Delta Chat has the advantage that everyone already has an email address

Combined usage of delta chat and unencrypted mail in the same inbox has been specifically advised against for longer than that.

Delta chat works on FreeBSD.

Delta chat is decentralized but noted down as federated (unlike session even though they have centralized infrastructure without which the app does not work)

Delta chat is compatible with any chatmail messenger (arcane chat, delta touch, parla, etc) yet instead it says it falls back to email (which if they mean unencrypted email is no longer true as delta chat no longer allows unencrypted mail or if they mean encrypted email then the that hasn’t been true for a long time because the email client supporting encrypted email are mostly no longer using open standards)

I could go on but you get the point

    that's a neat idea

    in lieu of mass popularity and scale (e.g., YouTube), I like that you're trying to stimulate and foster community, activity/engagement, and higher-effort videos from the instance side of things

    I guess? How do they get engagement from users that aren't posting videos? Who's the creator supposed to engage with? Other creators? Or are they just relying on watchers that have made an account elsewhere to be able to watch and comment on the vids?

    I made this comment here because I dont have a peer tube login yet and couldn't make one there?

    Edit: Nvm. Always impressed by fediverse. Can post with Mastodon and the like. Neat!

    Well, there is clearly some pushback, though, because most Windows 10 copies would have already reached End of Life between 2017 and 2025 if not for public outcry.

    IDK how many of that 24% will go to Linux after microslop discontinues the last few LTSC holdouts, but I wager more than a few.

    The bigger issue is that btrfs comes with a bunch of recovery tools that all served their error message. Snapshots also failed to overwrite the data on the drive.

    I even recovered everything in the home directory the WRONG way: forcing it to mount read only from a different operating system on a different drive and copying it over via terminal. There is a btrfs tool for this, which did not work.

    I also hit up their liberachat to see if they would help me figure out where the problem is, and eventually one of them told me it was my fault for not having backups (even though I did have backups and never claimed otherwise). A more competent member came to the conclusion that the drive wasn't fully supported.

    So yes, btrfs is cool and someday might be recommended but right now I don't think it's a good idea to leave as the default option.

    Unfortunately most people still doesn't seem to care. In the recent Steam hardware survey Windows still holds 95% (Win 11 71% and Win 10 24%) with an increase in Windows users by 1.08% from the previous survey. Linux only has 3.05%, with a decrease of 0.85% from the previous one.

    Rather disappointing.

    Conversely my experience with CachyOS has been fantastic! Way better than I thought it would be. I do reccomend ext4 and having separate drives for storing all your files, though, because I did almost lose some stuff to a filesystem corruption on btrfs.
