What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?

Matrix is more like discord, no phone numbers, just email, and you can make big groups with different channels within. More meant for communities then something like Signal, that’s mostly for 1:1 conversation or small groups

What advantage would it give me over other services? Keeping the discord example i said above, no tracking, possibility to have end to end encryption, and open source code, along with the ability of having different instances that can communicate to each other, just like here on lemmy, so if you don’t trust anyone else you can run your own instance

Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that’s still fully in development?

It’s mostly good already, but as with many other privacy focused services it lacks a wide adoption, so most of the communities there are about privacy, Linux and that type of stuff.

How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?

The most used client, Element, is IMO very easy to use, you can directly register through there, and you get the choice of choosing between the official matrix.org instance (which on certain occasions is laggy due to the many people using it), or other instances

although you gotta admit it’s gonna be funny seeing “Google Reactor” on killedbygoogle.com

I see you’ve removed your link, but before it was linking to a scam stream

either that or they keep some of them to make them reproduce

crickets only chirp when completely adult and looking for a female (usually past the 35 day mark), while pet food stores usually ship them while they’re still in their teen phase( 20 days), where they are silent

more of a flood then a river /s

and in 10 years time, it’s gonna be 10 years away

Just use solar (and renewables in general, but not everybody has a river or wind), there’s no need to create more energy from fusion when you can just harness the energy created and shoved to us by the sun

the 3d printing part is only aesthetical, people have been taking their lifes by just using a bag or whatever else can contain the nitrogen from a tank

How people are so confident in sharing their DNA, something you cannot change, that you will carry on for your entire life, and that can uniquely identify you with just a small sample, to a private, profit-driven company still amazes me

And the worst part is, even if you’re careful about it, all that’s needed is a relative doing it and now the company can basically tell most of your family tree

And all for what, knowing the parents of the parents of your parents come from some neighboring country? No shit, Sherlock, people move around

it is, but you need to have some chemistry knowledge to be able to extract it from things like anal lube, and that’s where I think this DIY project will shine

just like nuclear fusion, it was 10 years away 10 years ago, it’s 10 years away now and it will be 10 years away 10 years from now

i mean, usually wikipedia’s references ARE from those old books

right, you fan disabile them using their unique software which you have to install for every component, signing away your life (cough cough Disney) in the process

I’m just sad we aren’t at calling it “formerly facebook” instead of meta

how else are they supposed to get you to use their AI for everything

what’s the cookie supposed to mean?

the problem is the one we’re gonna have in a few years if nobody steps in now and does something

cough cough EU please

after reading all the comments I still have no idea what the hell crowdstrike is

chinese EVs are cheap, plentiful and work just as fine as teslas

No, mull is a fork of Firefox meant for android and developed by the divestOS team, while mullvad is a completely different fork, only for desktop atm and developed by mullvad (the VPN company)

they both focus on privacy and integrate Tor patches and modify some configs to better resist fingerprinting, but mullvad browser goes a step further with the tor integration, going as far as storing all data in RAM, so it deletes every cookie, history etc on restart. Could be an advantage, could be a disadvantage, up to you
