  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says He Used to Snort Cocaine Off Toilet Seats: 'I'm Not Scared of a Germ'

    Jump

  • Sigh... We don't need your wild party stories from the 70s... Were already sifting through the mess of other officials at other problomatic parties... Oh, you did coke off a toilet seat last week?

    Thats explains a lot and not the flex you think it is anymore...

  • Its purely out of spite, plus, im not clicking anything.

    I run the full ad blocking suite anyway and see more ads watching a sportsball game with the family than I do on my home network over the course of months.

    1. I dont see the ads
    2. The data they generate is wrong and random, if that is used to train AI it runs the risk of poisioning the model.
    3. The site Im on gets paid by the ad vendor, even though the interaction is fraudulent.

    I call it a win-win

  • Two US Navy ships collide at sea sparking military probe

    Jump

  • This isnt really news, this looks like an operations cockup that injured two sailors. Not a "the US Navy is the biggest dick on the seas" or a "The ship with the higher tonnage has the right of way" issue.

  • Exactly, its data poisioning.

    If someone is trying to build an ad profile on you (even if you personally dont see the ads) then it feeds them junk data instead of real date.

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • Matrix and Teamspeak are the big ones, ive seen people talking about XMPP and other self-hosted solutions. The real issue people are waking up to is that if you dont host your communication tools, you dont own them.

    The self-hosting community is buzzing with people spooling up their own services and getting ready to abandon discord. If you or people in your circles need help setting stuff up, just ask. Plenty of helpful nerds and guides are around.

  • After what happened in Nepal last year, this 100% tracks with the dystopian narrative we are currently living. The powers that be saw a small country use it as a tool to affect change. To me, and tell me if I lm jumping to conclusions here, its obvious as to why this policy change is happening at all, to prevent the site from being used in that manner again.

  • Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?

    Jump

  • Its pretty similar to Lemmy or anything else in the fediverse, someones full user name includes their home server.

    Your admin just needs to have configured the service to except comminication from other servers and not just its internal users.

  • Teamspeak still requires a license above a small user size, but has multiple clients that can accomodate different target audicences. The TS3 client still looks like it did back in the windows 7 days and the TS5 client is just copying discords homework (Not a clue what happend to 4 and I believe 6 is under development). Both use the same server backend and database structure so both work with one server and different user expirences.

    Mumble is still the gold standard for handling large user bases (there is a reason big EvE Online alliances use mumble). It will take longer to set up, the configuration is handled by the server, not through authorized user accounts like TS.

  • Dito (Synapse server), Element for desktop app and fruitphones, Shildichat for android (its lighter and has an adorable turtle as a mascot).

    And seconding the voice coms, the VOIP relay server is a huge pain to set up, same with the registration page. My nerd herd hosts a few services that federated to share services and the admin group just issues people accounts.

    TLDR: no... Were not using discord anymore, we have discord at home.

  • Dont knock matrix for being slow, it updates just as fast as anyone else's network speed is and it is focused on encryption and security. Given [gestures broadly to everything these days] people moving away from major platforms should really take into account their digital footprint and privacy.

  • Do it. They will have to find some ham-fisted legal mechinism to do it and it will further piss off his base.

  • IIRC there are fortresses in both, but obviosuly the yellow zones are more popular, for that exact reason (it is gear capped, so the impact of rich players is minimized)

  • Albions new FW is even more blobfest, but its much more objective and siege oriented after the update. Both games made a fast travel method for players to get to the front, and the timing is more like the alert system from planetside 2. Overall its a big improvment, you can expirence the big battles that the outlands are famous for, but there are no shot callers and people respawn if they get into the zone in time.

    EvEs frontlines are very similar, but without a dramatic fight scheduled every 2 hours.

  • I feel this in my space bones. Been in space since 2013 and can functionally do everything, burnt out in 0.0 about 6 years ago, but keep my sub up and occasionally do the solo roam when I fancy shitting in the space chereeos of my old targets.

    Gave albion more than a fair shake and will return every few months, I enjoy the routine of the player housing there and the new FW is a nice change of pace.

    EvE still holds a special place for me, but I really disconnected when I left reddit. The shitposting and memes of the subreddit really was the pulse of that game for me, I only wish the fediverse could have such activity, it really kept me connected

  • Nice, Ive only flown that ship a few times, it feels much to similar to the Orthrus after it was released. Space Lambo that only really shines after you throw money at its fit.

    Something too nice to drive for serious business, perfect for messing around in safe space with the nerd herd.
