It would be absurd to record calls, the expense of it isnt worth it.

I doubt it too, but it’s okay, I mostly use it for calls anyway. The messages are just organising times.

It has had one, TeamSpeak 5 and now they are adding screen-sharing with TeamSpeak 6. I think they would have held a good market if they worked on an upgrade sooner, they only released a beta for TS5 once Discord had gotten super popular. If they were more proactive I think most of us would be using TeamSpeak instead now. It’s just borderline impossible to convince people to move service.

Can you provide a source then if it isn’t true? I am genuinely curious.

And yes, they did publish the code for their e2ee protocol.

The whole internet is the same, unless you are running all your own built software that you can vet, you are just putting faith in what a company/individual is telling you. If you want to use the internet, there’s always the inherent risk your data is being collected and sold without you knowing.

I’m not saying it’s a perfect service, I’d rather all private messages be E2E encrypted, but there’s no evidence Discord themselves have ever sold any data, so I don’t understand why we are making crazy claims when them collecting data is a privacy issue enough on it’s own.

Calls recently got encryption, so while Discord is as popular as it is, we can only hope they keep expanding encryption into other areas.

Source? The only record of data being sold I remember is some 3rd-party that scraped public servers.

This issue isnt exclusive to the internet. But I agree, these complainers do not represent humanity, because they show none.

Before, yes. With Trump, probably not.

How is your move to the UK going? How do you find it compared to the US?

Nobody should be forced to be a war machine. If you want, you can encourage it, give it appealing perks, but ultimately the decision should be down to the individual if they want to spend a chunk of their life on that.

Yes, it is fine as long as they dont advertise “a huge branching story”, when really there’s only a handful of endings. If you dont count random game over screens.

BG3 has a lot of dialogue options, but they rarely change the outcome of the story.

Another problem is how big games are made now, they are made (relatively) quickly and are very underperformant. So while GPUs 2, 3 generations ago could be running beautiful games at beautiful framerates, instead they run like ass. Nvidia wants them to rely on their DLSS shit to give people a reason to keep buying their GPUs every cycle. So people feel like they need to upgrade, when they really don’t, instead they should stop buying these poorly made games.

Well, the illusion of choice mostly.

Yes, Basic plans.

None. Pixel if you had to pick, but the SoC sucks. And the Asus phones have like no software support, so they are definitely not worth buying.

Same thing Spotify did.

I will bite. You could scroll through landscape videos with a swipe of the thumb, in just the same way as you can with portrait. I watch YouTube videos in landscape, it’s not really a hassle for me to rotate my phone, it can pivot on a pinch really effortlessly, that’s the beauty of a small screen in your hand. I am obviously not going to remount a TV for the same reason, so the analogy is kind of mute.

While there is a use case for both orientations, landscape is generally better (especially for the content I like), which is why it was chosen for video content across the world before these shortform vertical videos took off with social media. But I suppose for content where someone just talking to you, then portrait fills the screen better with their face.

So does landscape.

Lemmy.world is the worst offender I have come across personally. Lemmy.ml is reddit like too, but it’s mostly okay for discussion and it hosts a lot of posts so I don’t really want to block it.

What the echo chamber of reddit doesnt have critical thinking? Well I never…
