I don't know what it is, but in the past few years I've gone the reverse of everything dark mode to everything light mode or full color mode.

I finally did it for #discord and it looks so strange to me. It looks almost not modern if that makes sense.
What do you prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode?
#darkmode #lightmode

Ihr kennt sie dich auch, diese Tech Journalisten und InternetExperten, die in ihrem Podcast ständig drüber reden, welche Daten schon wieder in die Hände von den TechBros und Faschisten gewandert sind und dann im gleichen Atemzug die Vorzüge ihrer eigenen selbst geschaffenen #Discord Community loben.
Wo sie selber wissen, das Düse Daten auch abfließen.

Wie soll man solche Leute noch ernst nehmen?

Es sit ja nicht do, dsd man so eine Community nicht auch mit OpenSource Tools wie
#Revolt #Discouse #Mattermost usw. hätte aufbauen können

Discord wprowadzi wideo--reklamy. Takie, których nie można przerwać, i trzeba oglądać do końca.

To zawsze wygląda tak samo: oni oferują zamkniętą usługę za free, ludzie dla "wygody" zaczynają używać, a jak serwis urośnie wystarczająco (wy pobudujecie społeczności, ciężko odejść) to zmienia zasady gry.

Zawsze tak jest z bigtechami finansowanymi przez venture capital.

Uprzedzałem 😉

No ale matrix jest zbyt trudny 😜

I had to smile. 🙂

A chat last night in the No Man's Sky Discord, folks tipping their hat to Hello Games for the incredible NMS comeback story, was -interrupted- by Sean Murray dropping an incoming update emoji, out of nowhere. Another (free) update is imminent!

This pretty much sums up the No Man's Sky experience over the past nine years.

Tient, Discord ajoute de la publicité vidéo en juin dans son client (oui prévisible, on l'avait prévu depuis 2015) …

Du coup, pour les personnes qui seraient intéressées de migrer vers autre chose pour vos famille, vos groupe de potes, vos asso, etc…

I hear people are doing a surprise-pikachu about Discord's new ad push?
arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0

Truly surprising that a *checks notes* proprietary, centralized, VC-funded platform started enshittifying the moment it gained enough market share to make it very difficult for people to flow elsewhere. 🤯

Nobody saw that coming! :blobcat0_0:

DigitalTrends: Discord is supercharging games with built-in messaging and voice chats. “Discord has announced a new Social SDK to allow developers to integrate Discord-powered communication features directly into their games. This means gamers will be able to message, invite, and voice chat with their friends super easily — even if they don’t have a Discord account.”

so because I don't have anything better to do my current setup looks like this: I am using debian 12 in wsl on windows 11 to connect irssi (#irc client) to my znc bouncer on my Debian VPS that connects to #bitlbee on the same VPS to connect to #discord via purple. All that so I can chat with a friend on discord from the terminal instead of switching to the other window.

And the worst is that it works without a hitch.
