All of them are built on venture capital and borrowing money used to be “free” so investors were fine with borrowing with 0% interest and spending them on all the shiny tech projects. Now with interest rate being 5.25% they all of them all demanding return on their investment and companies that never in their lifetime were profitable are forced to come up with a way to make that money.

How does using Matrix compare with using Signal, privacy-wise?

I’m not sure if it is entirely accurate to compare them in this way, as “Matrix” refers to simply the protocol, whereas “Signal” could refer to the applications, server, and protocol. That being said, is there any fundamental difference in how the Matrix ecosystem of federated servers, and independently developed...

amihan,

Signal requires a Phone Number while Matrix do not.

Which e-mail service should I use?

I’ve been wanting to move on from gmail for a while now, thought about self hosting but I’m afraid I won’t have the time or ability to keep it running well for a long period of time.

I am once again in awe of the talent of 8-bit illustrators. This educational program from 1994(!) runs on an unmodified 128K Apple //e from 1983. It is difficult to explain how amazing this is without launching into a thesis on Apple II graphics, especially the limitations of the double hi-res mode.

I agree that free and open source is the only way forward.

However, RMS is quite extreme. He once told Bryan Lunduke on Linux Action Show that his children should starve instead of Bryan working on proprietary code.

He also believes necrophilia is a harmless crime and that it's immoral to have children as they a large cost of global warming. And let's not forget he didn't think there was anything wrong with child sex thing, though he did apologize and later state he wasn't versed on the science that shows major harm can be done mentally and emotionally from it. Not defending him in the least in this, just stating he apologized.

I'm not saying this to say he's a terrible person, he's not. But he's a person and we need to remember to never put anyone on a pedastal as everyone has something we won't agree with.

I have to say that although I'm enjoying so far, the moderator avatar of a man with a gun to his head and the Star Wars stormtrooper icon that's on nearly every page are making me reconsider spending my time here. What is the deal with those images?
