  • Man Jedi knight games were the best. I still search online to see if there are any new Jedi games like Jedi knight or the force unleashed or Jedi academy.

    Only to be disappointed of course. There never is....

    Don't get me wrong. The Jedi survivor and Jedi fallen order games are good ( or at least I enjoyed them ) in their own right. But I miss the old ones. The latter ones are more dark souls in play style ( though not nearly as hard to luckily). Maybe it's rose tinted glasses.

    If I'd replay them now they might not hit that same spot. But still!

  • I bought the steam deck docking station and plugged that into my tv. I'm using a generic bluetooth controller to game from the couch.

    That works fine. I've even used it in that setup to stream a game from my PC through the steam link or whatever that was called again.

    That's a cheaper option, unless you're missing compute power or support on the steam deck.

  • Microsoft Authenticator might exclude GrapheneOS in the future due to root detection

    Jump

  • Agree for personal use.

    Professionally I've had situations where Ms authenticator was the only option because the only 2FA they allow is push notifications on the authenticator app. :(

    I even used freeotp+ for my ORG 2FA and aegis for my personal so I could easily keep them split ( and you can export / securely store the backups somewhere ).

  • This depends on settings I think. I've had that option not being available on a certain client where I could only use their authenticator app.

    Jump

  • Oh I fully agree. This wasn't to say we don't need a federated solution. It's simply that i did not find any FOSS solution which was readily available.

    I tried revolt in the past, but post rebrand their website doesn't even mention voice anymore. It might be there? The article somewhat confirms part of what I said ( not really many FOSS alternatives which are mature/fill the use-case, let alone distributed ).

    Matrix is mature enough but I've heard getting voice to work is not that straightforward. It's also not as simple as registering and building your space. You can self host it, but then you're responsible for hosting/security/patching/upgrades/... . Which is outside of a large audience their circle of interest. You could rent a matrix server, but that a quick search gives me servers around 50€/month. That is a pretty steep price just for some voice chat with friends. If there's a proprietary free version people will always just do that. The only ones who don't are people who do it out of principle.

    People will take the path of least resistance, and as it stands I feel proprietary software currently is ahead ( simplicity, features, maturity, ... ). The downsides obviously being the fact your data is being sold off. I'd not now then when they've reached critical mass and the VC are looking to squeeze to get their investment back with extras.

    I mentioned big tech, but I should have said proprietary as it's not necessarily a big tech alternative.

    But yes, I would love to have a distributed FOSS discord-like software I can use with my friends.

    But as it stands I can't even get people to move away from WhatsApp for signal despite the nightmare that is meta. Let alone convincing people to move to something less polished when their friends are using <other tool that is polished, but proprietary>.

    Let us hope comes up while there is still momentum.

  • I guess the main points are voice chat channels, community building, bots, free, chat capability as well.

    It was pretty attractive for gamers. Especially in the MMO section where you needed to get 20+ people in. Compared to in-game voice it was private as well, so you weren't talking for your entire lobby.

    It's not just a text chat app/IRC replacement. There's no calling, just voice channels. Hop in the voice channel to join if you want to play/talk. It was good.

    Looking at alternatives I still feel there's not a lot of competition for discord.

    Sure there's matrix, but from what I gather online it's not the easiest to set up ( at least the voice ), most people aren't interested in self hosting this stuff or paying for it. There's IRC, but that doesn't have voice chat. Slack/mattermost has voice, but you need to start a call and it doesn't support 30 people.

    Guilded.gg seemed to be a good competitor ( no experience ) but that has been discontinued. Now there's gamevox.com and rootapp.com that seem to be fighting for that market share.

    Moving from one big corp to another though... I've looked into self hosting a teamspeak6 server on my vps for friends. Max 32 people. And I'm losing resources on my vps for it.

    Discord was going to shite, but they're speeding up now.

    Sad to hear that's the direction it's headed for in the UK.

    Thanks for the insight!

  • While starting to actively block casting. Because you know, going to a vacation home and logging into a foreign device is a million times safer than just plugging in your own Chromecast.

    Forcing people to buy smart TVs so they can watch your content ( or enable the smart function so they might get bombarded with ads ) is great customer service.

    Just like telling everybody to share accounts with friends and family and then doing a 180 and complain that you're losing money over this and we should pay more.

    I have a hunch that 2026 will be the year off "piracy is skyrocketing once again and we have no idea why".
