For me, the benefit of discord is not the text chat but the voice aspect. With push to talk/voice activated transmission and low latency for gaming.

The voice features of matrix are more of a conference call thing.

Until this gets implemented in matrix (not sure if ever) I’ll continue hosting mumble (or TeamSpeak)

You can do a disk benchmark on the server to be sure

Switching power supplies (“bricks”) are generally more efficient than linear power supplies because they lose less energy as heat. that’s were the difference comes from. (Of course they have drawbacks as well, like increased noise)

Yeah but if the OLED screen has to display black (RGB 000), it turns off the diodes completely. But as you said, most dark modes have a dark grey background which doesn’t do shit (jerboa has a black option btw)

For oleds, it makes a difference and not an insignificant number of smartphones today use OLED screens.

However, if the microwatt-hour of battery saved by browsing a shitty website of a shitty company for a few minutes saves the planet is another story…

SimpleX seems cool, never heard of it before (they have bad SEO, I think the name doesn’t help)

Only thing that keeps me from using it right now is the missing multi device support. But apparently, that is something the devs want to implement sometime.

Have to keep an eye on it, thanks!
