  Can you post a source for this?

  Yeah I agree with all of this. Shame there isn’t a better option at the moment, but they’re the lesser of a bunch of evils - so I guess I’m sticking with them for a bit longer.

  Oh, my bad: I thought bandcamp was part of the major services. Shows what I know 😅

  Bandcamp is pretty good, though. Especially on Bandcamp Fridays where all the profits go to the artists. Plus, I like getting FLACs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s because of the colors used, visual theme, mecha nature of the enemies, and character design of the protagonists - too many direct similarities to argue it’s just inspiration.

  First paragraph of the post states:

  Sounds like it’ll be worth playing the first, then. I’ll do that! Thanks for the info.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shouldn’t one play Undertale first? Is it a sequel or a spiritual successor?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hunt: Showdown 1896 is back online with its 2.4 update after Crytek rolled it back because it was so broken⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Poor Crytek… They worked /ended up working all night long and through a holiday.

  Say what you want about game bugs and how annoying they might be for players, but teams sacrificing like this to fix a mistake is something I’ll always have sympathy for.

  Hope they can get some rest 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Matrix cooked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The response is less of a response, more of an explanation of their current feelings pertaining to matrix. Seems odd when Matthew made some clear, individual points that could’ve been addressed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Matrix cooked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Except the premium offering pretty much just relates to media upload limit. I’m honestly surprised that they even allowed people to upload as much as they do.

  Makes sense to limit free users (will also help with spam) if they’re not drowning in VC money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Matrix cooked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t affect you in the slightest, other than it might further fund Synapse’s/the spec’s development meaning your server might get new features.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, this would be a great feature - but it’s a big issue to implement. It’s talked about in this video, worth watching if you’re curious about it.

  As far as status go, this issue on the matrix spec is what you want to follow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OP is a fan of a game, and is excited for its release. So excited that OP is making in-jokes from that game’s fan-community without regard for whether the references are understood or not.

  Completely reasonable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t.

  It has features for video/voice calling - E.g. Background blurring and stuff like that. It just lacks the stuff that would make it usable for gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Works great if you don’t want/need PTT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant for video. The classic coturn connection is fine for voice - though I wish it had push to talk. 🥲

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or they could choose to host their rooms on some existing server, I guess.

  I mean, that’s sort of the point, right? Don’t host unless you want to.

  There are lots of great, long lasting servers with open registration out there. This blog post has some good examples:

  • envs.net
  • tchncs.net
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “something running” - do you mean the server binary? Because, yes, if you’re using your own server you do need it to be running. Same for the client, I guess? I guess I don’t really understand what you meant by that.

  Some obscure service relied on it as a support channel and last thing I remember is that matrix server stopped working.

  That’s an issue with any federated service, yeah. If the server is down, it’s down. But as a bonus, unlike Discord, when a server is down you can just move to another. So, honestly, I see that as a boon.

  As far as p2p goes, there was an effort to make that a while back, but it looks like people lost interest.

  Though, personally I think federation is good enough. That’s why I’m on Lemmy/the Fediverse, after all.

  Technically speaking, Element does have “voice and video rooms” available as an experimental feature, but until it’s out of prime time it totally makes sense to wait.

  Gotta remember that Element/New Vector (the company spearheading Matrix’s development) is getting funded mostly by orgs who are looking for a replacement for internal comms like Slack or WhatsApp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is outdated and no longer preferred, it now has its own internal system called Element Call (aka an implementation of MatrixRTC).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve done the same and it works quite well.

  The only thing I was really missing from Discord was Ai noise cancellation like Krisp - and I got that by installing Easy Effects

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue has been there for ages. Sadly gamers aren’t really Element’s target audience.

  Makes more sense to wait for MatrixRTC to enter the spec cleanly, then wait for a custom Discord-like client to implement it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  God, I just wish they’d add a fucking Push to Talk option to a client… Any client 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only option available is Matrix. It has its problems, but they’re being worked on.

  Right now it lacks the gaming/voice chat parts of discord - so for an OSS alternative for that part of discord specifically, there’s Mumble.

  For everything else, Matrix is a good alternative. Just be sure to pick a discord-like client. (E.g. Commet or Cinny)
