I started using Discord in 2015 and around 2019 uninstalled it in favor of using it exclusively through a web browser (blocking as much of it’s nonsense as possible). Discord takes too many resources hostage if anyone in your server is streaming something, even if you’re not watching it. I don’t have that issue when using Element (Matrix), Jitsi or any of Steam’s broadcasting tools. The only reason I haven’t deleted my Discord account yet is because some people I hold dear are incapable of trying something better nowadays (even when they already have it installed as is the case of Steam).

Keep up the good work, it’s always good to have alternatives. But please at least fix the link in your post, it’s giving a bad first impression.

My man. 👌

Let him have it. Pocket never was the kind of tool I’d use to save and organize info I find online. But if anyone else is worried sick about this here are some easily browsable alternatives: https://alternativeto.net/category/books--news/read-later/

Get Spam Blocker from F-Droid and if you like it and want a bit more filtering that’s also compatible with the app check out Phoneblock.net. I was going to add that you might need to translate the site but it seems to be available in more languages now. 🎉

Wouldn’t have noticed. 😏

Not a fan. Borderlands 3 made it happen.

Every once in a very long while a miracle can happen, like when some people called out drinking so much milk daily couldn’t be good.

Someone clearly has never used context menus or opened their account settings in Mastodon.

Gen AI should be an optional tool to help us improve our work and life, not an unavoidable subscription service that makes it all worse and makes us dumber in the process.

Good stuff! 👌

Was about to comment that. I’m never trusting dual boot with Windows installed.

Yeah, Sean Penn is fucking amazing. 🫶

We could more or less camouflage it under some kind of hardcore, daring and unflinching vibe. Show empathy and tolerance, but make it look like we’re a fearless Sean Penn and couldn’t give less of a fuck.

He does have the looks, huh? Too many people lately prefer to believe whatever requires the least effort from them. It goes something like: “Hey, that person’s being openly sexist!” - “Hold on, they can’t be sexist. Their mother is a woman!” - “Oh, thank heavens! For a moment there I was about to get really mad at them. I could’ve done something awful like blocking them on social media!”

Sad to see a nazi getting his pictures shared here (not Linus, obviously). 😔

Worse. He’s a nazi scumbag that poses as a neurodivergent victim in need of therapy and tolerance whenever his hate speech backfires. He’s also been caught redhanded using fake accounts to hound and harass people he dislikes. He’s not related to tech in any way and isn’t an expert in any field. Just your average toxic streamer making as much noise as he can.

What a pleasant surprise to find posts like yours around here! It seems we’ve shared some headaches too. Will surely stick around!

The point, I believe, wasn’t about spam but likely got derailed. It was probably about the phone number requirement being unnecessary. I’ll just add that even if it is, it’s a measure geared towards common users that often need to recover access to their accounts through means they’re already familiar with, as is a verification SMS. It’s not the safest nor the most private, but it’s easier to deal with for most people. Whoever wants something that doesn’t depend on a SIM or eSIM should try Briar and SimpleX. None of these will be a perfect solution for every single person though.
