What does this mean?

Damm, didn't know that, good to know

Well, Signal isn't federated either, and doesn't have a fediverse-like technology like Matrix does...

 

Okay, we know that the US can't be trusted because it's political compass wil lalways be changing. So what now? We need to organize, but how? Volt Europa is pretty weak and several people I have met have expressed dislike for them, the EU is gonna be reactive instead of proactive towards threats as always, Elon is trying to buy out more parties in EU...

How to proceed? Anything to do that doesn't seem hopeless, like voting for paneuropean parties, or leaving US based platforms for EU based, less developed platforms (like Peertube instead of Youtube, or Matrix instead of Whatsapp?

I wish EU was stronger and both the EU and its citizens (and netizens) les reliant on external services (like youtube, reddit, whatsapp, discord, etc.), and I want to do something about it, but I feel completely lost and hopeless.

To be honest, Russia-Ukraine's war is at EU's doorstep, meanwhile Israel-Palestine's war is in middle east. I think that's at least one reason.

step 4. realize that, quite literally, the only way to fight fascism is to use their tactics agains them because fighting in good faith hasn't worked at all. Propaganda, bought out politicians, rules for thee but not for me...

Y'all need "I did that" Trump stickers like the ones that were put next to gas pumps with Biden

Wouldn't Matrix be a better alternative to Signal, since it doesn't need a number? Maybe it has a too difficult learning curve to the average user, though

Yeah, it is already hard to find reasons to use it for the average user, so people with disabilities (deafness, blindness,intellectual etc.) probably even have reasons to NOT use them (no subtitles, each instance might have different elements or structure that might be a nightmare for screen readers, it might be too complex for some people, etc.).

Apart from that, it has to compete against the content monopoly Youtube has on the video platform industry.

So, is Matrix like halfway between Whatsapp and Discord? I downloaded it and I still don't know much about it (not like I have ANYONE I know to test the app with). I felt like it was more Whatsapp-like

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I want to get into TTRPGs (Cyberpunk 2020, DnD,etc.), but I'm completely clueless as how to navigate the topic.

  • I know I have to find a group of people to play with

  • I don't have any minis, dice, free table for playing..., would I need to get anything of that? Could Google dices do the trick?

  • How is it played? What is the cycle of a one-shot/adventure/campaign? How does the role-playing happen, taking turns between DM and players? Do the players tell an action their character is doing and the DM says wether it's allowed, wether they have to roll dice, or tells them what happens next?
