LoL no…

Laws like this are trojan horses for draconian data collection policies and a failure of every other metric. The “Think of the children” people do not understand technology or how to enforce their own laws. Anyone with the impetus to get around the changes these laws mandate will do so with a google search and ~30 min. worth of effort regardless of age or ability to wave a credit card at something.

Its that reason why I say everyone is a nerd about something.

Yah, you may be talking to the former school jock/football star who was barely handed their diploma, but ask them about their sport/the industries around it. You will likely get a better lesson on statistics and managment that you can get out of most text books. (Assuming you can keep the conversation focused)

People usually like talking about their interests.

For consumer grade yes, I look forward to seeing more people choose anything else (even Apple). For enterprise, lol, they have every Dell or HP house in the world by the balls. Atleast they ensured system admins have more job security (not lime that was in short supply anyway)

Ive hosted my own TS3 server for well over a decade and matrix was spooled up this past year. They both are good products and server their roles, but they dont line up 100% with Discord and its user reach.

I am hopefull TS6 gets the funding it needs to get out of beta and I wish the Fluxer dev the best (they are going to need it).

What this whole discord debacle needs to teach people is how to be independent regarding your communications, data and their storage.

Also, given the state of affairs and the lack of trust, I dont believe they are cutting them off. Assume the worst and do what you can to decouple from the platform I dont expect people to quit cold-turkey, but put in the effort, it takes a long time to degoogle yourself and given how ubiquitous discord was during the plague, I dont fault people for making sure lines of communication and contacts arnt broken.

Edit: also, try not to violate the weekend saftey brief.

For Matrix on android, I use Shildichat. Works great, very boiler plate UI and it keeps things simple. I will admit Element for everything else is fine… Enough.

Keep us posted on how Fluxer handles, I read their website/github and it looked fairly undercooked and their documentation needs help. The app probably works fine and the main host is likely in for a shock when with the flood of new users and I worry about them, it looks promising.

For elon branded tech, this makes perfect sence.

Its from the show Happy Days (1977) where Fonzie jumps over a shark while water skiing. Its considered the point where the show took a dramatic turn down hill and the term is still used in that manner today.

I feel like this chart covers most of them, but needs a different distinction. Which ones are fun to invoke in converstion to play off the crazy and obes that ate actually off the deep end.

For example, chemtrails is a vintage conspiracy thory, its been around for a while and most people can casually make fun of it. I cant make jokes about half of that top row because most normal people just know what most of those words even mean, let alone the contents of the conspiracy.

The queen of shitty robots!

Her new brand is more product design and inovation focused, but its all amazing (plus, Scrapps is adorable).

Due to gravity and your point of origin being earth (which is moving suprisingly fast), its actually very difficult to actually hit the sun…

I always look forward to this post. Thank you.

After what happened in Nepal last year, this 100% tracks with the dystopian narrative we are currently living. The powers that be saw a small country use it as a tool to affect change. To me, and tell me if I lm jumping to conclusions here, its obvious as to why this policy change is happening at all, to prevent the site from being used in that manner again.
