I was sad once and then I realized that I cannot control my emotions and was forced to remain sad

What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?

Matrix is more like discord, no phone numbers, just email, and you can make big groups with different channels within. More meant for communities then something like Signal, that’s mostly for 1:1 conversation or small groups

What advantage would it give me over other services? Keeping the discord example i said above, no tracking, possibility to have end to end encryption, and open source code, along with the ability of having different instances that can communicate to each other, just like here on lemmy, so if you don’t trust anyone else you can run your own instance

Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that’s still fully in development?

It’s mostly good already, but as with many other privacy focused services it lacks a wide adoption, so most of the communities there are about privacy, Linux and that type of stuff.

How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?

The most used client, Element, is IMO very easy to use, you can directly register through there, and you get the choice of choosing between the official matrix.org instance (which on certain occasions is laggy due to the many people using it), or other instances

although you gotta admit it’s gonna be funny seeing “Google Reactor” on killedbygoogle.com

I see you’ve removed your link, but before it was linking to a scam stream

more of a flood then a river /s

FYI they advertise it as “electrolytes” because it’s full of potassium and has next to no sodium, which is the main thing you lose when sweating, and they do that to say it’s sodium free while still having “electrolytes”

and in 10 years time, it’s gonna be 10 years away

Just use solar (and renewables in general, but not everybody has a river or wind), there’s no need to create more energy from fusion when you can just harness the energy created and shoved to us by the sun

this is how i imagine EDC people carrying their 31 gadgets without a backpack

the 3d printing part is only aesthetical, people have been taking their lifes by just using a bag or whatever else can contain the nitrogen from a tank

As a chemist,

Air: A Sabatier reactor uses CO2 and Hydrogen to make methane and water, then the methane can be heated in an oxygen-less atmosphere (pyrolysis) to get hydrogen and elemental carbon, and you can electrolyze the water to get oxygen and hydrogen. the hydrogen from the methane pyrolysis and water electrolysis is enough to use again in the Sabatier reactor, while the oxygen can then be used again to breathe.

For the food: A bit harder, for a closed loop like for the air you would need to chemically recycle pee and poo which IS possible, just insanely complicated (and gross, and dangerous).

A better method for food, if you had access to water, would be to turn water into steam, then use the elemental carbon from the Sabatier reactor and the steam to make syngas.

Once you have syngas, make Methanol with it, and then convert the methanol to Formaldehyde with a catalyst.

Once formaldehyde is obtained, use the Formose Reaction to make various sugars.

Then, use the sugars to eat or to feed animals/plants.

Idk about other stuff tho, all the proteins, vitamins etc

it could probably be possible to make them with genetically modified yeast/bacteria that feed on the sugar, but AFAIK this doesn’t exist yet (the above part of air+water to sugar is possible with current technology, tho)

sounds like what autocorrect would say when you click the suggested word over and over

How people are so confident in sharing their DNA, something you cannot change, that you will carry on for your entire life, and that can uniquely identify you with just a small sample, to a private, profit-driven company still amazes me

And the worst part is, even if you’re careful about it, all that’s needed is a relative doing it and now the company can basically tell most of your family tree

And all for what, knowing the parents of the parents of your parents come from some neighboring country? No shit, Sherlock, people move around
