    Views that seriously harm or endanger other people are dangerous.

    If the founder would have opposing views in e.g. should we narrow down the car roads in cities and widen the pedestrian walks - ok. I think there’s a lot to this question, I think pedestrian walks should be wider, cars are dangerous, etc. But this is not as dangerous as:

    “Do you deny scientific evidence that COVID is real and a real danger to a lot of humans”

    SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder’s positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he’s also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I’ve lost receipts to that.

    I did not know this. I’ve seen people recommend SimpleX on lemmy too, but probably they didn’t know.







  • I’ve been using linux at work for years, but never installed a distro at home to replace my desktop before.

    Switched to linux mint at home last autumn and had 0 issues and love it!

    To be fair I knew my way around Debian already, but using linux with a desktop environment to replace my home setup posed some challenges that simply originate from being used to windows at home.

    I went with Linux Mint because I wanted my home desktop to work with minimal fiddling and I’m still really happy!

    Edit: words.
