• ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I’ve wanted to change anyway since the enshittification started. I think the first thing was a paid avatar/profile decoration store. Annoying enough, but if they’re decent cosmetics and not crazy prices I can understand. I still wish there was an internal, native seeing that would just remove all the visual teasing of paid options, but I can ignore it. (Mainly I hate trying to add an emoji to chat and just seeing pages of emoji from servers that I can’t use on the one I’m on- which is already super annoying, but they put the regular result ones behind all those so you have to either scroll past them or manually switch to the default emoji page- that’s just pure rage bait- default should be first, followed by the ones from that server that you can actually use)

  But my main problem was when Nitro showed up.

  Unfortunately, of the up and comers none are quite ready yet, and none have the full suite of functionality.

  This change actually doesn’t affect me at all, I don’t really engage with any communities. I have one that I use just to mess with admin options and see what kinda choices there are and how it works, one server with a few friends (like 5 regulars counting myself) and one for some of my siblings that we only really use to play Jackbox remotely.

  But I still resent the change and have wanted a good alternative ever since subscriptions started.

  They’re kinda impossible to get started while Nazis are in power, sure.

  I’m not saying we’ve figured how to get it to work, but clearly this should be the Next Big Thing that we need to figure out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no shit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry for the delay.

  Resume your shitcommenting, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Important Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We need laws that make it illegal to actually be a Nazi (and to codify supporting Nazis as criteria of being one).

  If you have a provable track record of doing things that are textbook Nazi, that should either be a capital crime, or loss of basic rights (aka, people can assault you at any time with no repercussions).

  That is a very specific thing that is honestly weird there isn’t a law about. There isn’t a single good thing to say about any of them. They’re never beneficial to anyone in any way beyond furthering their cause, and there’s nothing positive to say about that cause.

  We need to naturally select them out of our continued evolution.

  Also, (in addition to other reply) if you were familiar with the franchise, you’d notice he only has two (with one empty) pips on his collar instead of the captain’s four.

  I love sacrificing the elders. And making them randomly fight each other to the death.

  I’ve been stuck on the last boss for a while. I’m too greedy with damage dumping on the boss to dodge, so I die like a n00b, but I’m enjoying myself.

  My siblings were debating issues with it and about how willing they were to just deal with it.

  I’m just shocked at how addicted everyone is to it that it could probably say “Trump is watching all users’ front cameras while the app is open” and kids would still be like "hmmm what are the odds he watches me though?

  But everybody’s a zombie.

  I mean I downloaded it, back really early, to take a peek. After 15 minutes, I decided I hated the short format, and peaced out.

  It seems to largely be a generational thing. Millennials are (in my perception) mostly on it just to make money, zoomers just want that crack IV drip.

  Obviously this is just a trend, and there are counter examples everywhere, but that seems to be more true than not. At least from the outside looking in.

  And given it’s totally obnoxious censorship rules, now I have to deal with hearing about people getting “unalived”, or “adult fun time”, and “p 3 dee oh” from creators that multistream. Even without being there, I’m forced to experience the cancer secondhand.

  That’s my main problem with it. None of the other problems affect me directly much since I’ve always avoided it, but that is smeared all over my shit.

  Not sure if this is parody-ing a certain orangie’s math fail, or genuinely confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The holy journey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t either for a few years since I started having medical issues and didn’t even live by myself anymore.

  Going to free myself this year though. I don’t have much access to it, but I believe I know someone with an old stash waiting for a good opportunity.

  I never knew about testing them before my last trip though, so I was playing with fire by accident, but at least I didn’t get burned.

  No idea how strong it week mine were, but from at least 3 different sources they seemed consistent strength-wise.

  I’ve never done more than 3. And I only did that once. It was absolutely amazing, except for the very end. But the last few hours were horrifying. I’m not sure if it was being alone at the end or if the amount itself was just too much for me.

  If I got regular chances to have some again, I might try 3 again, if I have overnight plans to hang with whoever I’m dropping with.

  But otherwise it’ll just be 2 for me.

  My best memory was playing some video games while waiting for it to kick in and having to stop because I couldn’t make it what I was seeing, the screen was just rainbow colors.

  I was thinking to myself “I think it’s working now lol”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The holy journey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would depend on the strength of them. “1 tab” is not an amount.

