Almost any messaging app is better, the question is what do your friends use, and can you get them to switch.
I’m a fan of XMPP because it’s an established protocol you can host yourself (if you wanted) - this removes untrustworthy providers.
It really comes down to what’s your goal?
And yet… Research has repeatedly shown it’s women who instigate relationship violence.
Ah yes, the inevitable downvoters.
It’s been well established. You don’t like it? Shame that.
No I’m not providing a source. Your anger should motivate you to look.
Here’s a place to start: which relationships experience the most violence: Male/Female, Male/Male, Female/Female?
Interestingly, the male/male is the least violent, and female/female the most violent.
'Nuff said.

So take your biases and fucking read.
Further, if men are the primary cause of violence in relationships then:
F/F relationships should show orders of magnitude less violence.
M/M should have the highest levels of violence and be orders of magnitude greater then F/M.
And yet none of this is true in any study.
I’m not seeing where that was said?
I’ve had better luck using MKV for my Samsung TV.
But yea, Mp4 is generally more compatible.
It’s shocking how little resolution plays into quality. I’ve re-encoded some videos down to 480 and played them on a 65" TV and they look fine.
I can also make videos look terrible by just trying to save space by reducing the quality level of the conversion while retaining high resolution (1080).
Planned obsolence via shoehorning crap connected tech into things that can run fine with controls from 1947 that will last 50+ years and are easily replaced with commodity components (relays) at any time.
The problem is they are almost never good, as everyone can read the same info 4x faster than someone can present it (best case), and 10x faster isn’t unusual.
Source: Former technical trainer - I’ve read a lot about instructional methodologies. Video is the lowest common denominator that’s all. It can be useful for things that have a visual component, and self hosting has very little of that.
Seems there are 2 kinds - video links with almost no text, just farming visits, and video links with a wall of text.
Both suck. Videos, in general, suck.
So much of what goes on here needs text, lots of it. Video is slow and cumbersome.
Give me your debit card pin.
Yep, parents are human.

I just loaded it, goes to the website linuxupskillchallenge.org
Hahaha, wtf?
I want to know how they built that water tank on the sand dune. Is there bedrock not too far down?
And this is part of why I root.
Only certain apps get network access, and only certain apps get to use Google services.
They’ll complain, some won’t work.
Next phone won’t have Google services at all, and untrustworthy apps will be sandboxed in their own profiles.
Like, turn off the iPad or iPhone?
Agreed.
1 bedroom? Look at Mr Fancypants over here!
Thats an efficiency my friend. Garden-level even!
Define share?
Keep all files in sync between two points?
Enable ad-hoc access to all files, or a subset?
I don’t see anything like this in search, even DuckDuck.
What do you have on that you see this? (Or what have I turned off?)
I do use Ublock and Noscript, but they don’t list anything to block on search engines, really.
