability (usually achieved by being simple, as in no complexity for the end user). In my opinion SimpleX lacks that. This is the same reason Signal needs a phone number: populating your contact list with users already on the platform

If you have never touched a linux command line and played with a Linux server, self-hosting your email server will be too complex and you should start there (by getting a cheap VPS for example).

But if you have a server, a domain name, and some knowledge about self-hosting, there are some easy and FOSS "all in one" solutions like mailcow (https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-docs/) that bundles all the required software in docker and gives you an admin panel to create mailboxes. It also tells you what DNS records to create and checks if you've done it right.

It's not as hard to manage an email server as many say, just make regular backups to restore if you do break the setup, and don't worry too much about downtime, generally other servers will keep retrying to send you your emails for quite some time (hours to days) before giving up.

IIRC that's a very old name of the Signal communication protocol
