Nostr is the easiest to use decentralized Twitter alternative I’ve came across.

I do not trust Whatsapp to provide the security of a signal conversation. Who wants signal and WhatsApp to talk to each other ?

This is true. I’m a bit biased as that is what I would do. I’d say most users will not even notice. I think most of us here on lemmy are tech heads though and we would be the ones who do connect our phones to PC.

Unless it’s limited by hardware this will be a main cause for jailbreaking your iPhone.

I run N, I like it.

If you want to try Linux, try Ubuntu or mint. Those are the easiest to make an entry into.

No it’s not, if it’s not on the store (outside of Ubuntu does a store even exist?) then it’s more difficult to install. Half the time it’s an appimage you have to download, make it executable and then run. Then if you install it from a website you have to go through the trouble of adding a shortcut into your application menu / desktop and it’s just way more complex than Windows.

I disagree. If you consider a power user using PowerShell or terminal, then sure. But simple things on windows are more complex on Linux. Like installing a program, if you can do it through snap or apt get then great, still more complex for the average user compared to windows where you just download and click.

a failed desktop OS

Windows still has over 60% of desktop market share. You may not like it, but it isn’t a failed OS.

They will not outlaw VPNs. Every major company uses a form of VPN to allow workers to connect remotely. No chance this will happen.

For me it’s the lack of content that is killing Lemmy. It’s just not nearly as entertaining here as it was on Reddit. I know the community isn’t the same size so it isn’t comparable really, but it’s just the same content here day after day.

But how few people actually buy gold?

Might want to see if you can contact the devs for .world. They might be able to help you, it’s a strange issue you’re having.

You’d probably be happier on hacker news then mate, enjoy. https://news.ycombinator.com/

Lemmy.world is going through maintenance right now. I think it mostly finished yesterday though. Could have had something to do with it.
