But Fluxer is one dozens of platforms that do what Discord does. If it was the only one, it would be easier to move.
But as it is people who are on 20 discord groups don’t want to deal with migrating to 20 different platforms, so they’re just staying where they are.
My, probably very bad, understanding would be something along the lines of a shared, decentralized API. Almost like a specialized internet that only serves the functions of the apps.
The problem isn’t that there are no alternatives. It’s that there’s like 50 alternatives. Centralization makes us vulnerable, but it’s also super convenient.
There’s a reason we preferred reddit and now Lemmy instead of different forums with different logins for everything.
The biggest problem with getting off Discord is fragmentation of communities.
4mph is close to the maximum speed in downtown Austin traffic.
It’s Austin. The traffic is so shitty you can’t go fast enough to get in a wreck most of the time.
I live in the area, and can confirm anecdotally that the Teslas are bad drivers and the Waymos generally are excellent.
For me it’s for traffic. There’s about 4 major routes I can take between my home and office, and with different traffic changes (wrecks, construction, conventions, etc) the difference between them can be over an hour.
It’s why I can’t use Organic Maps despite being a contributor to OSM.
That’s what happens when the boomers refuse to let go.
I get it.
Our dachshund was born on my 40th birthday.
Rotisserie Chicken is cheaper than groceries. The expensive “luxury” is the grocery in this case.
Anyone else remember their Blade Runnder game?
That’s because they’re guaranteed to sell all the water when there’s a storm anyway. There’s a reason there’s laws against raising prices in an emergency.
He’s not saying use a grinder. He’s describing polishing as micro-grinding.
Different Arkane teams in different countries made Prey and Dishonored.
Prey was Arkane Austin, which was forced to make Redfall as a Live Service game to pump up the value of the companybefore being sold to Microsoft, leading over 70% of the Prey team to leave during the development.
Redfall flopped because Arkane Austin wasn’t a Live Service developer and they had zero interest in the game, and Microsoft closed the studio.
I have a very stubborn brain that will usually do the opposite of what I want.
My method is to try and turn on a movie or something I really have to pay attention to. I’ll start struggling to stay awake to keep track, and that will knock me out.
DMCA is interpreted very widely.
It criminalizes circumventing anything that could be used to protect copywritten information. So they just add copywritten stuff where it isn’t needed to criminalize anything they don’t want you to do. It’s why washing machines now have proprietary software and circuit boards instead of mechanical switches and why printer ink cartridges have chips on board.
Bilbo Baggins is in the files. By conflating “in the files” with “took part in the crimes” a lot of innocent people will be falsely accused.
And that’s the point.
Trump and team want so many innocent people to be called out that it provides cover for the guilty.
The response to this mess is gonna be everyone sticking with Discord, not because there’s no alternatives, but because there’s too many alternatives.
That’s not true. Packet loss is a thing. It’s the same reason some USB cables suck and others are awesome.
It matters in digital signals more than I expected.
A bad-quqlity HDMI cable over a long run will start getting a bunch of noise on some of my displays that shows up as random green specs popping off due to signal loss, whereas better cables will give a clean signal.
And back when more broadcasts were analog and I ran tech for a road show, I’d occasionally pick up random stations on poorly-shielded cables that would get amplified by powered speakers. The cables essentially became antennas. Though I haven’t run into that in over 20 years.
Poorly-shielded cables and speakers also used to have a lot of issues with cell phones. Anyone else remember the series of 3-beeps you could sometimes hear on speakers a few seconds before a phone in the room started ringing?
Look at quality employees like any other product.
Saying that good people are hard to find and don’t want to work anymore is like saying that since you can’t buy a 200" 8K TV for 90 bucks it means TVs don’t want to be bought anymore.
