They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

Good. I hope people will move away from it soon. I hate Discord for banning third-party clients and datamining my system for installed apps. So I’ve never really used it.

It does mean I’m excluded from some FOSS projects’ support like Home Assistant but to hell with that :P

Hopefully those FOSS projects will gain some sense as discord becomes more shit and will leave. One can hope.

I never understood how a chatroom took off as a tool to document stuff. Who seriously thinks this is a good idea? 😵

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
