I mean, he does answer why. You can disagree about the reason but he answers your question.

What I meant probably didn’t carry over through text well. I was being very literal because you were very literal – to show the problem with that.

Yes, obviously you didn’t mean it would actually be illegal in all countries that exist. My point is that the “zero-humans” naming also doesn’t actually mean zero humans. There is someone controlling whatever that project is.

Legally in which of the 190+ countries?

Most people won’t care for the simple reason that most people don’t use Discord for porn and will never need to access a NSFW server. They will never need to verify.

I’m in the UK where the Discord age verification is already live for several months. I was never even prompted to verify.

I started using Discord because I was joining communities that were on Discord, and at some point I no longer wanted to use two similar chat apps, so it was simpler to only use Discord.

Discord did have one big advantage over Slack though, in that you can switch between servers within 1 browser tab easily. Slack servers are completely separated and if you are on 4, you realistically need to keep 4 Slack browser tabs open.

That’s the thing, for me Discord replaced Slack. I never used the voice chat feature of Discord. I had family, friend group, interest group Slack servers to chat, all was eventually moved to Discord.

Meanwhile I still use Mumble for voice chat, Discord never replaced Mumble for me, it was a replacement for chat groups, which I previously used Slack for.

The OCR is offline, using Tesseract, there is nothing online about it.

It only activates when you press a button, so there is nothing to turn off either.

I’m on over 40 Discord servers. And yes I had one for my own group which I moved to Matrix. That still means I’m in over 40 Discord servers. Plus I also run Matrix.

Steam has many features that can be looked at separately, but at its core it’s a package manager. So I would argue an open source alternative comes preinstalled with any Linux distro.

You can find, install, and update games with e.g. Discover or Synaptic.

I don’t think many Steam users would consider them viable alternatives though.

Isn’t “viable” subjective though? If you are allowed to deem open source games not viable, then isn’t it a bit hypocritical to judge people for deeming open source browsers not viable, for their personal criteria?

Yeah, just like Steam and World of Warcraft, don’t you use them? What’s your point? Should I leave a similar comment under the Steam guide you posted?

I personally think it’s a little more nuanced than open source = always good, proprietary = always bad.

Yeah, it doesn’t look like they are lying to me, the official Bazzite version is official as in, it’s made by GPD for their own device, it’s an OS you get from the manufacturer of the device.

They didn’t claim the Bazzite team is involved in any way.

No, on popular distros they are preinstalled, or only require you to check a checkbox in system settings.

They don’t fit in his luggage (or would be smashed) so that’s the easiest way to take them onboard. Maybe purchased as gifts to relatives.

Check if it’s signed with the developer signature, that’s the only way to verify authenticity

That’s not what they said at all

They know. But many people will look at the screw, see it’s some weird thing they don’t have a screwdriver for, and decide to take the car to an authorized dealership instead of trying to repair an issue themselves.

Some will just buy the special screwdriver. But that doesn’t matter, what’s important is that some won’t, and the line goes up. You also have to look at it as yet another small barrier to repairability. It’s not stopping you by itself, but every single barrier adds up and stops more people.

I think if you can apply by just clicking an “apply” button then I wouldn’t expect much attention from their side either, how are you doing it? On some job seeking platform?

Every time I applied somewhere I had to spend some time customizing my CV to the job listing, researching the company to write a compelling cover letter (and to find out if I want to apply in the first place), and probably filling out a long form on their application portal. It takes at least 30 minutes per company, which is quite a lot of work when sending many applications.

But the concept of just being able to click “apply” somewhere seems weird to me, sure, saves a lot of time, but then is anyone even reading your application?

It was NOT found to be untrue. Full stop. It was found to be unsubstantiated.

You are right, I was imprecise. What I meant is that “it was not found to be true”, not that “it was found to be not true”.
