XMPP with the OMEMO extension is close, no? While Matrix isn't distributed, it is decentralised like Lemmy and Mastodon, and E2EE by default. That could be the closest thing to what you mean?

XMPP; an open protocol that can be as basic as IRC or extended to support everything Telegram does and more. Decentralised (since it's a protocol), and E2EE through OMEMO or by encrypting with PGP client side is something your provider can't even have control over.

I did not mean it like that, at all.

You leave a comment saying these are special and all the others are more or less the same, but don't explain how that's the case.

I am genuinely asking.

(also sorry for posting thrice, internet issues)

How are each of those special? And how are others, inc. Gentoo, almost the same?

That's such a cool backstory, thanks!

They need somehow a way to earn there living expanses ?

Crackers don't do it for a living lol
They're normal people with normal, often 9-5, jobs; who just bought a gamr and want to help more people get their hands on that game even through pay walls and region restrictions.

I would if I could!

I will say, there's something scary about crafting your own medicine, I'd expect medicine to be highly precisely crafted in labs by highly educated professionals and that it'd be difficult and perhaps dangerous to make and take your own medicine. I could be wrong.

The things they write in the article are amazing, people can make their own life savine cure to hepatitis C for about 70 USD for their whole home made treatment, that just works? It seems too good to be true without any caveats.

Oh and, final thought, “Four Thieves Collective”? They really don't beat around the bush. I like that

Also, sidenote, 8.3MP camera does not mean the outputted image is that large.

I know someone with a smartphone with 108MP single camera, it has a bad lens but compresses the capture into a sharper 2k picture. Most digital (phone) cameras work this way.

But yeah, you don't see 4k image unless your screen is 4k, as they said.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sometimes the compression is not great, and 4k compressed on the fly might look visibly sharper then whatever 1080p version they offer. I've noticed this with YouTube videos sometimes.

That said, I've seen too many tech illiterate people go for 4k video not realising they also need a 4k screen. Or complaining their 4k console doesn't look 4k, not realising the game also needs to output it

First off, the packages and libraries on the AUR are not scanned, and not all packages and libraries are well tested or maintained there, especially when building from their source yourself instead of relying on their releases. The more you install that way and the more depends on it, the more points in your system are likely to fail.

Your distro's repos might not have everything and be a bit out of date at times, but they are scanned and usually better tested and maintained. Usually, not always.

I wish it could build front ends fornme so I could focus on database, backend and devops
