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

many people who work from home have flexible work hours (they can decide if to work in the evening or morning) and so they need to be reachable at any time, even it it might be off hour

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

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

this is how i imagine EDC people carrying their 31 gadgets without a backpack

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

sounds like what autocorrect would say when you click the suggested word over and over

/s

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

happening right now. I guess it’s a sign

dang I guess I lost the argument /s

hot take: I liked the 2 more then the 3

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

could be all a facade to get some votes from the centrists, we can’t know yet

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

usually college networks have a Mac address whitelist, so you need to turn off Mac spoofing in order to connect
