Wouldn’t Signal or SimpleX be a better alternative to Matrix?

Given the state of Matrix clients and Matrix is designed to be federated (plus self-hosting is not simple and requires it’s own security precautions).

Be aware that Brave is essentially a scam and there are other privacy-focused browsers that might suit your needs.

This is simply not true.

To add, you could have looked this up before posting a hostile comment on a relative newcomer's post. This is how linux communities develop reputation of being exclusive & unfriendly.

The Matrix didn't take itself too seriously in my opinion. You didn't see the Wachowski's flaunting their film as if it were some auteur bullshit like you might see Zack Snyder do today. They did something new and they did it well. So well that it permanently left a mark on the genre.

That’s quite an intentionally misleading headline @hal_5700X@lemmy.world

I completely disagree. Based off of your comment it seems that you did not absorb the article whatsoever.

There are many good examples in the article of Peterson presenting opinion as indisputable fact and obscuring ideas with complex language. Particularly when he is challenged based on those ideas.

Not to mention the examples of how he treats children and others. It is an absolutely wild read. Lengthy but eye-opening.

Edit: it also exposes how the ideas that his core philosophy is built on are simplistic at best and often flat out wrong or intentionally disingenuous.

I’m sharing this article because it changed my perception of Jordan Peterson, and exposed him as intellectually dishonest at best and more likely a fraud artist. Starting with essentially his dissertation. It is a long read but it is incredibly well researched and written:

Not only does Jordan Peterson say dumb inflammatory shit, but he’s also apparently an intellectual fraud.

What I said and what you said are not the same thing.

However, you win the gold medal for mental gymnastics.

Language will evolve naturally over time. But to claim that hoping your children are intelligent/physically healthy is a form of eugenics is absurd. If QAnon was left-leaning, this is the kind of shit they would say.
