- Comment on Is there is an up to date instance of Pleroma in English that have registrations open? 4 hours ago:
If your intent is to connect via app, I suppose you’re better off with misskey or one of its forks like iceshrimp. They offer server specific custom reactions and allow crazy code on your posts. I recommend not using them on the web because the pages are HEAVY, like, “did my browser freeze or did it crash?” heavy
Wafrn could also work, it’s more tumblr-like than twitter-like and gets you posts from mastodon/misskey and custom reactions

- Comment on Discord walks back age verification fears for most users 1 day ago:
The company’s deploying AI-powered inference to estimate user ages based on behavioral patterns, account history, and other signals already in its systems. Only when that automated prediction fails or flags uncertainty will users face requests for manual verification through ID uploads or facial scanning.
Oh, so it’s even easier to game it and pretend to be “an adult”. Simply avoid any minecraft and roblox communities to be an instant adult.
Discord didn’t specify exactly what percentage constitutes a “vast majority,” nor did it detail which signals feed into its age prediction models. That lack of transparency could become its own issue as regulators increasingly scrutinize how platforms handle youth safety versus privacy rights.
Big brother is watching you masturbate, for your own good, of course.
For the subset of users who do get flagged for manual verification, Discord says it’s partnering with third-party services that specialize in age verification tech. These vendors typically process ID documents or facial scans without permanently storing biometric data, though implementation details remain vague.
It’s not permanent storage if they delete after safely selling to interested buys!
As lawmakers ramp up age verification requirements globally, expect more platforms to walk this tightrope between compliance and community trust.
I wonder if this is what might actually push more people into “host your own shit” that’s easy to shut down and migrate as needed.

The game looks PS1 as all hell and I love it. Kinda like a mix of Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve, I guess?

- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 days ago:
As someone who didn’t have dualshock controllers back when I had the PS1, FPS games always felt awful. Most of the games had like L2/R2 for aiming up/down and L1/R1 for strafing, pretty sure Quake 2 was like that. I recall Medal of Honor had you hold R2 to fine aim with the d-pad
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 days ago:
Yes, I alluded to that in the first comment
Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier

I found it really odd that your server has to get a registration key from their server
Huh, I didn’t know that, maybe that’s only with the docker image? If not, that’s bad news waiting to happen, I’m afraid :/
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 days ago:
You can buy companies, organizations and people that run FOSS projects, thus buying the project. Audacity was bought and enshitified. SimpleApps suffered a similar fate on Android.
In both cases, the community forked the last “good” version and renamed the project
- Comment on Does it happen when the law arrest a drug kingpin or whatever and they off the cops something like 10mil a piece to let him/her go? Has anyone ever actually taken it? Or is movie trope? 3 days ago:
Not exactly as shown in movies and series, it’s usually that the kingpins buy out cops either as protection or informants, so they get a tip before actual raids happen and either GTFO or plan something different, like leaving an idiot with a small amount of drugs to keep some heat off.
Hell, imprisoned criminals will often sway wardens with their money. It happens quite often in Brazil, with prisoners using cell phones from within their cells.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 3 days ago:
Rocket.chat would be my first recommendation, tho it looks more corporate aimed. It also claims to support Matrix federation.
You could also give Jami a try, it’s p2p so it doesn’t need servers.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 3 days ago:
It’s voice chat features are lacking, it has no video chat yet
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 days ago:
There’s rocketchat, too, which bills itself more corporately
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 days ago:
Until some company buys it and then it has to rename again. Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 days ago:
Wish DeltaChat would work better.
Or that Jami would properly look for new messages after a user configurable amount of time - sometimes it’ll only do that if you restart the app

You’re getting significant lag with Generals? I never got anywhere close to that on a ~2012 mid rig, even on a 4v4 match

The game is all about skirmishes. If you’ve ever played total annihilation or supreme commander, matches’ length are close. On small maps, anywhere from 15-40 minutes. Huge maps can take way longer

I tried installing matrix once on a VM at work. A lot of work to get it running and it refused to work for some reason. I guess there are better alternatives, something made with xmpp or even rocketchat

There’s a term called “dependency hell”. Sure, this one dependency is fine, but it depends on 3 other libraries, those 3 depend on a sum of 7 others, etc…
