Ah, I always assumed it didn’t actually do anything. That would be a very 4chan thing to say; “download this widget to totally pwn the man” and it doesn’t even do anything haha.

Oh man I forgot about LOIC haha. Did that actually do anything?
No, you get spam because the email protocol doesn’t stop spam. You could create a new email address but then you have to give that to everyone who might not appreciate yet another contact method they have to remember for you.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure DeltaChat uses PGP, which leaks all of your metadata to your email provider, ISP, and governments. It isnt private but is secure.
These days the best thing you can do is use Signal.
Cool concept but really sucks if you’re the only recipient using DeltaChat. Plus it comes with all the privacy drawbacks of email. And I get tons and tons of spam so anything I actually care about is quickly buried.
One summer when I was a teenager, my friends and I decided to take a road trip to the next town over. We packed up my old beat-up car and set off, eager for a day of adventure and mischief. As we cruised down the highway, windows down and music blaring, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of freedom and excitement. Little did I know that our carefree jaunt would take an unexpected turn in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
You know, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Helix; if it gets more people using modal editors then I’m all for it. Personally though, I haven’t seen a convincing reason to leave Vim yet.
The biggest reason though is that my editor works literally everywhere. Even without my custom vimrc, vanilla vim is hugely powerful, and to have that on every random server I need to access is a gamechanger for me. Even if all you have is Vi, you still have a very capable editor available.
I mean uh… Crushed by a boulder! Which on Lemmy means you’ll be downvoted into oblivion until they run you off the instance haha.
I think different people enjoy different social media types. I don’t really “get” microblogging either but there’s no denying its hugely popular.
:h pry
You can pry Vim from my cold dead hands.
Thank you for that information. This whole thing is fascinating to me.
Do you still have a conventional phone number? I have family that are too old/tech incompetent to use something like Signal but who must be able to get a hold of me if they need to.
What happens if you go over your data cap?
Why is it so cheap? Do they sell your personal data or something?
I have so many questions!
If you pay the entire statement balance every month then you don’t pay interest.
VoIP
Yes, but then you have no service when you’re out and about since you need a WiFi connection.
I use a different username on every website and on social media I change it fairly regularly.
So… yes?
Delta Chat
Sounds like you need to date better women.
Yes it uses your phone number. You now have the option to use a username though.
Personally, while I totally understand the criticism, this is not an attack vector I am concerned with. I want a private messenger that hides the content and metadata of my messages from ad companies, spying neighbors, and the government. Signal does all of this.