  For me, once I got used to it, I’ve never wanted to take it more than once every other month or so. Feels like I need that much time to put everything back together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck. I bought this forever ago, either for my Droid 2 or my Galaxy S3. Skipped it on my first Pixel and came back on the Pixel 7.

  Haven’t really heard any talk about it, didn’t know about the owner/dev drama until seeing some comments here.

  Haven’t noticed any ads myself yet, but maybe that’s a “coming soon” thing.

  Time to go launcher shopping again. This thread mentioned Lawnchair and Niagara, so I’ll check those out first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you people all bots?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “abolish” is far, faaaar too kind.

  I probably can’t even say what I want to about it, but I will say “abolish” would be preferred by them compared to what I want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as anybody “wins” at war, I absolutely hope we lose. I’m glad Germany lost, so I want us to lose.

  I honestly have no idea how split people were in Germany at the time, but given that the Nazis are back for a sequel, then I hope they lose and lose BAD. Like bad to the point that they do some “political cleansing” of the entire government. I don’t think there’s a benefit of having any conservatives in power at all. Just straight up murder should still be wrong, but if any get good for the paddles come out. Bring conservative and holding power greater than student body president shouldn’t happen anywhere, ever, for any reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even having a conversation about that will take a while to happen because most people think that AI literally means something like ChatGPT.

  I don’t know enough about the other kinds to say much definitively, but I do completely invalidate generative AI being of any possible use as I understand it. Other than as a tech demo. Seeing what Sora could do was interesting as a matter of curiosity about what it was possible to get to happen with it current tech.

  But I don’t think it should ever be used as literally anything other than a demo of what is literally possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There would be, if it was any less black and white. Show something worth discussing and people would jump at that conversation.

  Given that they’re doesn’t seen to be much coming up in that vein, there’s no room. Room would be made of there was something to make room for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like you’re the one without understanding.

  Even if I grant that there’s a few super helpful uses that are good for humanity (and I don’t grant that at all), it’s still actively harmful to the other 99.3% of us.

  Unless you’re saying it can end cancer, keep us young forever, provide literally limitless energy, and instantaneous networking, all while giving us potential to explore the universe, then it’s still not worth what it’s costing us RIGHT NOW.

  Until you can make it do any of that without being owned or pushed by CEOs for money, then it will never be worth it.

  Sure it could be useful if it didn’t cost anything and did everything, but that’s about as far as I believe it.

  It should stay in the research and theory phase until it’s perfect. And it never will be, hence most people attitudes on it. No. 00000001% change of finding a good execution of a use is worth what it is costing us to try out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but again, you have choices in almost every piece of hardware.

  Consoles lock you down a lot harder in this respect. You either but their hardware and possibly software, or you miss out on the whole thing.

  And a lot of people, like a sibling of mine is just getting to the point of maturity where you figure out the brand you like is the bad guy and you don’t want to give them money anymore, but you sorely miss the product itself.

  Given how hard they’re locked in, it’s really hard for them to jump to a new platform. Not quite as bad as switching from Android to or from iPhone, but not super far off.

  Personally I jumped out completely before I got invested in a digital console store, so I didn’t have that problem. But the point is that they gotta completely start a new collection and paradigm.

  Whereas if you one day have a huge problem with let’s say, Steam, you can just opt to never buy from them again without losing access to your library, no matter what hardware you’re running it on.

  You can choose to never buy an Acer monitor, CoolerMaster PSU, or (insert other random examples) while still having a computer.

  I mean it’s impossible to really find “good” companies, but you can at least pick your lines in the sand with a lot more granularity than just consoles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope they struggle the company underground.

  The unwashed console plebs can join the gamers with the Steam Machine/Deck and see what gaming is supposed to be like.

  There’s still shitty stuff happening, but you’re a lot less beholden to specific companies over here.

  I get why people thought it was convenient to have it divisible by so many other numbers, but my opinion is fuck all that.

  “Military time” should be standard in our system, the am/pm problem is absofuckinglutely stupid, pointless, and counterproductive.

  Beginning of day should be low number. Increase until end of day and reset. There is no good argument for starting over halfway through and if you think there is think again because you’re wrong.

  Literally everybody is missing the point that’s it’s a sex problem, not gender. So many whooshes in here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re missing the point. It’s a back and forth between sexes, not a gender thing.
