  • Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification software after its code was found tied to US surveillance efforts

    Jump

  • Ive hosted my own TS3 server for well over a decade and matrix was spooled up this past year. They both are good products and server their roles, but they dont line up 100% with Discord and its user reach.

    I am hopefull TS6 gets the funding it needs to get out of beta and I wish the Fluxer dev the best (they are going to need it).

    What this whole discord debacle needs to teach people is how to be independent regarding your communications, data and their storage.

    Also, given the state of affairs and the lack of trust, I dont believe they are cutting them off. Assume the worst and do what you can to decouple from the platform I dont expect people to quit cold-turkey, but put in the effort, it takes a long time to degoogle yourself and given how ubiquitous discord was during the plague, I dont fault people for making sure lines of communication and contacts arnt broken.

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

  • There are a lot of people in positions of power whos paychecks rely on them not understanding things.

  • Senator Mark Kelly says he will 'seriously consider' running for president

    Jump

  • Then my only hope is that if that comes to pass, and a progressive is not the democrat ticket, you show up and spoil your ballot. Those who do not participate give up the right to complan about it. Write in Batman, that is your right, but understand that being unwilling to compromise with the people who want mostly the same things as you do is exactly how we got here to begin with.

    Jump

  • Sigh... Beating my head on a brick wall. Hypothetical then: after all the politicing, the progressives fall flat again, how do you react if the general ballot is Vance vs Newsome?

    (Ive almost given up on you, but im still going to drive this point home)

  • You fail basic statistics and common sense, you are free to do what ever you want, but the US election cycle is a solved problem. Drawing a line in the sand inadvertantly supports everything you are against because you are not supporting the candiates who wont do MOST of those things. You let perfection be the enemy of progress and everyone is worse off for it.

    Vote for your candidate in the primary, vote against their opposition in the general. Tactical voting is most important right now, otherwise you get another GOP term.

  • Good news, UK Discord users, we're part of a Peter Thiel-linked data collection "experiment"

    Jump

  • For Matrix on android, I use Shildichat. Works great, very boiler plate UI and it keeps things simple. I will admit Element for everything else is fine... Enough.

  • Keep us posted on how Fluxer handles, I read their website/github and it looked fairly undercooked and their documentation needs help. The app probably works fine and the main host is likely in for a shock when with the flood of new users and I worry about them, it looks promising.

  • Lower 48 here, I make sure all the appropriate TVs at work (news channels) are set to Curling. Its the best winter olympics sport to watch. Firstly, because I can follow it. Secondly, because its players are frumpy dads showing the upmost concentration, not the herculean athletes blowing out the events condom supply. I find it relatable, and magical, those people are physics wizards, and I dont know how they do those that with shuffleboard on ice

  • What are tell-tale signs a series has jumped its shark?

    Jump

  • Its from the show Happy Days (1977) where Fonzie jumps over a shark while water skiing. Its considered the point where the show took a dramatic turn down hill and the term is still used in that manner today.

  • What is the most ridiculous conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • I feel like this chart covers most of them, but needs a different distinction. Which ones are fun to invoke in converstion to play off the crazy and obes that ate actually off the deep end.

    For example, chemtrails is a vintage conspiracy thory, its been around for a while and most people can casually make fun of it. I cant make jokes about half of that top row because most normal people just know what most of those words even mean, let alone the contents of the conspiracy.
