- Comment on Good news, UK Discord users, we're part of a Peter Thiel-linked data collection "experiment" 1 hour ago:
literally almost a 1:1 discord clone
If you read the blog, it’s because the dev studied the Discord code very closely and did their best to mimic it.
Though E2EE isn’t currently on the solo dev’s roadmap
It is on the roadmap. It says it right on the project homepage.

You might also elect not to. Tell me, what do you think is the purpose of this special fastener?

I read the entire paragraph and at no time did you address your failed analogy that these are not for theft prevention. But thank you for acknowledging that you have no idea what they’re for. You’re being blocked now.
- Comment on 23 hours ago:
Nah.

You mean apples proprietary bit
One and only (AFAIK)
instead of the one specific locking bit they now have this specific locking bit?
Did you just completely ignore what I said about this being a security item?
The only moron here is the one who doesn’t read comments before replying to them. If you can’t tell me what you think the purpose of this bolt is, then don’t reply to me again.

I said the platform is expected to support self hosting soon, that it’s expected to support federation later, and that it’s just something to keep an eye on. Ergo, it will not, in fact, require an account on a centralized service.
- Comment on BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to Repair 1 day ago:
It’s a special bit, that’s it.
More likely it’s a whole set of bits. Why do you think they’re doing this? Apple invented a new screw. Why do you think they did that? None of it is intended to slow down professional repair businesses, it’s to stop DIYers.
You might as well complain about locking lug nuts as a whole because that’s really all this is.
LOL locking lugnuts stop thieves. Do you think that’s what the purpose of this is?

I’m sure they will but that requires owners to go out and buy a kit of specialty tools for that one job, which may be too much investment. And many people are just not savvy enough to do that, they see “specialty tools” and throw up their hands.
- Comment on 1 day ago:
I thought so

You don’t have to fork it. The self-hosted version comes with all features.

You should actually read the second paragraph in OP.

Nah.

Yeah that seemed to work but no one was watching so I can’t tell ya what it looked like :(

I can’t, their shitty fucking email tracking link won’t open to log into my account.
- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 1 day ago:
According to the Financial Times
Original article paywalled. Shame because I really wanted to hear how they were going to explain:
The company warned that Brussels’ policies aimed at reducing dependence on American tech companies could harm competitiveness

No such luck on Fedora Silverblue.

Or can matrix only talk with matrix, IRC with IRC, XMPP with XMPP, etc?
Yes, they have to be the same protocol to communicate.
- Comment on Discord Distances Itself From Age Verification Firm After Ties To Palantir’s Peter Thiel Surface 1 day ago:
tl;dr
Discord told Kotaku its work with Persona was part of a “limited test” which has since been concluded.

stop pre-ordering games. They’ll still be there when they do go on sale.
Yeah but then I wouldn’t get the sick Cardi B Wet Ass Pussy character skin 😮💨

Ah yes, Apple is notorious for the freedom of app installations…

I mean you can use Peertube for that. I use it that way.

Haven’t tried it but I’ll give it a go and get back to you.

Click the link. This one supports screen sharing, and much more.
- Comment on Cloudflare now serves sites in Markdown to AI agents 2 days ago:
My brother, this is not just autistic people. Everyone wants this. Except the people who make the sites, because all that noise is how they make money.
If you look at a private blog, they’re usually devoid of much noise.
- Comment on 2 days ago:
I mean, that’s fair. Stoat just seems to have stagnated in development. Plus they openly admit they have no plans for federation. This one is newer and has quite a lot more features.
- Comment on Discord’s UK age verification reportedly shifts flows to Persona for some users 2 days ago:
Not only is this pointless/ineffective, it’s also completely unnecessary.
Persona is owned by Palantir/Peter Thiel, which is in the business of information. Rest assured your credentials will be kept, in some form, regardless of what they say.

I thought we were friends 😔
- Comment on 2 days ago:
It’ll get a whole lot easier when they can’t access your community any longer without gov ID. Just start posting some dicks or something.
