  This looks neat. Great writeup!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game is it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to ban myself from that game as I’d fall off the face of the earth for weeks at a time

  But can it run Doom?

  Wait, are you telling me I can get rid of all my e-waste if I just stick a maga sticker on it and put it on Craigslist?

  Yep. And besides, the only people actually taking significant risk here are the instance hosters storing the content.

  I think they were referencing Breaking Bad

  Hah. When they first came out, I had a feeling this would happen. I bought 3 when they were on sale.

  Its genuinely useful in my old car, but it has incredible potential for all kinds of random gadgets. One already serves as a little desktop controller for my audio at work.

  I can hardly remember the days before I became a man of tungsten.

  I was very on board with your comment until the Meyers-Briggs pseudoscience BS and then you lost me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is testing verified checkmarks in search⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so stupid. God forbid they actually police their ads for malware. No, instead let’s push the responsibility onto the individual, by adding get another “Papers, Please”-esque stamp that very few people will know about and even less will actually use.

  Hard pass. The day I saw them promoting malware above legitimate search results is the day I turned on ad blocking for my entire org, and a stupid little pay-to-verify badge isn’t going to change that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But neither have seamless voice chat/screen sharing, which is a staple of Discord that users are very used to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a fantastic read. I wasnt around for the prime days of forums but I did experience them a bit.

  I’m becoming extremely concerned about the number of topics and projects that are migrating to Discord. My main issue is that it is not and never will be publically indexed, and among other problems, is itself a corporate walled garden we consider to be “one of the good ones”.

  I really hope we find and establish a “low executive cost” solution before the next time Discord fumbles (which is inevitable) and we can claw some of that activity back.

  But people are so used to seamless voice and video chat nowadays - and that’s a technical hurdle that AFAIK, no open-source self-hostable projects have come close to solving.

  Oh, I need this thread. I’ve been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.
