  • Even if the messages are end to end encrypted I wouldn’t trust a third party with that data (unless it was a company that does it for a living.)

    I’d probably recommend running your own instance, I imagine for that few users it would be pretty cheap. Though maintenance is probably the biggest issue there.

    Or just use a third party Matrix server but send client info over email using GPG keys. That would cost you nothing.



  • I’m not making a theory, my only theory is to not jump to conclusions and make assumptions. If that’s defending Capcom then so be it.

    I’m angry about the Turtle costume prices too, I’m just not going to buy them.

    All I’m saying is we have to wait until we see the prices for the character alts to really grab the pitchforks. The first paid DLC is cross promotional, there isn’t enough data to extrapolate from to assume that the character costumes will also be overpriced.

    And yes, I am saying that just because you work in the industry doesn’t mean you should state something you can’t possibly know without insider information as fact. Of course unless you secretly work at Capcom/Nickelodeon and don’t wanna say publicly :)


  • You can make assumptions all you want but they’re just that and you shouldn’t be flaunting them as fact.

    The fact is we don’t know the details of the agreement between Capcom and Nickelodeon. There are also Turtles action figures where they are dressed like Street Fighter characters so the promotion goes in both directions.

    For all we know these prices could have been set by Nickelodeon.

    I’m not defending Capcom as much as saying don’t jump to conclusions without concrete evidence. I think these are extremely poorly priced but I’m still hopeful that the Outfit 3 DLC for the playable cast will be reasonably priced (I’ll probably eat those words though, it’s modern Capcom.)



  • I love Gnome. But I have a pretty simple workflow where I don’t use many applications. Generally I have a browser and terminal open and that’s it.

    I do all my window management inside of Tmux, which is effectively my actual window manager.

    I’ve tried KDE in the past but I’ve never liked how it feels like a stepping stone for the Windows interface – not a huge fan of pullout menus. I’ve been using Linux exclusively for almost twenty years so I don’t have any love for that UX.

    I used to use a lot of simple/tiling window managers when I was younger and more patient, Gnome feels similar to those in how it has very few bells and whistles to get in your way.

    If only maintaining extensions was easier, it feels like every major release breaks every extension for something stupid like renaming a constant. The Gnome team seems to put very little consideration into making the JS extension API stable.

  • I’m still pretty new but I believe federation works like syncing. You can see that at Beehaw, they defederated Lemmyworld so any communities from lemmywprld are still visible, but no longer updated.

    Edit: I should mention it’s not exactly like syncing, because federation won’t sync backwards in time (for example is A defederated from B for three days, when they refederate they will see new posts but not what they missed in those three days.)

    But if they stay federated then the copy should be mostly identical in terms of content.
