   But is it sustainable? China has been (like most western countries) creating a ton of debt to make that happen.

   There are many ways GDP is being "padded" (by excluding certain liabilities for example), things like unemployment numbers as well. The "true" economy has been stagnating or in a downward trend for at least a decade alre

    Another mind flip: the scarce resource isn't labor - but energy . Edit: A gallon of oil is equivalent to roughly 400 hours of human labor. Manual work is nothing compared to the energy contained in fossil fuels (or external energy s

    Exactly. Just reading those quotes (haven't read the linked article) leads me to think that you can't ignore the huge liabilities comprised of education, medical care and pensions.

    I had this with one contact as well, the message on Android was Bad encrypted message and on desktop it was Error handling incoming message .

    > the availability of documentation doesn't mean it can't be intuitive Sure, I'm not saying that either, and Matrix has been improving a lot since I first tried it maybe 2 years ago. But there's still a long way to go

    Yeah I was very positively surprised to find that the desktop app has a large number of useful keyboard shortcuts: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360036517511-Si...

    Well if you think about sending this to your aunt: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Matrix Compared to installing the Signal app and verifying your phone number over SMS, the difference is quite remarkable. Signal has had smooth an

    For me it's the other way around, haven't had any banners or anything on Android, whereas the desktop client has, and messages have been throwing 50x errors, while the mobile messages just seem to take ages to send.

    Exactly. There's no reason to run your own server aside from supporting the decentralized nature of it (or wanting to be 100% in control).

    You'll get disappointed once you actually start using it. Unfortunately. There are so many quirks, inconsistencies, poor UI/UX. I've been using Matrix for maybe a year now with a group of techie friends and I would definitely

    One problem with this approach is that Youtube's search just feels so bad (at least compared to what you expect out of Google) and what's worse, they limit the number of search results. So you get around 10 somewhat related resu

    Thanks for the details/clarifications! I haven't lived in Finland for a couple of years so haven't really stayed up to date.

    That would be 35-40€ (cheapest brands) in Finland. This is why booze runs to Estonia (much lower taxes) are so common.

    Not sure what you mean by "success"? In Finland at least so many people (especially from the south) regularly (pre-COVID at least) take the ferry to Estonia to buy alcohol in bulk because of the insanely high alcohol taxes. If tha

    Even calling it "maintenance mode" is a bit too generous. It's effectively abandoned. Which is a shame, I really liked it and its various features.

    This I've experienced as well, plus various UI/UX glitches and inconsistencies. It's getting slowly better though it seems.
