What a terrible country.
All three of them.

I own one of these. I have zero issues replacing the cells 😃

Nope. They’re headed straight towards jackboot dictatorship.

If nothing else, Trump and his henchmen are proving day after day that the Americans talking big about their god-given Second Amendment right that keeps the government in check as the reason to own so many firearms and overlook so many deaths by firearm was basically a pretense: this is literally the scenario when they swore right and left they would exercise it and they aren’t.

All a bunch of phoneys, is what they are. And they’re getting the nasty dictatorship they richly deserve.

I fail to see Discord as anything other than IRC with too many emojis and primary colors for the short of attention span, implemented as a humongous pile of Web 2.0 nonsense, with Big Data surveillance built in.

Privacy and resource comsumption issues notwithstanding, the few times I’ve had to use it to connect with people in certain communities that could basically only be found on Discord, it was unbearable to this gen-Xer: it’s just as fast and as shallow as IRC, but somehow I feel the extra symbolic and color overload would have triggered a seizure if I was epileptic. It’s maddering.

Oh well, maybe I’m old.

When you use the Discord app, you use a browser - Chromium specifically: Discord is an electro app.

In other word, if you already run a browser that burns hundreds of megabytes of RAM, disk, and requires tons of CPU do display simplistic things, as browsers do, you might as well use it to access Discord instead of running a second insanely wasteful browser disguised as a native app.

My experience with Discord, period:

So what? Trump and his henchmen don’t obey the courts. Haven’t you noticed?

Doesn’t it bother anybody in Belgium that the future queen of Belgium doesn’t study in Belgium? There are great universities in Belgium, on both sides of the language border.

It’s the Russian resistance’s long game: in 10 years, there won’t be enough young people left to send to die at the front, so the war will naturally peter out.

Greta Thunberg - how to milk one viral moment you had as a kid and make a career out of it.

As a Linux user of almost 30 years, compiling hundreds of kernels over the years has given me a great appreciation of pre-build kernels, and a profound gratitude for those who package them up into convenient distros that work out of the box and let me get on with the rest of my life.
