The worst part about discord to me is that it’s used as a knowledge base for open source projects and games and such. This puts things in a walled garden. I instantly get turned off by a thing when the homepage is “join our discord” or I see a comment like “oh it’s explained in the discord.”
It’s only a matter of time before discord becomes paywalled, and all the knowledge out there ceases to be public.
It’s another tech bubble like the dot com bubble. But at this point, the AI bubble, the crypto bubble, and the capitalism bubble will all crash at the same time as the world economy falls apart and we end up in another global war. I guess the accelerationists that survive will get their wish and see what remains and if it’s the neofuedalist white supremacy utopia they dream of
Unfortunately this isn’t about you, but the 90% of people who don’t understand what AI is at all and don’t give a shit where the responses come from as long as “scorpio dream meaning high school teacher truck” and “can you gregnant with cousin?” Give them answers they like
/s to an extent, but here we are
Yeah as a web dev as well this seems like a pretty neat alternative:
Sounds a lot like crypto
You don’t say
Well, they’re doing what they already have been and absorbing it into teams. Teams video chat is littered with the bits of leftover Skype tech references, they’re just making sure it’s an enterprise product they can bill monthly for instead of a free consumer product
Well yeah “shutting down” here is more like “absorbed” into teams. They don’t make “enough” money from consumers to keep it going, but they do from their teams subscriptions. The tech is and will further be ported to teams and the branding changed.
Yeah he’s just a puppet of the oligarchy, and it’s far too late. His “benefactors” have been sending him instructions on judges to hire, people to promote to his cabinet, executive orders to sign, etc, and he does it all and then spews some nonsense in interviews. Pretty incredible how easy it was to buy the US government.
The funny part though is when the plan starts to fall apart because a party based on distrust can’t function.
I’m sourcing Fox News on purpose here. The Trump puppets are now bickering and it took like a month. The collapse is imminent unless some strong judges stop sending strongly worded letters and what’s left of the congress that cares begins voting unanimously and proposing bills unanimously to block what’s happening.
Who in history had absolute wealth and or power and used it to great benefit for their people?
absolute power (& wealth) corrupts absolutely
Agreed. For me it’s very hard to feel the same about software projects that are like “fuck the corporations! Learn more on our discord.” Because the mental gymnastics are wild
