  • Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

  • Thats true but ID companies are not lobbying or making changes on a scale that matters. This change isnt going through because an id company lobbied the government. Its actually a popular position with the constituents of the democracy. Its supported by many different interest groups for various reasons good and bad. To simplify it down to "id companies lobbying the government to earn money" is in my opinion intentionally misleading.

  • how is a government requirement for age verification forcing a company to implement a non profitable change the fault of capitalism? I guess the 10 years have been a good sample of what capitalism does to a platform. Discord saw a problem and used VC capital to build one of the most well engineered platforms on the market with hundreds of millions of free users and many happy to pay to support it.

  • Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users: Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like "Budget-Chicken-2425"

  • i used to use reddit from 2014 to 2024 and its gotten far more rightwing. The sheer amount of accepted racism and openly right wing stances on reddit these days is shocking to me. That kind of stuff would get you insta banned or downvoted into oblivion. Reddit culture has completely 180'd and it has no remnants of its former self.

  • This has happened so many times

  • I think it will come back. Given that its using a system notification to suggest an app that is suggested to me in every app I open, pinned to my taskbar, pinned to my start menu and built into my keyboard.

  • I hope you're right because I am enjoying Microsoft's failures and I would like them to continue.

  • Thats bad actually, the free advertising to linux was a good thing. Now Windows users will slip back into apathy.

  • We aren’t allowed to talk Linux anymore or we’d have to leave

    I get this, in my own house. We need speakeasy for linux.

  • yeah being casual in comp games can still be fun! I never got past silver 2 in CSGO and I had a great time. I was dogshit by all metrics but I way more fun than when I was Diamond in LoL(that was miserable).

    People were more friendly, there were dudes ripping bongs and rapping mid round. I could play with any of my friends, I could play tired, drunk no worries, no ruining the game etc.

  • Whats something new thats actually good?

  • SBCs like Rasberry Pi. To have easy to use low cost computers be this powerful truly is the future. We have so many tools available to us these days. With open source software, low cost hard and a bit of learning we can save $1000s of dollars that would have gone straight into the pockets of tech companies.

    Electric bikes are cool, I see them growing in popularity around my city and its getting people used to biking who never would have before. Because there are a ton of hills people would hand wave and say oh im not fit enough to bike. Its having a flow on effect, they realise they enjoy biking so they do it more and lose weight. Gov sees people using the bike lanes and invests more in them.

    No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

    Jump

  • Its scum behavior but its smart. If you can get your product into a reddit thread that gives a ton of free high quality advertising. Its why the site turned to site so fast once normal people found out about it. Suddenly you had products being shilled in every community and threads created solely for the purpose of posting a reply that said to buy a product. AI is just a cherry ontop of the already souless reddit behaviour and quite frankly its what they deserve.

  • probably quicker and easier to just write whatever calculation you need in python

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"

    Jump

  • Is that true? I've seen devs list their games off steam for steamprice -30%. Often you can go to a devs website and buy the game $10 cheaper. However I still buy it via steam because i feel like i'll forget about the game if its just a key in my email.

  • De-Escalating Social Media

    Jump

  • It could be a hint to the algorithm to stop pushing the content because you wouldn't want something incorrect circulating. But then people may not want to use it but also those people would be the same ones who are happy to lie in a viral tweet.

  • it's a simple question

  • there is only one "hard" distro and thats linux from scratch. Maybe nixOS due to lack of info and needing some time to get into the mindset of how nix does things.

  • Wayland didn’t kill Linux desktops, but it did expose their weakest assumptions [EDIT: Warning, article likely written with AI assistance]

  • You arent forced to do anything and why the fuck would you think im talking about hyprland. Pretty sure your whole comment is just trolling and you dont believe a single thing you're saying.
