I’ll be honest morphe has been a total nightmare for me. It works 70% of the times. 30% of the times it rewinds mid video to a random timestamp. And will do that in a loop.
In my experience that has been the very worse app I used on Android for YT.
To be fair it’s not really their fault if YT is constantly trying to disrupt their app.
- Comment on CEO Asks ChatGPT How to Void $250 Million Contract, Ignores His Lawyers, Loses Terribly in Court 2 days ago:
Exactly, the fact this dude at Krafton can sign 250 million dollars deals but is also dumb enough to think a ChatGPT lawyer knows better than his own lawyers… It goes to show that many powerful people were just lucky or inherited their wealth but are definitely not successful because they are smart.

A bold lie.
As if paywall removers are “universal”.

We had bus fare controllers in my city that did that a few years ago.
They wore kilts because as usual the dresscode allowed for female clothes like skirts etc.
There is probably hundreds of example of that specific malicious compliance.

- Comment on LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats 1 week ago:
This is a conversation about the issue of proprietary formats in our institutions.
And I think PDF is a problem in that regard. It’s not fully open and the format still can break. Forms in particular are still very problematics. Forms are very useful in institutions…
- Comment on LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats 1 week ago:
* Only if you dont use the many still proprietary extensions of PDF I suppose.
Anyway I’m not sure following the Adobe standard in our institutions is the smartest move.
- Comment on LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats 1 week ago:
“Don’t use that proprietary format ! Use PDF instead !”
PDF is also an issue.
- Comment on What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify? 2 weeks ago:
I suppose we could also see in the future more cars that can swap their battery in charging stations.
IMO that’s the more long term use of these stations. Instead of buying gas you would swap for new batteries.
Gas stations are often well placed for refuelling so might as well repurpose them to do that but for electric cars.
Electric scooters with swappable batteries work super well in urban areas. I’m convinced once this tech is deployed on most cars it will trivialise long trips in electric cars.
This and electrified highways would be amazing.

Don’t worry, we will all be paying for it when the AI jenga tower will fall.
Businesses can make huge investments mistakes and then they will ask for help from the government that will have to save them to prevent total collapse and to save jobs. So we will pay for a few dumb CEOs like we always do.
- Comment on How Russia is intercepting communications from European satellites 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, this article forgot about encryption.
And I doubt a military satellite would be launched without some very strong encryption from the get go.
Now if the enemy satellite docks or send any projectile to our own… Now that’s an issue.

- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 5 weeks ago:
A lot of people I see are very critical of Discord on that but I dont see any solution either.
I think it’s much better than just letting these nasty DMs stay in the dark.
At least a teen will have to go out of his way and ignore the warnings to get in contact with some freak.
Also what better solution do you suggest to implement ?
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 5 weeks ago:
So teen-per-default means that adults can freely talk to teens, which should be prevented.
That’s not my understanding.
I get your point but by default if Discord thinks you are a teen it also implies all the limitations associated with that status. Which means some media will be blurred and some commands cannot be done.
An adult can keep his “teen default status” but he also keeps all the limitations associated with it. Which I suppose doesn’t mean they can “freely” talk to other accounts as you state.
Notably the DM that a groomer would send will end up in a special inbox for all teens or for that matter “default teen”.
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 5 weeks ago:
Please read the Discord official post.
one to access teen spaces,
That account will be tagged as a teen account until proven otherwise. Therefore any message or DM he will receive will go to a special inbox with most likely warnings to consult it.
Please, again, I understand that the pitchforks are out for discord, I’m just asking you to take the time to read the official discord post from top to bottom.
There will still be unknowns until they release the update but your question is already answered by their official post.
- Comment on YouTube star MrBeast buys youth-focused financial services app Step 5 weeks ago:
to understand the appeal of YouTubers.
Come on, are you really putting all the Youtubers in the same boat as MrBeast ?
Take a look at channels like :
- Veritasium
- Technology connections
They only share a platform with MrBeast but it’s nor fair to compare them to that prominent idiot.
It’s akin to saying all books are bad because you didn’t like your last book…
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 5 weeks ago:
Please read the end of my message.
If you are a teen “by default” you will have all the restrictions of a teen until you prove you are an adult.
So an adult with ill intentions should either be :
- A teen by default and therefore have many limitations.
- An adult that have limitations in reaching to teens.
Again it’s what the very vague statement of Discord says. We also have no clue how their “inference model for age classification” works either…
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 5 weeks ago:
Any source for this ?
The official announcement is quite vague and since the feature isn’t out it’s hard to know how it will work exactly.
Also, I assume the biggest risk isn’t for teens to send nudes “unprompted” but to let adults contact them and ask for them.
This for example is very vague :
Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.
So if a teen can only interact with other teens on dedicated spaces it should make it harder for perverts to ask for stuff.
And if an adult tries to pretend to be a teen he will only see blurred content ?
I’m sure many will think I’m trying to defend Discord on this but I’m not. Again we dont really know how this update will work. I’m just trying to make sure we dont spread misinformation.
There will be plenty of time to criticize Discord when they push this update.
What I’m sure of is that discord was definitely a platform of choice for many bad people to hunt and groom teens.
Personally, it’s the fact that discord says they will delete my verification data :
Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.
In most cases ? Really ? Is that supposed to look trustworthy ?
- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been forwarded this pretty neat summary of the current alternatives (Mastodon thread) :
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 5 weeks ago:
No. Recently I played a bit using a friends mumble server. And it’s a friend that is already privacy conscious. But these friends are not the norm. They are the exception.
Interesting to see Teamspeak evolved but still you have to pay to host a server so that’s a huge difference.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 5 weeks ago:
A federation based discord would be amazing !
But still that’s a big challenge as voice chat will be costly to host.
Also out of curiosity do you aim for something that would connect through the fediverse ?
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 5 weeks ago:
For context my country (France) is trying to pass a law that forbids the use of social networks to users younger than 15yo. So I suppose this move from Discord is partly due to that.
Now that being said I would hope the verification process will have much more scrutiny in Europe than it would in the US.
I would definitely not be happy about it but if they are not allowed to keep any of the verification data afterwards it could be “acceptable”. But if I have the feeling they keep any data I will actively look into building a Stoat instance and try the even harder task of convincing my friends to switch over.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 5 weeks ago:
Well yes, I would say it’s very much an integral part of mt social life.
I spend a lot of time with my gamer friends and it revolves around our discord servers.
We even have a discord servers dedicated to our role play sessions.
IMHO Discord is a bit more than just a voice chat app. It’s also rooms with persistant chats. It’s the ability to share media etc.
Also their noose reduction tech is top notch.
I knew when I got in that it would be another “Gmail” for me. It’s great but you have to give a bit of your soul to it and I knew it would enshitify eventually.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 5 weeks ago:
Sure.
But what are you replacing it with ?
I tried Mumble and Teamspeak in the past and it’s pretty far from the same level of comfort.
Don’t take that the wrong way though, I’m all for supporting open alternatives, I’m just saying you have to think about the alternatives too.
I just saw something about Stoat.chat but a lot of people will have to bear the cost of self hosting these servers.
I know I will think carefully before slamming the door on discord.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 5 weeks ago:
Nowadays everyone accepted the name “Discord” but I think it’s a pretty poor choice of branding too.
A communication app called Discord is pretty weird too.
A stoat is a pretty cool animal.
I think without prior knowledge of any voice chat Discord would probably rate worse in perception than Stoat.
