always good to see people come around :)

you get so used to the toxic idea of people sticking to their guns no matter what on sites like these sometimes

Privately? Sure, basically impossible.

OP is saying they have to use it, and they want to most private option for their use case. Comments like this acting like privacy is all or nothing is a surefire way to stop people from being interested in online privacy.

Intense Pulsated Light

Similar to laser, but it doesn't last nearly as long and you can do it at home for a few hundred dollars. It's less effective though, and I'm still trying to make up my mind as to whether it's worth it or if I should just go straight for laser and skip the IPL bother.

You don't use the Mull browser do you? That caused this issue for me, and I fixed it by uninstalling and switching to another firefox based browser (it was a Mull issue not a firefox issue)

well... I'm a scottish-australian with black hair lmao, maybe I should look into it

it kinda was but it seems to be getting more popular again

the protocol has also changed a huge amount since google used it, but its still quite a small community as far as messaging apps go

I'm not sure, it might be on their website. I hope so.

Isn't Signal's whole thing that they reduce metadata as much as they can? What do you recommend? Matrix and XMPP certainly aren't options if you value metadata protection.

Telegram's servers are not open source. Telegram's client is. If you make a back door in a messaging software, you'd want to do it server-side which means the users can't tell if it's backdoored as Telegram's server's source code is not available.

Alternatively; Signal's server code is open source, so if they put a back door in it they'd either have to lie to their users, or publish the back door in their code.

For me I'm interested in it for four main reasons:

a) It's intuitive, even if you've never used Linux, while also being very customisable.

b) It's new. The DE world at the moment is almost entirely Gnome and KDE, with some XFCE and Cinnamon. COSMIC adds to it with their own coat of paint and a very clear, professional outloom on it and clear goals.

c) It's in Rust. I don't know Rust, but I know it's loved by the community and will bring in contributors as well as the bug-related stuff at compile time which is handy.

d) System76 needs to sell it. Normally I'm not a fan of companies being involved in my OS, but I like the way System76 does it: They make laptops that come pre-installed with Pop_OS! and then sell those, so while technically the hardware is their source of income they'll have to improve their software in actually meaningful ways for it to be appealing to customers. One of the best and also worst things about the open source community IMO is that there's a lot of very niche stuff- like how 7-zip supports selecting multiple items, compressing them, and then emailing the .zip all in one mouse click. Really cool for whoever wants to do that, but no one wants to do that.

Fair enough. I do think you can view it under a users profile in some Mastodon clients- but only upvotes, not downvotes.

Here is a video of me doing it on my phone with fedia.io: https://files.catbox.moe/nb5rx1.mp4 For some reason it wouldn't show me reduces (downvotes), though.
