You don’t need to do everything on the terminal – even today, you don’t have to. But you should not fear the terminal, the same way you should not fear a piano because you play a violin. Windows also has a terminal, there’s stuff that tells you to go there to enable some Powershel things, and no one complains.
Yeah sorry I underspecified because the rest is implied in the context of the case. You add a contact to a group, of course they get the messages that go to the group.
Heck, even IRC (basically) works like that.
The entire point of the fediverse is to federate. Not federating by default kills discoverability and the potential for discoverability among other things
Trump dismisses Signal security failure as
“Our failure”.
Signal worked perfectly here: if you add a contact, they get the messages.
What failed was the Trumpist, like at everything else.
Oh, do cry me a river while you’re at it. Pretty much every community everywhere has a general or memes room, those are for the meme gifs (or wait, these are webp these days…).
So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it’s real people, not shitty SEO content.
Excuse me what? Since when since Jun 2024 does Reddit actually have real people?
This pretty much. At some point one has to accept that the people who want to be saved can be saved, and those who don’t, can’t. We shouldn’t (reasonably or not) waste ourselves for the latter in spite of the former.
If I’m talking with people about the topical thing which is why I joined a room in the first place, the last thing I want is a looping autoloops fruityloops annoyance. Plus, not autoplaying and autolooping them saves battery.
Excuse me, Jabber / XMPP is about as old as I am!
XMPP / Jabber is better.
You don’t need years for a terminal, at least not for the stuff a normal user would have to expect to do with it (so eg.: not browsing files, that has good UIs already). But you should expect to have to learn something. We require people to learn and even certify their learning when they are to drive a car for example, and for computers we are not even askng 1/6th of that, even tho the last few decades show we maybe should.
