It’s your proposed solution that’s the problem. The answer isn’t to make Discord public, it’s to convince people to move off of it, and quite honestly, if you want people to leave Discord so badly, you’d be better off setting up separate public forums for the open source projects you are interested in on your own and convincing/bribing respected members of the Discord to post there, or copy/paste technical info there.

I feel the same way about Lemmy so I sympathize with you, honestly.

For open-source projects and stuff that needs to be public, I can feel you.

What these chucklefucks are asking for is to make ALL Discord content indexable and searchable, even extremely private intimate things, and that’s absolutely unacceptable.

No one wants their private/semi-private chats to be indexable or searchable. The whole POINT is to not have what you say broadcast to all and sundry.

Cars shouldn’t require cell phone towers to function. It’s a CAR.

The only way to stop it is to stop letting people play with strangers and to go back to local LAN sessions, or for games to be private only with temporary invite codes that have to be shared manually, with a maximum number of users allowed.

Online anonymity really has ultimately harmed us as a species and conferred little if any benefit.

Primitive, provincial knuckledragging Americans/Brits/Right-wing country’s citizens don’t want to learn C or understand how their computer truly works. 😆

Yeah. That tracks

Why would anyone using FOSS stuff like Linux even want shitty corporate games anyway?

I must be one of the few people on this platform who is genuinely okay and doing all right.

Wait, so there’s nowhere you can learn it now?

I just want to find out what this Super Switch that’s ostensibly coming out next year is all about

A computer with lists of winning lottery numbers, stock prices by day of all major companies, archived copies of webpages or, preferably, scanned in newspaper articles of all world events from 1999 until now, and lists of every politician and individual with net worths over $300 million.

Also patents for LCD screens, the microchips in use in the 10’s and now, the efficient solar panels China cranks out if I can get a hold of that information, modern efficient wind turbines, etc. Also important scientific papers written between then and now, especially for Ozempic and Wegovy.

Also, this might be the one practical use for dumb shit like Chat GPT and its ilk, so we’re bringing along a couple of GPUs and copies of each major open source AI I can scramble up.

I use this information to:

1. Hopefully prevent 9/11

2. Become filthy fucking rich

3. Infiltrate the elite and start bumping off motherfuckers one by one Count of Monte Cristo style

4. Distribute my ill gotten gains to the masses and use the rest to stop climate collapse

Where do you learn this… Cobol?

Because you won’t do anything to hurt their bottom line, basically.

Stop eating at Taco Bell and make your own damn tacos at home. Better yet, go buy some from a family-owned taco truck instead.

Mosquitos. Also bedbugs. Any insect that feeds on blood really

It’d be better to have the three-sink setup they have in commercial kitchens which are stacked next to each other so you can move a dish to the next without dripping water all over the counter.

That’s a terrible idea. You’d pay more than an entire paycheck just to play a typical JRPG which typically have 40+ hours of gameplay. I’m not paying $600 to play one game.

This is developers incrementally conditioning you to accept an even worse state of things for games. And if they follow through, I’ll pirate their shit and never give them a dime of my money again.

Facial recognition doesn’t work and is racist. Like, it actually is extremely ineffective against dark-skinned people.

They do, they just willingly choose not to or they support the oligarchs. We have bills to pay yet we’re willing to take the time to understand how things work, so they have no excuse

Then those of us who at least try to care need to break away from the ones that don’t and go form a separate society. We can’t allow sheep and rabble to continue to hold unchecked power over the rest of us through their sheer numbers.

And we have to be willing to accept they’ll never change and should not have the power they do.

We have to be willing to move on from them.
