Yeah, thunderbird is solid as an email client. Can’t really think of anything I need to do with email that it can’t do

That could be my happy place

Ikr? From that wee, neglected kitten to this.

That’s an amazing human caretaker shining bright as well as a gorgeous cat

Totally worth it!

Also, I have the same sticker on the kit I keep with my sharpening tools

That was my thought too. If it had that, it would have everything I want a phone to have. On paper at least, things don’t always match spec lists

Much appreciated!

Tbh, I don’t use actual Firefox often any more it’s usually forks, and I’m not hyper worried about updating them as soon as a new version rolls out, I’m fine waiting a few weeks.

But I have noticed the sidebar thing on my laptop. Not sure which version it’s on, but it can’t have been much more than two weeks since I updated Firefox on it, since that’s when I did a version update to mint. Maybe three weeks at most.

I dunno, considering that Facebook data has been used to go after people, we’ve got fascists using every method possible to target their current hated group, and police everywhere ignoring or bypassing due process by just buying data, I don’t think it all paranoid to think that privacy concerns are already huge, and could get worse

Well, it started Here

Then it expanded Like a contagion

Until Random, unconnected individuals started spreading it

But, Lemmy got it in a different way so the spread isn’t as severe.

Did you comment in the wrong place?

Your comment is talking about resolution, and the post is about YouTube throttling speeds, not resolution of videos.

I suspect you were trying to respond to a comment instead of making your own top level comment, though I’m not certain.

In any case, if the comment is in the wrong place, now you know. If it isn’t, well, it may help to know that it’s out of place thematically.

Edit: I think this comment https://midwest.social/comment/18120563 is where you intended to respond

Well, when it comes to video games, despite being foundational, Mario Bros. At the time, it was mids, but there were a lot less truly great games, and less abysmal ones so it looked better than it was. The series got better, but that first one was kinda meh. It’s all timing jumps, which is fine as far it as it goes, but there were both better and worse options on that console.

Away from video game, Life is about as meh as it gets. No real strategy, no depth. But it’s a good time killer and you can play it with a table full of people drinking and not get bogged down or into arguments because of the game (unlike monopoly lol).

Whats bad is that list misses so much stuff that’s worse than a mosh pit.

Like, have you ever see a venue after the crowd decides to have an impromptu orgy? Takes days to get the jizz out of the rafters

Goats are so fun.

I’ve never had any myself, which may be why I think of them being fun first, but they are a riot

Someone needs pats, stat

Good fences do help make good neighbors. And, good neighbors can obviously make a good fence even better.

Besides your list? Matrix via element or elementX. I’ve been test driving arcane chat, which is decent enough, but too new to be widely used enough to really say much.

I don’t disagree tbh.

However, in terms of ui/ux it is still the closest comparison that’s not wholly dominated by capital drives. Things like WhatsApp have better ui, but I don’t think anyone remotely interested in things like signal would use those at all if not forced to it.

Right now, matrix, arcane chat, xmpp, and similar options are better than signal under the hood (supposedly, I don’t have the knowledge base to verify for myself), but the ui is anywhere from outdated to outright horrible.

I’ve heard that from some code minded folks before though, so I don’t think you’re wrong. ElementX is better than regular element in that regard already. Been a while since I tried anything else since I only have one person that I communicate regularly with on there. Everyone else is more sporadic, so I haven’t had as much impetus to keep up on apps as much as I used to.

Yeah, it really sucks that the closest feature parity and ui/ux parity in messengers is proprietary services.

Even signal isn’t there. Mind you, they can’t offer all the same options by virtue of prioritizing encryption as the default, not afaik, with things like the easier syncing of messages.

I like matrix and it’s various apps fine overall, but they are definitely behind in polish and usability features. They just aren’t great as a primary messaging option. That’s ignoring the difficulty of onboarding people, which is tangential to this, but still relevant since it doesn’t matter how great a messenger is if you can’t use it with anyone. Since the lack of features and ui/ux issues prevent onboarding, it’s a real problem.
