  Maybe it’s based on this: en.wikipedia.org/…/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

  Beeper is a matrix bridge packaged for user-friendliness. It also includes SMS/RCS, which is handled natively and does not use bridging.

  For how I use it, it isn’t much of a concern. I use mine for SMS/RCS, Discord, and native Matrix. Discord is already poor on the privacy front, and I trust the Beeper app more than the actual Discord app.

  Matrix bridging does add a step to comms (going between the Matrix network and whatever other network) that some have expressed concern over. From my own research, and the general consensus over on the numerous Reddit posts, while it is true that it adds a step to the process this doesn’t involve any unusual vulnerabilities. The app itself seems secure and does not display old/previous messages on unauthenticated logins. I.e. you have to log in and then verify the session either by linking to another verified session or using a recovery key.

  If you have a messaging platform that you have selected specifically because of its superior privacy features, this is one of those “do your own research” moments. You may wish to stick to the native app rather than running it through Beeper. Alternately, you can self-host the Beeper bridging, though that is a little beyond my skill level and wouldn’t benefit me.

  V-Rising, Valheim, No Man’s Sky, Palworld, Enshrouded, Conan Exiles.

  Minecraft is probably the quintessential survival game and has a significant modding community.

  In a row?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp appears to have ads now. Good thing I don't really use it anymore.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You could use Beeper to connect to Whatsapp messages (messaging only, no calls).

  I refuse to put the Discord app on my phone and use Beeper for it instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s rough. I tend to cycle in and out of games (particularly ARPGs).

  Paid DLC content acts as a deterrent to me going back to a game that I only play fairly casually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Horizontal progression. Relatively flat power curve, but you gain more options.

  Guild Wars 1 is a really good example of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I played on a Half Life (the first one) deathmatch server that had a grappling hook mod. It was awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems fairly common among the survival games genre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting in on the library craze with the Reading Rainbow guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand. I’ve digitized almost everything I can, primarily for convenience and to reduce clutter. But the book (as a physical object) can be part of the appeal.

  My partner has mostly digitized her book collection but does retain physical copies of her favorites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FACTS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, they received it for, not from

  Buy deeper sheets, give yourself some extra fabric to work with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting in on the library craze with the Reading Rainbow guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do digital books scratch the itch for you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My theory is that exclusives along with games that lack cross-platform play (i.e. friends not being able to play together) lead to animosity.

  Or actually sitting in the smoking section because your folks are smokers. Blech!

  That smell gets on everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just going to say it: YouTube really started going to shit when professional, monetized YouTubers started becoming a big thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There aren’t really any alternatives.

  I’m ok with YouTube due to using strong ad-blockers, browser extensions, and I don’t log in. Seems that these 3 things cut most of the bullshit.

  If I couldn’t use onions or garlic, that would be a dealbreaker

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am always prepared to move into this version of life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  PC or GTFO!

  Everyone driving slower than me = doesn’t know how to drive

  Everyone driving faster than me = crazy, reckless driver

  How I wish active noise cancellation was a thing for rooms rather than just headphones.

  This would be a game changer for people in multi-family housing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop-up Amazon TV ads despite charging people monthly fees for their ad-free plan.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ad-blockers are a must

  The only time I see ads are when I’m streaming something live. And that’s because they have actual commercial breaks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Discord is not the right platform to use as a forum.

  Quit trying to make it happen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would I sound taller if I gave my height as 6'-4"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do it like people do with the time: e.g. 8:45 => quarter to 9.

  Spaceballs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bonus: if you have multiple gamers in your household, Steam family sharing can really shine compared to having multiple Gamepass subscriptions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Game Pass is (was?) good for some gameplay patterns and bad for others.

  It doesn’t fit my preferences, but I can see why it is appealing to others.

  We all knew enshittification was coming, but it spooled up faster than expected.
