I remember listening to a podcast from a NYT reporter near the start of the Russia/Ukraine war. This lady went to Russia and started interviewing draftees right outside of the recruitment offices.
May not be a war torn battlefield, but that definitely takes some balls.
It basically is. AFAIK, there’s no browser based way for steam chat, Google messages, or snapchat. I’m sure there are others too.
The biggest advantage I can think of is notification integration. The ‘tabs’ do give notification counts. You can minimize to the system tray so it doesn’t have to be open. It would be seperate from your web browser, so if you have 30 tabs open like I do it’ll be less cluttered. But it’ll send notifications to the desktop with snippets of the message, like a popup on your phone. Also, even if you clear all your cookies/browser history etc., since it’s seperate from the browser, you don’t have to worry about logging in again.
I use ferdium.
It’s combines every app/website I want to be connected to. Snapchat Lemmy Element Gmail Google tasks Discord Google messages Mastadon Steam chat FB messenger Proton mail Microsoft teams Telegram Slack Github Icloud
You can even add custom services, although I haven’t tried to do it. The only one missing is signal.
It is desktop only though
Here’s something I find interesting.
Firstly, the definition from Wikipedia: Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material (the fuel) in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
For all you bad cooks out there, the reason you can’t burn water when you’re cooking is because water is already fully oxidized. Water is also often one of those reaction products the definition talks about.
I other words, you can’t burn water because it’s already burnt.
This is the main reason I used infinity on reddit. I’ve found a good site is scrolller.com
Might be a good substitute for you.
When I was in the navy I went to a barcade and decided to buy around 1000 little army men. I managed to hide about 200 of them and I still have buddies telling me they found another.
