I feel like casual rudeness and insults have become more common as more people have come over from Reddit.

Same. I’ve been tentatively exploring podcasts, since most of what I used YouTube for was listening to videos to get to sleep at night. It would be exciting if Peertube use picked up because of this, though.

W2k was the best.

Yeah, I really liked LXDE.

Yep. I’ve had no problems with x11. It’s always been super stable.

TBH, I’ve always wanted to do this.

I use XFCE, but I like Cinnamon too. I use Nemo and Xed instead of Thunar and…whatever.

Maybe, but I normally only leave battery optimization on for apps that shouldn’t be running in the background at all. This was several years ago, though. If Signal isn’t like that anymore, that’s a good thing.

At some point, probably after Fedora stops supporting x11, openSUSE plans to follow suit, and it will no longer be available in the repos. There’s no firm date for when this will occur, though. I read about it on the official forum.

I use XFCE. If their Wayland support isn’t ready when openSUSE Tumbleweed eliminates support for x11, I’m not sure what I’ll go to.

SimpleX is what I use. I tried Signal in the past, but there was a noticeable delay in receiving messages and it caused problems when using it to communicate with family.

I have no problems with SimpleX so far. It works well and looks modern. A feature I like is that you can create a different user identity for each contact/ chat thread. It also supports socks5 proxy.

I believe Briar can’t do offline messaging without setting it up to use another app. That’s the main reason my friend group shifted to SimpleX instead of Briar.

Good to know, even though I’m not a Gnome user. I wonder if it will work with torsocks.

Llamacpp, Koboldcpp, and TabbyAPI are also popular local backends for local AI. SillyTavern or RisuAi are good frontends for a chat/RP style experience. Or LM Studio for a simple, all in one solution.

I use LACT. It’s very easy to use and works well.

I’m not so sure that it is an edge case. I’m just an average person. I’m sure there are many people who have reason to receive and/or save much larger volumes of email than I do. Regardless, it’s always better to have software that works well under a wide range of circumstances.

I used Exodus for years because so many people recommend them. Then I read their privacy policy and realized they collect info on your transactions for advertising purposes. If I had realized that, I never would’ve used them tbh. I liked the look and features, but spying on me is 100% the opposite of what I want in a crypto wallet. I swapped all of my Bitcoin and Doge to Monero and switched to the Feather wallet. So far, I’m liking it. Not as slick-looking, but lots of features, and private.

I use it on desktop when I’m trying to rephrase something I’ve written to make my meaning more clear or improve the flow.

I’ve seen BLT pizza, which sounds similar. I didn’t know salad pizza was a thing. It sounds like it might be really good or really bad depending on the freshness of the ingredients and the balance of softness to crispiness.

Never thought about potatoes on pizza, but potatoes are good in anything IMO.
