FWIW Matrix and XMPP are also decentralised, much like e-mail is, which is why I recommended it. I'm immediately skeptic about SimpleX's premise of having no user IDs; they'll likely need some unique field for each user, this might as well be a UUID or something like that... So what's the benefit?

Off-topic but:

Linux Mint
GPU: AMD RX7600XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
RAM: 16GB DDR4

That's surprisingly mid-range, I don't think I ever see that; just budget specs or bragging-level specs. As someone with almost the same build (Ryzen 7 4700GE, RX7700XTX, 16 GB DDR4) I'm positively surprised!

Yeah, honestly they're great.

As far as brands are concerned, replacing with Japanese alternatives is just as, or even more, valid as European alternatives; but that's not for this sub.

The first one but slightly bigger.

Signal is American

Opt for a Matrix or XMPP provider in Europe (magicbroccoli.de is a genuinely great XMPP provider)

Thanks, I hate it a lot.

Edited, it's supposed to be tweakers.net

I usually reach their website using DuckDuckGo's !tweakers bang like so: Demo link

No clue, I hope similarly low or lower.

I'm afraid I'm wrong, though.

Yeah that one messes me up as well. Who of these birthed the cat? Who of these did the cat birth?

Anything from the inventor of the AK-47 regretting the deaths good invention caused and how it doesn't line up with his Orthodox beliefs, to the guy who decided that two slashes should follow an internet protocol saying it wasn't necessary; what a list!

Listening to a track 10x means Spotify says it's worth max $0.05, $0.035 goes to not-Spotify, and a fraction again of that goes to the actual artists rather than the publishers...

So either millions of people listen to a track dozens of times or it's not really worth being on Spotify except for the reachability, right?

Your local computer shop, most likely. If it's run by some old guy with a soldering shop hosting his website on his own little server in the back room of the shop they're probably the best, speaking from experience here (NL)

As for the Netherlands, tweakers .com tweakers.net their price watch has a decent database of competing prizes across Dutch web shops, even smaller ones!
To anyone reading this, please let me know if there's websites like this for other European countries!

Dumb answer: Just use a VPN, my guy.

This one does not spark joy.

That's just the difference between compiled and interpreted.

Interpreted programs such as web apps can very much be programs, after all.

We need to rewrite it to nerd.rs for speed and memory safety!

Man, that's amazing!

You're right, I must've copied the links incorrectly, I just fixed them.

oh no not the zanussi

Yeah, but to be fair I happily use Bandcamp even though it's from the US.
