Fortnite is great, but Epic Games Stores app on Windows is abysmal. Not sure if I’ve ever used slower software than this.

"Telegram clearly fails to meet this stronger definition for a simple reason: it does not end-to-end encrypt conversations by default. If you want to use end-to-end encryption in Telegram, you must manually activate an optional end-to-end encryption feature called “Secret Chats” for every single private conversation you want to have. The feature is explicitly not turned on for the vast majority of conversations, and is only available for one-on-one conversations, and never for group chats with more than two people in them.

Now I’m sitting and thinking if there’s anything I forgot to move from Windows to Linux (even though I didn’t “move”, I just installed it side by side and everything on Windows is still there). Also Windows is here to stay since I can’t play Warzone on Linux, so I will have to use Windows too and that’s fi... pawel.orzech.me

Holy fuck.

In a pitch deck to prospective customers, one of Facebook’s alleged marketing partners explained how it listens to users' smartphone microphones and advertises to them accordingly.

Threads are fine in terms of being integrated with ActivityPub, but holy shit if this isn’t an engagement hell. Because I see how this app tries to hook me in I can’t (and will not) use it.

I’ve been tracking calories for about six weeks now, and it’s both obvious and interesting that whenever my macros lean heavily towards carbs, I end up eating more than on days with a higher protein intake.

On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.

I’d even wish it was Chrome but I don’t trust them at all. Brave probably, maybe Arc if they sort out their Windows app. This would be great, to not care about system at all but be able to do everything I need in just a web browser.

I’d actually love to have all of my life in a web browser. Just that. The web browser. Maybe this is something I should explore more? It’s definitely doable. Or is it?

I’d love to buy myself an Android phone and my wife even said that I should go for it, but I can’t, yet. I’m gonna wait for someone to finally add something like MagSafe (Qi2?) so I can use my wallet and powerbanks. And then I’m gonna change my watch from Apple Watch to something more system agnostic (Garm... pawel.orzech.me

Was just listening the Arc podcast (the one about browser) and it’s fascinating that Stripe entire work-stack will be enterprise Chrome only. That’s bold but also VERY interesting.

There’s a good and bad part to it. Good part is that I’m going to just move everything to new, HomeAssistant-only server. Bad part - I’ve got to do it. I have to do “the thing”.

@Havn huh interesting take regarding how much goes to artist either way. Joe thing still stands though! And music quality.

Isn’t tidal the best of both worlds with great quality and pretty ok app?

New SSD just came in. Ubuntu is already installed. The only issue is that my keyboard doesn’t work nicely with Ubuntu because it’s Magic Whatever Apple Keyboard. I might just get the Logitech MX thing.

@Havn I do use Spotify right now, but: it's giving money to Joe Rogan, Spotify keeps paying artists less than Apple Music does and quality of music isn't top tier (and I do have good enough stereo to listen to lossless music)

I switched to Apple Music a long time ago, but I still use Spotify (and right now, it’s my “main” platform) because finding new music is MUCH easier on Spotify. The “Made for You” playlists are full of either songs I already love or tracks I haven’t heard before but would love to discover. Also, I’m not s... pawel.orzech.me

@Havn nice, valid point. I think you might be right! I’m not using Arc on Windows so I don’t use the same browser everywhere. Hmmm… thanks for the input, I might think about it more now 😅

@ldukemperezo I do have that very small, portable Canon though that works most of the time during daylight (and it’s pretty mediocre) during low light scenarios. Maybe I should just rent it out and check how I’m feeling about this

@pcora I do have Canon G5X Mark II with me all the time but you can cheat bigger sensor with smaller sensor unfortunately. It is very convenient though, small, f/1.8-2.8 and basically 24-120mm lens. Very good but noise comes up quite quickly with it
