Same. I'm sure Discord is special to people today in the same way that AIM, IRC and phpBB forums were special to me growing up.

I'm not OP but I dated the daughter of very conservative parents for several years before finally marrying her. We each lived at home and in fact she moved into my home after marri…

Depends. My wife moved in with my elderly (I was born late), widowed parent and I right after our wedding because there was no way I could leave them to fend for themselves after e…

I don't have any opinion on Rust but reading about microservices, JSON and IPC in the context of a high-performance editor did make me raise an eyebrow.

I live in Montreal (in a less severely hit area) and there's definitely a psychological element to it. My elderly father lives with us. He worked in hospitals and during his heyday…

You wouldn't get fined but I can't imagine Tinder dates being seen favorably during a pandemic, even in Sweden. On another note I'm genuinely curious to see what the conclusion wil…

I'm tempted to agree with you, although in the case of Epic it was about stuff like a Chinese company owning a minority stake, or devs choosing Epic as a launch platform (for actua…

I think it's often underestimated just how many people don't care and are just focused on doing their job and feeding their kids. They might passively agree or disagree with someth…

Yeah, whenever I read stuff like that I feel like I've been living in a parallel world. I've always grown up around people who played video games and they've never cared about anyt…

I agree with you but your individual account deletion doesn't really prove him wrong that he and others value their convenience over other people's rights. I've actually yet to eve…

My Win10 PC has been pestering me about the latest feature update(s) for months now but they repeatedly fail because of some generic driver error, which I briefly tried troubleshoo…

I used to say that until I started doing sports competitions and had to travel there repeatedly. I was admittedly worried because of my ethnicity but it went fine (a Canadian passp…

I dunno, the South China Morning Post reported on China essentially phasing out Islam [1], and that's on top of their ethnic cleansing with the Uyghur. 1: https://m.scmp.com/news/c…

Yeah I'm glad this is being cast into the light. I understand that the real reason why they're going after the Uyghur is to squelsh any separatist initiatives and that their religi…

I had sort of come to peace with China having such heavy surveillance. Not because I approved of it but really there's only so much you can judge when your tax dollars go towards h…

I don't know about the democracy part but he also mentioned religion and their ethnic cleansing of Muslims seems pretty bad from what I've read.

Carlin did comedy his whole life though. And I don't personally hear Carlin references more than I do Murphy ones. Eddie quit pretty early as you know, so I can't help but suspect …

Yup it's his personal Twitter. No one was contesting his right to post whatever he wants. But as soon as you're trying to address an audience it comes with certain responsibilities…

It doesn't matter if they deserve it or not. I have problems with Windows 10 every time I turn on my PC. I hate the state of modern software. But I don't go out on Twitter and call…

Casey always makes interesting points about modern computing and I tend to agree with a lot of what he says. Unfortunately he has a bad habit of insulting people on public platform…

Isn't the whole point of Signal that it's e2e encrypted and therefore can't really read and share your messages? Whereas Facebook's system is centralized? So yeah you're safe from …

The article isn't about bad encryption though. It's not about a flaw in the signal protocol or something like that. It's stuff like Moxie doesn't like F-Droid. Which is not an inva…

I already mentioned in my comment above that when a chat app misbehaves I don't spend time doing that and that my friends are even less likely to. It might seem unfair to you but t…

I'm happy for you. Buf that doesn't undo what happened to us.

I was on Wire for a time and even got other people on board. Then the experience suddenly degraded out of nowhere. The desktop and web clients would never finish syncing. Some othe…
