Life is a dream, only death is real

You could make seperate accounts for different topics. Like make one account for memes, one for technology, one for news/politics, one for educational purposes etc etc.

Pretty much every Lemmy app lets you login with multiple accounts at once. Wefwef does that too, if you prefer websites over native apps.

That makes seperating your feeds a more clean experience. That’s how I do it for Youtube example.

If I open Youtube, because I want to listen to music in the background, I don’t want to get distracted by memes, news, vlogs, gaming stuff etc. That’s why I log in with my Music account where I only subscribe to musicians. This gives me a clean feed and the algorithm works in my favor to keep me at the topic at hand.

It’s hard to remember song names, because most EDM tracks are non-lyrical.

For example in dubstep, most trends age poorly.

Skrillex- inspired stuff or “Zomboy - Terror Squad” copycats sound really oversaturated nowadays. Even “hip and cool” commercials made some bootleg versions of “Ruffneck Bass” and “Equinox” from Skrillex.

Also samples and sound design from many EDM tracks 10+ years ago feel really unoriginal from a modern listener’s perspective.

There are obviously also a lot of exeptions. Old stuff from “Tha Trickaz”, “Savant”, “Xilent” etc etc all still hold up imo.

My taste in music mostly stayed the same since childhood. I just like more genres now.

I am really into EDM, old EDM songs from popular subgenres oftentimes feel “outdated” in a sense.

For non-EDM enjoyers, its all beeps and boops anyways tho.

Why would the admin close the donation platform accounts immediately after this supposed attack?

Why did they not create a second account to clarify right here, what happened?

I personally could (after many tries) load the site with my account logged in and saved my list of subscriptions.

Can you replicate the PrinceHabib screenshot in incognito mode?

Maybe this is some Lemmy glitch that randomly gives you access to other users’ accounts under very specific circumstances?

I personally think that the admin got busted by the IRS or got involved with law enforcement for a reason unrelated to Lemmy, which is why their payment accounts got flatlined.

Vlemmy maybe is just running on their homeserver, but the server has some issues, that the admin can not fix right because they are in prison/in a hospital/dead or something similar.

iMessage also runs on data/wifi. So I don’t think, this is really about affordable data and more just stubborness from the Android side.

The biggest feature that WhatsApp and Signal provide over RCS, is the fact that you can use them on iOS.

Right now RCS in practise is just another walled garden, that not every phone with every carrier can join.

Apple will likely never implement RCS, especially not right now where the best RCS experience is reliant on Google servers and propietary Google extensions.

Only government intervention could force Apple’s hand. But I don’t believe the EU will implement such a law in the next 10 years. America, where this issue actually matters, probably not even in 20 years.

I doubt that even Google will stick to RCS to the bitter end. They had significantly more power over XMPP, but they abandoned it anyway for some in-house propietary protocol. Who says history will not repeat itself?

Yeah blocking words like reddit, lemmy, fediverse and threads could probably give you more original content.

Blocking political buzzwords would be probably great for mental health reasons.

Google dropping XMPP leading to the death of the protocol is a distortion of truth. Sure it hurted the XMPP federation back then, but this is just one aspect.

For one, XMPP had many competitors since the beginning including other open federated ones like IRC. XMPP was just a new standard with new interesting features. Most people used propietary messenger like AIM back then.

Imo the most critical reason why XMPP did not become mainstream, was because they slept through the early smartphone phase. iOS for a long time had no client compatible with XMPP servers. Smartphones nowadays dominate the global messenger market tho, which made federated XMPP helpless against the rise of WhatsApp, iMessage and so on.

In the desktop space XMPP never really overshadowed IRC significantly. IRC kept all the old tech nerds, while Discord now swallows all the younger nerds. Skype, Microsoft Teams and Zoom took the rest.

XMPP again slept through all of this. Jitsi and Matrix/Element rose up as new open standards because of that as well.

Google Talk was never that big in comparison. Even if Google had kept their XMPP implementation on life support to this day, I would doubt, that federated XMPP would be a big player even then.

Also towards the end, Google Talk had less XMPP extensions then the rest of the XMPP federation. That’s the opposite of “Extend”.

Horror never really faced me, but the Lavender Town urban legend, Squidward’s Suicide and Sonic.exe all scared me shitless to the point, that these made more religious.

Have mercy with yourself.

Exactly. The fear-mongering against Threads here on Lemmy is just insane.

People just spread some vague memes about XMPP, EEE, general facebook controversies and misinformation on how ActivityPub really works.

People list so many reasons here about how threads will destroy Lemmy, but most of these are just wrong or misrepresented.

Clarifications of everyone, including the ones by the Mastodon creator himself just get ignored here.

I mean I get it. We are an alt-platform. The mainstream is stinky and scary, but just don’t spread wrong information.

Time to become a Gulf Arab

Was Signal a bad experience for you?

I just don’t see it happening. There is already fragmentation between each carriers’ implementation of RCS. It is so bad that Google made their own servers for hosting RCS for Google Messages users.

This results in a situation where RCS messages send by Google Messages to another user of Google Messages have more features like e2ee which are not available if you use another app. RCS messages from Samsung’s app would for example not have this feature.

iMessage itself also has more features than RCS. Built in e2ee would be a big one, and aome other more vain ones. I am sure Apple could add even more features, until the EU will finally mandate RCS compatibility for everyone in 10 years.

RCS is just a slight upgrade of green bubble SMS, something like Signal or even WhatsApp would still be superior.

RCS is just a shit protocol, outdated before even arrival.

American Android users are part of the problem, because they refuse to use messenger apps and cling onto SMS as well

WhatsApp is more secure than SMS, but that is not a huge achievement. Signal probably is the best messenger that is both very secure and easy to use.

Some people prefer messenger platforms to SMS, because the default SMS apps on Apple and Android intentionally make cross-platform communication worse.

Messenger platforms on the other hand are more consistent and behave the same on every device.

RCS is also a walled garden. Embrace a messenger app that everyone could use today like Signal or Whatsapp

Problem are the Android users as well that refuse to adopt messaging apps just as much.

Standard protocol on Android is SMS as well. RCS behaves differently from carrier to carrier and many Android phones still don’t support it by default.

Even if RCS worked perfectly fine, if Apple doesn’t want to use it, than RCS is just as worthless as iMessage, when it comes to cross-platform communication.

I am devastated. At least MSN Messenger will never disappear.
