If you’re wondering if the game was made any deeper and more engaging then no. But they have added a great many new side activities to do. The game was built upon horizontally rather than vertically.
So if you had the game at launch and lived every second of it and just wanted more, you’ll be very happy.
If you had the game and launch and were let down by the lack of depth the game offered, you’ll won’t get much out of it today either.

I’ve started fresh a number of times with these updates and unfortunately what that does is just highlight how disparate tacked on many of them are. They do not make for a coherent, well integrated experience at all. I’m certain it’s a better experience to just be a long time player who logs back in for every update.

You can absolutely call a game people have played for over a thousand hours shallow. No idea why you think you can’t.

I think you’re just confused about how Matrix works.
Synapse is Matrix itself. It is the reference home server implementation.

No.
The main point that needs to be addressed is the requirement to upload your face or government ID. This exodus has nothing to do with Discord not being Open Source.
- Comment on Matrix messaging gaining ground in government IT 2 days ago:
Matrix sucks pretty bad at federation. But if you run a single closed server internally it works just fine.
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 2 days ago:
It’s not the text chat they’re referring to. An annoying amount of open so it be projects use Discord as a replacement for forums specifically.

At this point I’m convinced the team behind TeamSpeak actually like disappointing people

Yes I am one of the vast majority of people who don’t have a very strong association with one of the several different names for one of the worlds less distinct animals.
And unless Stoat the software is content with appealing only to a few galaxy brained individuals like yourself and dying in obscurity, they would be smart to pick a more marketable name.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 days ago:
It is not. Stoats are not a very commonly talked about animal species. Their name isn’t even consistent across regions.
I had to look up what a Stoat even was because I only know them as Ermine, and in North America it’s called a short tailed Weasel.

It’s not a question of intelligence, it’s a question of recognition and partiality.
That’s not very compelling imo.
That explains why nobody has consulted you before launching a brand.
Most tech names are nonsense to average person, yet they succeeded just fine.
On the contrary, most successful tech names are very recognizable and attractive to the average person, and the ones that weren’t were less likely to succeed. Facebook, Twitter, InstaGram, Windows, Apple, Amazon, all are very recognizable words or portmanteaus of descriptive words that are attractive to average users and are meant to convey a specific emotion or feeling. Meanwhile it’s been years since Twitter changed its name to X and yet nobody calls it that, and everybody still calls posts on that platform “Tweets”.
Like, this billion dollar industry doesn’t cease to be so because you personally don’t find it compelling lol.

Teamspeak needs to get off their ass and release the Teamspeak 5 server already
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 days ago:
It makes perfect sense. Names are incredibly important to widespread adoption. As are pleasing colors.
Many people don’t know what a Stoat is, or that it’s an animal. A meaningless nonsense word (In the mind of a normie) will not drive them to use it.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 days ago:
The problem is there isn’t plenty of other options.
Discord is one of those services independent web folk have been after a replacement for for years.
- Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE 3 days ago:
I highly doubt it. Those issues were with overvoltage problems and the n100 is low power. The thing sips electricity even when under load
- Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE 3 days ago:
The N100 would work great, that’s what I have at home, the S12 pro with the n100, it’s just getting harder to find.
Just don’t get the N95

If you wanted something to get started for streaming and you are space limited (in your home) I would recommend this as your server:
- a.co/d/00MhaEgG the Beelink S13 which is under $300 and will serve your streaming needs for a very long time.
And for storage you could get this 4TB external drive and plug it into the Beelink and sit it right on top for $130:
- Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE 3 days ago:
To a degree yes, but not nearly as bad as other components right now. You can at the very least buy a single “small” HDD like 4TB for pretty cheap that is far more than what you’d get from big tech on an average storage plan.
This is subject to change but as of today, you can get this for cheap
- Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE 3 days ago:
It’s not. I have a server with dozens of TBs of storage which is a 2011 Lenovo tower I got for free out of someone’s garage. It doesn’t take a whole lot to store things.

The thing to know about IPV6 is that while being able to read the addresses and memorize the different kinds seem daunting, the implementation behind it is actually much simpler than IPv4 today.
The biggest mental hurdle to get over is that the way we use IPv4 today is informed by our need to work around the global lack of IPv4 addresses. With IPv6, it sorta turns back the clock to when every machine could just have a globally reputable IP address. Private reserved ranges for locks lans, NAT, etc aren’t necessary with IPv6
