Fortnite is great, but Epic Games Stores app on Windows is abysmal. Not sure if I’ve ever used slower software than this.

>Telegram clearly fails to meet this stronger definition for a simple reason: it does not end-to-end encrypt conversations by default. If you want to use end-to-end encryption in Telegram, you must manually activate an optional end-to-end encryption feature called “Secret Chats” for every single private conversation you want to have. The feature is explicitly not turned on for the vast majority of conversations, and is only available for one-on-one conversations, and never for group chats with more than two people in them.

I’m trying very hard to move away from Telegram. I’ve already switched some conversations to iMessage, and I’m trying to get my wife to stick with Signal (though it lacks some crucial features for us). We’ll see how things go in a month. Ideally, I’d like to move everything to Signal or a combination of Signal and iMessage, but right now, I’m torn between Telegram, Signal, iMessage, and WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is something I won’t be able to fully get rid of—our entire family uses it, and since it’s encrypted, that’s sufficient for now (I’m aware of the metadata issues, but that’s okay for the moment). iMessage will stick around since I’ll be using iPhones for the foreseeable future. I don’t want to feel forced to use it, especially since I also use Windows and Linux, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
Life was easier when I didn’t care about Telegram’s encryption and privacy issues. Eh. EH.

Now I’m sitting and thinking if there’s anything I forgot to move from Windows to Linux (even though I didn’t “move”, I just installed it side by side and everything on Windows is still there). Also Windows is here to stay since I can’t play Warzone on Linux, so I will have to use Windows too and that’s fine. I just don’t want to use Windows everyday.

Tomorrow wil be my first day of using Linux only for Work. Not sure if it’s gonna work out but let’s see. I can always boot into Windows if needed.
Holy fuck.
Holy fuck.

Threads are fine in terms of being integrated with ActivityPub, but holy shit if this isn’t an engagement hell. Because I see how this app tries to hook me in I can’t (and will not) use it.

I’ve been tracking calories for about six weeks now, and it’s both obvious and interesting that whenever my macros lean heavily towards carbs, I end up eating more than on days with a higher protein intake.

On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.

I’d even wish it was Chrome but I don’t trust them at all. Brave probably, maybe Arc if they sort out their Windows app. This would be great, to not care about system at all but be able to do everything I need in just a web browser.
Good thing I’ve bought that powerful PC with lots of RAM. I’m gonna need it.

I’d actually love to have all of my life in a web browser. Just that. The web browser. Maybe this is something I should explore more? It’s definitely doable. Or is it?

I’d love to buy myself an Android phone and my wife even said that I should go for it, but I can’t, yet. I’m gonna wait for someone to finally add something like MagSafe (Qi2?) so I can use my wallet and powerbanks. And then I’m gonna change my watch from Apple Watch to something more system agnostic (Garmin?).
Only then, with wife’s blessing, I can buy an Android phone and feel like I’m not just putting money on fire.

Was just listening the Arc podcast (the one about browser) and it’s fascinating that Stripe entire work-stack will be enterprise Chrome only. That’s bold but also VERY interesting.

There’s a good and bad part to it. Good part is that I’m going to just move everything to new, HomeAssistant-only server. Bad part – I’ve got to do it. I have to do “the thing”.
