I think because simpleX is more open source, self-hosted, and maybe slightly more anonymous. Not sure how the usability trades off for that if at all because I haven’t used it (I mainly use signal and discord)

It also doesn’t seem to be a mass migration by any means, just that simpleX is a bit better if you are super hardcore about your privacy.

As an outsider to a lot of such corporate things it sounds like they both suck a lot, just in different ways.

Gotta say, it was quite a good video. I think I watched either most of all of it over the course of a few days to a week a while ago.

Exactly. When discord updated their mobile UI everyone immediately hated it cuz different. There were legitimately some poor decisions made, but then they went and reverted like half of it after people had started to get used to it. For example, I got used to and liked where they moved dms to and they reverted it back, but kept having to tap on the name of a channel to view the users in it instead of just swiping left.

Edit: and I’m also now used to the bad things they kept.

yes

Well yea, the solution is buying that hardware. Which should be pretty damn easy.

I’m pretty sure the compression is amplitude compression, just making it quieter not data compression. All the audio information will remain, just volume changed

Android does not mean Google necessarily.

Oh nice then! Will update my comment

I personally use DarkReader, it’s not foss afaik but works well and is decent about userdata from what I’ve seen. There are likely better options out there tho that I just haven’t found

Turns out it actually is FOSS and it’s pretty good!

Depends on the university but for mine in particular discord is the primary communication method for clubs, and also friends to a certain extent. I think discord is decent for privacy but I don’t fully know, what I do is have my publicly visible profile be pretty anonymous and not tied to me.really at all, but then you can make server-specific profile names with your real name.

I’ll admit I’m not the most privacy-oriented person, I try for a somewhat decent level of privacy (using Firefox+unlock, bitwarden, signal for family chat, a few other things) but also do have Snapchat for instance, which is one of the worse things I do. This does remind me tho that I should try and convince my roommates to use signal instead of SMS because they have iPhones and I’m android so it’s kinda awful for anything but text

You’re mostly right, but his particular thing actually is safe. The water they are releasing is very very slightly more radioactive than normal water, but it’s so diluted it is harmless. As said by another commenter, if you only drank the water they are releasing you would have the equivalent extra radiation exposure as a flight across the US, or an x-ray or 2. And they are releasing it slowly into the entire ocean, it legitimately will be safe.

As far as I know there is no way to make it exactly the same as chrome, but honestly I think the ways you can do it in Firefox are better, here are some tips:

• you can hover over the tabs and scroll to shift left and right, or click the little arros on either side. It will still always show you what each tab is, and still access all of them.

• the tree-style-tabs extension, it’s fairly hard to get into the habit of using and is a big change (I’m still getting used to it myself), but it can make organizing giant tab messes easier. It can be used similarly to tab groups in chrome where you can minimize child tabs

There are some other tab management extensions out there too that you can look further into if you want as well. Hope this helps!

That sounds amazing. if I’m ever down there I’ll try and find that guy

I had just been searching around and messing with stuff and narrowed it down to only having problems when in a discord call and connected to my headphones with Bluetooth, but not when the same device was in wired mode. I tried a different audio channel mixer that I found for free after a quick search, and now it works! Thanks!

Yeah that’s a little what i suspected, it’s worked fine on win 10 with the exact same setup thoughm What other software did you find that worked? And was something to replace discord or just help with audio mixing?

For the CAD, that’s pretty much what I expected and definitely seems to be the overall conclusion.

Yeah i really like it. i just tried it on my laptop in normal browser, and it does behave poorly. even in voyager/wefwef on my laptop it is weird using this link but on my phone it acts like this

Edit: maybe it’s because on my phone I’m signed in to lemmy.world and it auto-fixes the link?

Just to confirm, it’s the @programminghumor link right? When I tap it it sends me to the community in the app, not opening a website. I’ll check how it behaves on my laptop too in the normal website

And Voyager is what was formerly wefwef.app, the url is the same still I think but the name has changed. It’s a PWA for mobile

It actually is clickable and works properly for me, using voyager + Firefox + android funnily enough
