Not sure if that info is available or even possible to filter out, but i think this happens in every social media site

According to FediDB there has been a 1.7% growth this month. Meaning 244,051 new accounts have been created on fediverse on the past 30days. Almost 250thousand people in a month. I'm sure this is completely coincidental

I joined Matrix today, It's been 4-5 hours, I've seen multiple other users joining aswell, asking for what client is the best one or how to do X. For sure a lil exodus is happening.

Element didn't run properly for me, and Cinny sometimes crashes, but the worst is that i can't change the size of the UI, so tiling it with my other 3 windows sucks cause Cinny takes a ton of space, I'll try a few more

safest- id say, I don't think anything is 100% safe, like on pc i use linux and I feel that's safer than the old ass Iphone I use. Like on a phone they can decide tomorrow "oh btw we are gonna scan your entire phone now just because or record your screen or whatever" while on linux I feel that's not a thing.

mhmm! It's awesome, and not only like open-minded/queer but a lil anti-establisment too, they had the usual ideas and discourse common in the open source space, also yea being queer myself too, I can't help but notice tech it really open to differences like that, another reason to like it!

Same country, but yea you shouldn't believe me at all without proof, not implying you should either, but yeah are dope people, loved the way he talked about doing consulting, "eh, listen here, a job is just a means to an end, so you gotta try and work as little as possible, I do have a private office space I rent that I go to a few times a week, but I try not to if I can help it, and with big companies you always overbill when it comes to time, they don't really know how much time anything takes anyways smirk, and then I get time back to do whatever I feel like actually working on." And his gf at the time (a trans girl) was also wicked smart, oh, they also liked going to vegas every so often (I don't even know if they are still together tho, its been a long time and I didn't keep in touch at all)

It's just a fun fact, not something for defamation, to win internet clout or anything like that (that's why I don't wanna get into too much detail) Also I don't think the guy i met did consultation regarding stocks, he did consultation with his like programming skills and stuff, the stock thing is just something he showed me he and his gf liked doing for fun on the side (can't remember but might've been related to something like daytrading more than a long term 10-15 year set and forget investment) But just to reiterate, great people at least from the little time i hanged out with them they seemed super chill.

I don't know much about security, but I avoided using Lemmy on my phone for example, is it safe to use something like matrix on your phone?

 

Heyy, how's it going? After finding Lemmy and pushing myself to try it out I'm loving it, so if this is the reddit alternative, what about that discord alternative everyone's talking about? Matrix. Tried downloading Element and got some kind of error message at the beginning, it's probably fixable, but I could also not bother and get a different client. Anyone that uses Matrix has clients they'd recommend?

What do you get out of a rolling release? I get that you get newer stuff faster, but what does that do for your day to day use?

anecdotal experience tells me people who use arch break their system way more than people who use mint, not exactly sure why that happens

 

Well, a random creep messaged me on reddit, after a few messages exchanged he said he looked up my private profile on google and read through my posts. Outside of how angry I was at him for doing that, it surprised me that google does this, It even gave an AI OVERVIEW of who I am on reddit, (I have posted my age and country on reddit, and a few other things ofc, but the others describe what im into and what I do on reddit, not tied to any personal info, so its just my age and country really) But what the fuck google? I know you can look up people in places like ghostddit, so I wasn't expecting my profile to be 100% private either, but it's crazy you can find it straight on google. I guess its slowly coming to a point than ANYTHING you do online is gonna visible for EVERYONE. Yes we were already being surveilled, but this and then the discord thing with messages from servers showing up on google too? I'm pissed off man. (I know lemmy is not private either, but I don't have a google account tied to here, the one email I used to register didn't ask me for phone verification so its not as bad to hang out here, might look into matrix later)

 

Hi, how's it going? I've been daily driving mint with i3 for a while now, (takes like 500mb idle ram) but I always hear mint being called a newbie distro, I know arch is harder to set up and more customizable for example, but overall im wondering, in which cases one would go from mint to another distro? what can make other distros "better" than mint? i'll end up using a window manager (i3 or if thats not availible some other lightweight one) so differences in desktop environments i dont really care that much about

 

Heyy, I'm learning programming and trying to choose a focus, I saw you can make web/backend w node, desktop (bloatware but discord uses it so if it works it works), games (not AAA and not optimized for performance but it shouldn't matter for indie too much) Is there anything that compares? I wanna focus on one thing instead of spreading myself over a ton of languages, I do feel js is interesting for this, but I'm just starting out, so looking to hear some thoughts of people more familiar with programming.
