Okay. Plants instead of trees. It was a false friend, thanks for pointing out. Striked tree out for good measure.
Cotton is cheaper. It grows on trees plants, which implicate better availability and easier procurement.
The prices are the way they are because it is real wool, which doesn’t grow on trees. If I take a look at other wool pullovers/sweaters from other companies they range from 80-130€ some peeking at about 200€.
So it is that particular material and thus product, not the company that is pricy.
Companies also use Threema for secure company chat. But again, my point was: Matrix is not the solution to any use case. That simple.
I know german schools forked fluffychat for their students. Also German Army opted for Matrix/element. Still, all on an organizational level.
It was and is, all the time (since day one at r/buyFromEU).
The question is: what is it an alternative too? Slack, rocketchat, mattermost… WhatsApp, Threema, Signal.
They got different selling-points and making an account and fiddeling with verifying clients is none of WhatsApp or Signal.
I would like it very much as an organizational chat solution, but I would wan’t to onboard clueless users like my family 😬
A bit more explanation from whom?
I really struggle with so boild down posts as Signal, Threema and Matrix are the three that get mentioned a lot lately, but they aren’t equally easy to use, nor is their feature set equal.
For example: in terms of data privacy I would rate them Matrix, Threema, Signal. In terms of usability and ease of use Signal, Threema, Matrix. Also Matrix works more like a business chat replacement (e.g. for slack, teams, …).
Using all three actively, I often get the feeling that recommendations are not based on the needs of the people the recommendation is made for. 99.99% of the users just want to have a messaging App without instances and login procedure. And I’m quite sure a vast part of those using Lemmy are already in the remainder that know about Matrix 😅
Anyhow, for everybody else there are nerdy overviews like https://www.messenger-matrix.de/messenger-matrix-en.html
Might be a case of bad wording, as far as I know they are obliged to provide 5 years of updates (if they want to sell in EU).
Gonna be honest, bluetooth ain’t the answer either. The Logitech protocol has less latency. Cannot tell if you need that or not.
Really. They are just perfect for me.
What does the size matter, when you’re gaming? Are you pulling a hoodie over the head to get better GTA vibes 🤣?
Bur on a serious note: when in doubt, just head to a well sorted electronics market and some them for yourself.
About 380g. Weight never bothered me with them.
Gaming? → Logitech! That was easy.
I’ve got G935ers.
In my opinion the previous generation (seen at a friend’s place) had a better build quality, and this gen has (some by now known) weakspots, but I assume later generations have fixed them by now.
I’m rocking them since year, they are really comfy with glasses.
Ehm. But they are regular headphones, not tailored towards gaming.
I’ve been looking at them for a while now. Do you have any info, where the production/assembly takes actually place?
In a meeting you get break away rooms, where little teams can form and work. The instances has a place for any country, where people can exchange their ideas. They can then come together in a meta community like buyFromEU/buyEuropean . I like that idea very much.
The European domain and European breakway room has some appeal and might meet the zeitgeist. Actually I’ve proposed the same to some admins but didn’t follow through.
For now it is only one person trying to generate content to be attractive. I’m sure strategy will change in time.
Yea. I’ve seen that. In my opinion the person bringing content into the community has the responsibility to make something meaningful with it. E.g. start a conversation or get information and engage with the people.
If you’re just adding links, thats fine, too. In the end, links are a way to bring attention to something worthy or funny.
I‘m sure one of Musk’s underage geniuses will take over as a oneman-army 😂
