awooo

I think what they mean is that someone unfamiliar with your line of work might even read the entire post and come away with it with the view of "Okay, and?" since the title told them this was going to be about "What Does It Mean To Be A Signal Competitor?"

The problem there is that what Signal is is different to different people, someone might for example use it like any other chat application, in which case even something like Telegram (ew) or Discord could be an alternative to them.

Again, if someone is familiar with your blog, they'll know what you mean, but the blog post can be viewed by someone in isolation, in which case it won't be so clear, especially since it's also in relation to moving off of Telegram, which is not an E2EE platform at all by default

Yeah that's really shitty, I think it got through to the hoomans of lemmy sadly :/

I think hands with pawpads and some proper claws are a good compromise :3

I'd be an anthro, so all the benefits of being hooman without being hooman (except sweating, so you'd be able to outrun me eventually)

Depends, if it's only biological changes, I'd get myself two hearts, and minimize the chances of any disease or aging knocking me out, then become an anthro folf because being hooman is overrated

If cybernetics are allowed, I'd probably get rid of the damn body and just have a virtual one, with my brain connected to some machine deep underground

Hi!

I think it's valid, I would love to be able to do that myself, but I am content with my human body for however long it takes to get there (except the part where it's slowly deteriorating over time)

Other than that, VR is pretty nice

That's really the thing with Steam in general, from a consumer perspective it's a very good and honest service, it actually adds to the experience of playing games instead of being an annoyance.

A lot of other stores feel like only shells made around popular titles to promote more stuff and lock people into using them. More launchers won't solve the monopoly of Steam, you'll just end up with as many as there are streaming services.

That's not the case for GOG and Itch, but there you don't get the same level of experience.

Definitely agree, there's just no denying it will take a lot of valuable things down with it and make plenty of noise in the process :/

It's gonna be funny if users vote in favor of the protest and against pro-spez mods.

Maybe he will start editing other people's votes too!

I feel like that's where online payment systems really let us down. If there was an easy universal way to pay a few cents to view content and it wasn't a privacy and fee nightmare, I'm sure people would have no problem doing that. Digicash systems come to mind, I hope they could make a comeback one day.

But I also fear a lot of the damage could've been done already, kids who grow up with the internet now will probably only remember big tech platforms and may not be very eager to try out something more complicated.
