I liked using Matrix. I was lazy and didn’t fully set up the configuration. But it was really easy to replace discord with Element.

I’ve seen comments complaining that Element is the most used and if everyone uses Element it’ll be vulnerable to bad actors.

I like that I get to host the file and data myself. In my perfect world the local Internet Service Provider Co-op would host a matrix server so the town could still communicate/talk in case my town loses connection to the big city.

Collective ownership would likely be the solution there.

Why yes I do believe you are correct. In my opinion Collective Ownership of the means of production would be a great solution here. We could like… Build greenhouses around the data centers! Or even better; Build the greenhouses upwards over the data centers. Five story greenhouse heck yeah.

Or we could just you know… stop using the data centers. :|

p.s Why do we not capture the steam coming out of nuclear reactors cooling towers? I’m to lazy to look it up.

I guess I’ll be the devil’s advocate today. 😈

I’ve seen some pretty serious phone “servers”.

I personally think that turning a phone into a device that can stay on 24/7 should be easy enough.

Finding software that works on your phone’s hardware… that’s a whole different beast. 😬

Sometimes I wonder if Austin Powers could make another movie where the main heroine he works with is a trans woman.

Also one of the main henchman is a beefy/huge trans man. And there’s a scene where Austin tries to kick the henchman in the balls. And the henchman just smiles and laughs and proceeds to beat up Austin.

I couldn’t tell ya how the rest of the movie would go but I thought I’d be interesting to see.
