Camera: GrapheneOS's camera app. Have been my camera of choice ever since I've discovered it. Never had an issue, offers all the basic features you would expect from a camera
Meta: just making sure that anyone that reads this comment is aware of the existence of Obtainium!
Obtainium allows you to install and update Apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.
Yes, that was fast, but this is partly because of the introduction of channel giveaways a few months ago: channel owners can gift premium subscriptions to their subscribers, which will be randomly selected by Telegram (you don't need to opt-in). The channel will then be awarded the giveaway winners' boosts, that will let it unlock some additional features
That means that after some months, the giveaways winners will have to decide whether to renew their premium subscription or not (which was gifted to them: they might not be as interested in Telegram's premium features as paid users that decided to subscribe on their own). The current number of subscribers might be a spike caused by the novelty of giveaways. It's unlikely that the trend of gifting premium subscriptions will continue to generate this much revenue, but we will see. For sure this is a very convenient moment to decide to release some numbers on premium subscriptions ;)
!veganism@lemmy.ca is here to cater to vegans, not people who are curious about vegans and want to interrogate them about things that they could much more easily discover from the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article
Originally, this was this community's intent too. The rules in the sidebar are willingly shallow about this kind of posts because at some point we decided not to be too strict with submissions, considering that there wasn't that much activity and the mods were mostly afk . So posts like this are tolerated unless they become an omnis cicrclejerk/backpatting fest
yes, https://www.telegram.org/apps lists both, but if you open web.telegram.org, you will be automatically redirected to one of the two apps without being given the choice. The differences are not listed because the two apps are supposed to offer more or less the same features, and anyway nobody's keeping track of them. As far as I know, also, the two developers are given great freedom in deciding which secondary features to implement (these webapps are not yet mature to actually replace the desktop client) so this makes keeping track of the differences a little more difficult.
You are basically not supposed to chose, choice is for those who are actively following the development of the two apps, apparently 🤷
If you want to get an idea of which client to pick, have a look at their telegram channels, they publish nice changelogs:
Yes, they are two different apps actively developed by two different people (A source code, K source code). They are the two winners of a contest Telegram held a few years ago, but they haven't' decided which one will be the default/standard webapp yet, so you can use both. I think web.telegram.org still picks a random one for you the first time you access it
On any platform, you can use the lens icon to search for messages. Once you tap/click on it, an user silhouette 👤 icon will appear. It allows to filter messages from a specific user, yourself included
If by "channel" you mean "channel", then there's no way to know which of the posts in the channel were sent by yourself, since they all appear as they were sent by the channel
If you want to see a list of all messages you've sent across all chats, then there's no way to do that unless you script something using the users API
At the time I knew what the fediverse was and I was using Mastodon quite consistently, and I was waiting for a federated alternative to reddit. Raddle at the time was already a thing, but federation was not on their roadmap.
As per how I found it... here's a comment from four years ago :)
The activity is being served a meal, not being served a meal with the ingredients you want. It looks like you're intentionally driving the conversation toward a useless semantics debate. Nobody's left out from a cafeteria serving plant-based food only.
I am not a weed smoker even thought I smoke weed occasionally (a few hits once every couple of months I guess, only when it's offered, I've never had a joint alone at my place), but I've tried many different drugs and some of them I use more frequently than others.
I've always been interested in drugs and I've spent some time on Erowid even before trying them for the first time, and the one drug that I wanted to try more than any other was mdma because of all the great experiences I've read online, and also because I am a big fan of 90s electronic music, and some genres are historically linked to ecstasy usage.
When I've finally been able to try mdma at a techno party, unfortunately I dosed too much (I perfectly knew what was the recommended dosage, the crystals we used were tested and weighted - unfortunately I misunderstood what my friend told me about the dosage in the bag he gave me (two doses instead of one) and I don't remember the whole night. But I had a blast nonetheless, and this experience made me want to try to explore drugs. It's definitely the experience that showed me that the altered state that you experience while under the influence of these substances is worth exploring, especially if you're doing it with other people.
Finding drugs was not a problem at all at the time, because legal techno parties in big cities such as Milan were full of drugs. But I didn't fully trust what dealers were selling, and even when my friends brought their substances to the party I never wanted to try them because of the the place - it wasn't that easy to find a quiet spot with no people where to isolate, and I was a little paranoid. For some reason we never organized to try them before or after a party, probably because I've always felt shy being the only one that was trying a specific substance for the first time, even if there was nothing to be shy about and my friends were fully supportive. Anyway, I really started to use substances when I started to go to freeparties. They last 2-3 days, you can do drugs pretty much anywhere, you go there with your tents so you have your safe spot where to isolate or cooldown or do whatever you want. At parties I've been able to try many different drugs - ketamine, 2cb, speed, cocaine, dmt, some RCs - and for a long time, I limited my drugs usage to parties only. I kinda still do actually, but sometimes I bring home a gram of ketamine that I use alone, and I have quite some speed lying around that I've used before some social gatherings, but I still mostly use at parties.
Luckily when I entered the drugs world, I already knew the basics and the harm reduction guidelines about every substance I wanted to try. I think I've always been very responsible with them, and the fact that I am the "harm reduction" guy of my friends group (I always bring with me a full reagents test kit, saline solution, straws to cut, magnesium, NAC, all that kind of stuff) kind of pushed me to act as the responsible drugs nerd (even if I'm not a drugs nerd, and in my friends group there's definitely people who know more than me about psychoactive substances).
I have never tried LSD or shrooms because in so many years I've never felt comfortable with the environment/surroundings. With some friends we often discuss to organize together and go somewhere in the mountains and take LSD, but none of them is a big psychedelics fan so :(
I don't plan on quitting because I think my usage is not problematic, and I like doing drugs. The one drug that I would have a hard time quitting forever, btw, it's caffeine. I am not operational without it if I don't get a full 8 hours of sleep (eg. workdays). I try to limit coffees to <=2 per day, but sometimes I have more, even when I know I don't need them. It's not much at all, and the fact that I usually don't drink coffee during the weekend shows that I can live without it no problem, but I hate the fact that I need it so much to start to be productive, even after I bike to work. I will soon try to gradually phase it out using tea
