I’m running it on a remote server.

Thunder is really slow otherwise I would consider it solid. Luckily Jerboa works fine on my phone and it is native.

I don’t personally want any affiliation with Microsoft, someone please do this, I’ve searched the issues and there are no opening issues about this one.

Oh yeah, can’t wait

Self-host yourself is the safest option, I do.

SearXNG, there’s nothing much else to say.

Liftoff’s UI is pretty terrible but the functionality and the snappyness of it is absolutely the strong point.

There three are really bad choices

It can be if there are enough clients supporting the Matrix protocol, as it currently stands though most people will just use Element the official client, and those big techs are mostly likely will never going to support it.

To keep posts, comments is unlikely to happen. Transferring the sub list and bookmarks or just exporting them should be in the near future, at least with 3rd party apps.

Always better off with SearXNG

Signal is okay as much as privacy is concerned, but it doesn’t solve all the problems with communications in real world. For instance its centralized design means it can be easily blocked, a private Matrix server on the other hand will not even make it on the radar.

I haven’t, but neither have I met any morden media content can’t be consumed comfortably with an above 1000nits rated, Dolby certified TV. Maybe I’ll have that movie a go, depending on whether it has a proper reproduction.

A better TV/monitor, rarely is the scene actually too dark.

I’m all in on Matrix, anything else has become irrelevant to me.

The new logo looks pretty good, the color in this particular picture looks off though.

The battery improvement with the S23 series is huge, you can pretty much cross off the other options, I do use the Pixel6 Pro.

You are missing the best one, wefwef

They are less invasive on the privacy front, but they also push their products much harder down user’s throat due to less revenue from less accurate ads, just look at DDG’s frontpage.

I also found them self-censoring towards IPs from China, albeit this could be the direct result of using Bing’s search results.

It’s much easier to compare it with something like SearXNG which has the same core principle, without ads, without censorships, without invasive marketing.

To me, Brave or DuckDuckGo are as malicious as Google
