@dangoodin
I'll take a look at those later, thanks. But I don't get the argument about password managers. The police can't force me to hand over the encryption keys nor are the encrypted (and hopefully synced/backed up) passwords at risk if stolen. A passkey only protectd by biometrics or a weak pin seems to be.

(I agree with the phishing argument though seeing as most can't be bothered with proper 2fa :S)

@cliffwade Also this topic is something that needs to be discussed before it actually happens, because once they do it it will be too late as they already have all the data. So we need to either stop them from doing it or stop giving them data... ignoring it until it's too late just because it's not already happening right now is just naive. We've seen this pattern plenty of times with companies propped up by venture capital. They need to turn a profit elentually no matter how.

the_moep, 10 days ago

@cliffwade I am not sure they will, I am saying it's a possibility as lots of other companies offering services without any business model just with venture capital have gone that path once they needed to be profitable. And that we need do stop it from happening do Discord or if we can't do that stop people from feeding it more data.

The only fact in my statements is that other companies already went that route and it's not unrealistic to assume the same could happen.

the_moep, 10 days ago

@cliffwade Please explain their business model to me then and provide info on how they are profitable. Because right now they are deploying functions to use their user base as advertisement among their friend-groups (their new game streaming bounty system) which is basically already selling their user data (just not directly of course, but that doesn't matter. They are making profit by changing user behaviour instead of selling anything)

@cliffwade @pixelfed @stemy @Mrfunkedude
Oh and that completely ignores that their whole company is running at a loss and they still have not managed to find a strategy to finance the service... meaning that in the end they will have to sell user data (if they don't already).

@cliffwade @pixelfed @stemy @Mrfunkedude
Discord is a company that not only has a (shoddy) centralized service but also violates its users privacy (e.g. they extracted system usage data in the past even with options for that turned off) additionally to the obvious issues with being proprietary. They literally offer nothing of value beyond "ease of use" (if you only use their service (if you are fine with their limited feature set (if you are fine with their bugs)))

the_moep, 10 days ago

@cliffwade Again: Why are you sure in that believe that they will never sell data? Your are stating speculations as fact as if the future is already written.

the_moep, 10 days ago

@cliffwade Where did I say that they are actually selling user data? Please don't make stuff up just because it fits your point. I am clearly talking about their prospect of doing so if they don't find a way of generating profit in a different way. Which their trajectory is currently looking like imo. If you don't think that it looks like it then that's fine and I'm interested in why you think that. This is a discussion about the theoretical future of Discord after all.

@steely_glint Are we sure it even understands what a "kilogram" is seeing as it is American 👀

@nixCraft
Ap"I let everoyne access iCloud content"ple is winning the poll? How weird. The only reason they seem "trustworthy" is their marketing and that they prevent researchers from testing their shit properly because they would have to first buy hardware from them.

I reluctantly answered Google because they are the only ones on that list that didn't have major leaks/hacks. (At least how far as I'm aware off)

@cgervasi @stux This just misses a couple of wind turbines, solar panels and hydro plants just standing to the side saying "Uh, guys? Aren't you forgetting someone?"

the_moep, 5 days ago

@stux Wtf kind of nuclear lobby shilling are you on about?!? We already have something better! It's called renewable energy.

the_moep, 25 days ago

@stux tried to use it today and it seems like Cloudflare blocks it :S 12ft.io worked though.

@markhughes @digiconomist
You mean Ethereum? 👀

They moved to proof of stake and imo. other currencies need to be pressured to investigate more environment-friendly mechanisms too.

@freemo Just so you know, your website doesn't load on Android Firefox with uBo, LocalDns, and JShelter.

the_moep, 3 months ago

@freemo
I'm sorry, scratch that. Apparently it was an issue in the browser that first occurred on your site. Other newly opened sites didn't work as well but opening ones I regularly visit worked... (I assume some DNS dumbness happened 👀) Force-restarting (or maybe waiting?) solved that.

@darth inb4 it's only the Bedrock Edition.

Err, did you create them manually? Because they need a joiner character in between. Emoji picker do that automatically though. (And then it depends on the Unicode standard your font supports)

the_moep, 3 months ago

@tony @evan
This doesn't even render correctly for me :S Hence why I just use the default. 👀

@maxim Really depends on what exactly you mean by that tbh.
If by "tackle" you mean actually grabbing someone then I would say "anpacken" or just "angreifen" (as in "attacking") Main issue here is that it's a term based on American Football so often just used as "tackle" by Germans too. I wouldn't think of "schleudern" for "tackle" tbh. as that's more "throwing" something than actually grabbing someone.
If you mean just as a general bumping maybe "stoßen"?

As for "dash": I would use "flitzen"

@schenklklopfer Also das Tweaken des Garbage Collectors und anderer Parameter zur Runtimeoptimierung ist bei Java das Equivalent zu dem was du bei PHP meinst. Das ist ja eine der Stärken der JVM, dass man ohne Codeanpassungen einiges am internen Verhalten anpassen kann. (Java Entwickler haben davon aber oft keine Ahnung)

Aber wenn die Probleme wirklich von einem Memory Leak gibt dann müsste da nadürlich der Entwickler selber was fixen.

the_moep, 2 months ago

@schenklklopfer In den meisten Fällen zweiteres. Empfehle außerdem erst zu schauen ob sich der Garbage Collector richtig verhält (zB. via JMX GC stats) und dessen Einstellungen zu tweaken bzw. auf einen anderen zu wechseln bevor sinnlos Speicher draufgehauen wird (was in den meisten Fällen nur dazu führt, dass die Probleme später auftreten)

Memory Leaks im Code sind natürlich auch immer eine Möglichkeit, kommt aber sehr auf die Anwendung an ob das wahrscheinlich ist.

I mean, biometric security was never enough... you always needed a pin/password for it to be secure. People just ignored that for convenience reasons -.-

@milan
Welches OS/DE und Skalierungsaktor hat das Problem? Hatte damit auch gekämpft und es dann under PopOS mit derem angepassten Gnome dann hinbekommen dass sowohl 1.5 als auch 1.75 gut aussahen. (Nutz 1.5 aber inzwischen da mehr Platz für Inhalte, gerade in IntelliJ :D)
Ich glaub ich hatte da irgendwo was in Gnome umgestellt, kann später mal nachschauen wenn das helfen könnte.

@TerribleMaps Boy must've he been confused when a reached "Japan" way before he expected it :mastorofl:
