FOMO is a bad beast

corporations use ice to give less of the drink, and shoved it up everyone’s ass with ads everywhere, and now people just accept it without questioning cough cough frog in a boiling pot cough cough

I really hate that California dropped all new shower heads down to 1.8 gpm

never heard of this, but wow I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I buy a shower head (which is probably never because of how much those things last, but good to know anyways)

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

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

the problem is the one we’re gonna have in a few years if nobody steps in now and does something

cough cough EU please

chinese EVs are cheap, plentiful and work just as fine as teslas

but most importantly, did you inject or snore

Edit: snort, fuck autocorrect

the same people who bought the bath water, I guess

You touch your bare shit covered ass?

Yes, absolutely, and then I proceed to wash my hands because I’m not a Neanderthal

it might look and sound barbaric but it feels amazibg

they probably mean the Japanese style ones where you attach a seat to the toilet bowl, and on e you are done a small tube comes out and shoots water up

yea I don’t know how those are popular either

Copying the text from another comment i made here:

I have a standalone bidet, not the toilet bowl attachment, which is basically a mini sink, and it works like a sink in that you can regulate flowrate and temperature with the handle

with this kind, you have 100% cleanliness since you use your hand to clean everything, and after it there’s a mini-towel for each person, usually in a towel rack near the bidet so no-one gets confused, and usually in a smaller size then normal towels.

If you’re worried about the idea of using your hand being unhygienic, rest assured, there’s a radical invention called washing your hands afterwards, which, by the way, you should do anyways even if you use toilet paper.

wasn’t that the whole point of capitalism anyways? /s
