It’s funny that all the pro-AI chuds suddenly coming out of the woodwork to try and say this is a terrible idea, it’s almost like these posts have become brigaded.

Jesus, all the pro-AI scum are coming out of the woodwork in force today to try and say this is a bad idea.

Thanks for restating my point 😁

Again though, not to as much a degree as most audiophiles make out.
It’s worth getting a fancier cable, but not a FANCY cable.
There’s zero discernible difference between a cable that’s £3/metre Vs a cable that’s £10/m. There’s a discernible difference between the £0.50/m and the £3/m though.

Nah it’s literally only the latter. Cheap and expensive will give the same quality.

Y’know, I had a feeling I put the wrong unit and then was like “nah… Sounds right”, I would have went with my first instinct

They could’ve just made it donations, or made less of the features require premium.
Stoat and Matrix do fine with that model

Why are they already selling a Discord Nitro equivalent for an unfinished Beta???
This feels like a bad sign to me

Yes, yes I am

Sometimes it’s not pure bullshit, but instead intentionally misses details
Like articles going “new battery lasts 1000 years!” - which is true of Nuclear Batteries, because they give basically a maximum of 1 watt of energy per hour. (Which is useful for very specific purposes like a pacemaker)

They haven’t though.
They’ve just restated the exact same thing but then added on hollow empty promises of “this time we’ll be better, I swear!”

Cool, but you did say it’s not an EU problem

You’ve missed some news my friend, it’s an EU problem too, just the legal and privacy lawyers are fighting much harder so it keeps getting pushed away from going into law.
I’ll try and find some links for you in a sec

How many of these have 5-10 people voice chat?
Cause I use Discord weekly for running and playing TTRPGs, over voice, occasionally doing screensharing when one or more of the players are having issues with their PC

add a better reporting system, one that automatically spoilers posts with multiple reports then asks the human moderators to approve/delete

Lemmy at least has built-in discoverabilty, you can search the entire federation, with ease, all from the search UI

Yeah! Using the lying machine to detect things! Genius!

- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 1 week ago:
Sadly I think the end result of this won’t be people leaving discord, but people giving up liberties because it’s easier than fighting it
And they’re banking on that, it’s part of why they intentionally gave zero warning…1 month is nothing.
With more time a dedicated set of people could pull the alternatives up into solid real options
Or kick up such a huge ruckus that discord back down and undo it.
This was a very intentional and malicious choice to go “oh, yeah we’re doing this next month, kthnxbye”
