It’s certainly different, but for signal users who want to maintain that level of privacy, it’s probably something they want, right? From their perspective this is probably a good decision.

I’m indifferent because I’d personally rather have interoperability and Beeper gets the job done.

I’m indifferent, since I’ve got both installed, there’s no escaping having to use WhatsApp in many countries around the globe. If I want to keep in touch with family/friends then only one or two contacts use signal, for everyone else it’s WhatsApp or the alternative is SMS.

I just run Jellyfin in a bookmarked browser shortcut on WebOS. Never had any issues.

Certainly won’t be as good a year as 2023.

That would probably be because your instance is different. Lemmy.world has recently blocked VPN traffic apparently because of bad actors uploading CSAM behind VPN. I also had issues with Lemmy with my VPN this week and either need to split tunnel or need to browse Lemmy as view-only.

I prefer manuals, they’re more fun to drive, but the future is inevitably automatic with EVs.
