Next to what everyone already said let me just mention I also returned recently after being out for like 10 years and the progress is amazing. If you’re willing to selfhost, Servarr is super amazing, my whole family got away from Netflix and I have a huge bullshit free library of stuff to watch.
Yeah let’s see how that’s gonna play out but tbh the reaction was just a simple deflection and as long as the product stays open source and self hostable I don’t really care what the founder says.
The Lemmy founders say some weird tankie shit all the time. I got banned from lemmy.ml for saying there’s a genocide against Uyghurs happening in China, they said that’s racist lol. I still believe lemmy as a technology is useful.
The problem is just when the VC kicks in and starts demanding shitty stuff that’s gonna ruin the whole thing. Probably just a matter of time but until then I believe SimpleX is far from perfect but has a very convincing architecture.
Ah got it: https://simplex.chat/downloads/#desktop-app
You can link your mobile device with desktop to use the same profile remotely, but this is only possible when both devices are connected to the same local network.
That’s cool I’ll look into that, any alternative to a centralized service that requires phone number auth is appreciated and I think competition will make these apps only better.
I like SimpleX because you can self host, create hidden profiles and even throwaway invite links. What platforms are you missing for SimpleX? I think you can run it on Android, iPhone and through Fdroid plus you could even run it on Tails. I don’t really need interconnectivity so never tried it, but I think it exists.
Anyway, for me it really doesn’t matter, just stumbled upon SimpleX and liked it. But the more alternatives the better.
Simplex works without a phone number though.
It’s that Netflix show that gave the Paris „city of love“ marketing a revival even though we all know it’s a dumpster fire with some beautiful spots like any other big city. This town was featured in there so probably that’s why it’s full of tourists.
Ah it’s the Emily in Paris village. Looks very beautiful although there are probably like 5 similar places without tourists.
Kraken continuously reviews listed tokens to determine the impact from regulatory changes on our offerings.
As one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency platforms, we are constantly working to support the most comprehensive set of digital assets possible in alignment with applicable regulatory and compliance obligations.
What’s changing?
After thorough consideration, and exploration of all viable alternatives, we concluded we have no choice but to delist Monero (XMR) in the European Economic Area (EEA) due to regulatory changes.
We did not take this decision lightly and remain committed to providing our European clients with an exceptional trading experience.
What’s next? On October 31st 2024 at 15:00 PM UTC, we will halt trading and deposits of all XMR markets (XMR/USD, XMR/EUR, XMR/BTC, XMR/USDT) for clients registered in the EEA. Any open XMR orders will also be automatically closed at this time. Note: Clients will remain able to withdraw XMR on Kraken until December 31st, 2024. December 31st 2024 at 15:00 PM UTC is the deadline for withdrawing XMR. Any clients still holding an XMR balance after this date will have their XMR automatically converted to BTC by Kraken at the going market rate. By January 6th 2025 23:59 PM UTC, we will distribute the converted XMR as BTC back to any clients who held XMR at the withdrawal deadline. Any clients who hold an XMR balance at the time of the withdrawal deadline will be automatically included in the conversion of XMR to BTC.
As a leading cryptocurrency exchange, Kraken remains mission-driven and committed to supporting the most comprehensive set of digital assets possible, in alignment with our regulatory and compliance obligations.
We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support as we navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. Thank you for choosing Kraken

Yeah fair enough we’re not really the target audience and the main message came through anyway.
I find this difficult to read. What would have been useful is a per country/state and manufacturer overview that shows where I have to worry about what with whom. Nevertheless this is very alarming and a good reminder to never connect your TV to the internet.
Yeah tbh if you’re a software engineer there’s barely a way around using LinkedIn, I got almost all my jobs through being contacted by recruiters on LinkedIn. I kinda hate that my info is out there but otoh with every switch you get more money and I guess unless you’re some kind of whistleblower or government dissident you’ll have to live with exposing yourself to an extent or miss out on good opportunities.

Yeah I think it’s cool that you can even take control of your private keys. Although I’m thinking it also adds another point of failure / exposure if not done correctly.
Somehow I always end up hating Proton. I was using TOR Browser to create an account and they wouldn’t let me. I had to give either another email or my phone number, and I’m not willing to do either. I even tried creating a throwaway with mailbox.org (works using TOR) and sending the confirmation email there but it never arrived, so I gave up on Proton.
I also tried Tuta and they wouldn’t let me create an account at all using TOR. So eventually I’m sticking with mailbox.org
The Bin Laden killing was a hoax. That guy died year ago because he was on dialysis machines that wouldn’t really function well somewhere deep in the Pakistani mountains. Or maybe he was actually in that house they raided at some point. But the message came out of nowhere like around the time of the reelection campaign. And they never showed a body. But then they even came up with some BS excuse that a sea burial would be Islamic tradition. Also if they really found him why wouldn’t they just arrest him and give him a process? I’m not buying it.
