Striking like protesting is highly illegal unless it is within a very narrow band of exceptions pre-approved by the. Commonly requires permission or agreements to do it.

The whole just people walk out the door and going on strike is generally speaking not allowed or protected. Doesn’t mean you can’t do it. But yeah…

It’s both actually. They offer both anti cheat and anti tamper protection!

If the victim does nothing when it’s in their power to do something then the victim is infact at fault.

The American people arnt powerless. We have proven that by killing off presidents before.

We have proven that though rallies that moved the entire country to actual action before.

We have proven that by coming together and going to war with ourselves before.

The fact nothing is happening this time in fact. Makes us all at fault me included. The only correct view for an outsider is to victim blame.

Because WE ARE at fault.

At this point unless he actually mans up and follows though with his words, just ignoring him entirely from day 1 is the only correct action.

The fact Iran even entertained him this long is the only reason he has power at all. Countries need to start just ignoring him entirely.

I would take them seriously but their mobile site is a shit spam of donation ads and unuseable.

Seems like a shit company that’s just trying to profit off good messaging from where I’m sitting.

Pretty great example of good message ruined by greed.

If that’s mind boggling then you really need to read an actual history book.

Life for the avg America is FAR from problematic enough to have riots start yet. Even our worse off tend to have just enough care from other Americans to be upset but content. We are taking care of our down trodden just enough.

You need starvation, active destress, or wide spread unemployment.

We have food it’s just expensive.

We arnt in active physical danger.

We have just enough jobs that groups of people arnt massing together.

End of the day the very same message of help your fellow man, do good in your community and decades of social safety nets put into place. Are doing their job of allowing the American people to coast by happy enough.

If you want riots then you need to start making people physically miserable, scared and hungry.

Why the fuck are you censoring Nazi. You can say fucking Nazi online. You can say fuck if you want to.

Why the FUCK are you bowing to the corpo overlords.

Federation is just the current gimmick fad of the foss world.

Everyone has a massive boner for it in everything even when it makes no fucking sense or only harms a project.

Is it cool? Yeah. Is it actually important? Not at fucking all. It’s at best a secondary feature that’s nice to have if it doesn’t harm the project.

Getting an actual product that’s safe, secure and most importantly functional. Is infinity more important then federation.

End to end encryption is kinda the same problem. Not EVERYTHING needs that level of security. You don’t and shouldn’t be talking about things that require that level of secure in apps that aren’t designed first and foremost for that level of safety.

And you can’t expect everything to be secure and user friendly. They go against each other frequently.

Again a nice thing to have, but functional usability comes first.

It’s not a piece of shit atomic distro. Holy fuck that entire concept is toxic.

Bottles is also ran by an absolute shitty person who’s slowly going insane.

Frankly I would avoid bottles even more then lutris and if your going to avoid both just use herotic.

Literally haven’t had a single problem on arch that was due to arch in like 6 years.

Nvidia has caused more issues then arch has.

My computer a 7900xtx and 7800x3d with a crap load of other stuff shoved in there. Idles around 100-150 watts of power with the screen off.

100 watts isn’t a lot, but that’s like leaving a light bulb or two on from when I was a kid!

Unless Im playing an idle game that needs it on just let it hibernate.

To be fair, it’s also inconvenient convoluted and confusing to non-technical users… So yeah it works and some people can use it and others need their handheld quite a bit to even get halfway.

The same problem matrix as. If you’re trying to talk about a discord alternative, you need to aim for the demographic. That is the bottom 50% of the bell curve. If your explanation needs to be longer than two to four sentences on how to use something, then it’s already too complicated and will never take off for the use case.

If you’re looking for a usable open standard that is reliable, xmpp is incredibly good. It’s just not a discord replacement. It’s a discord alternative sure. And a good one at that.

But again till the user experience problem can be solved. Like with most open source things they will never be average user friendly.

That might be the stupidest fucking statement ever.

Your basically asking if unicorns shit gold would you take the unicorn poop.

It’s nonsensical. It doesn’t reflect the reality of the situation. Anyone can make up b******* hypotheticals to make something sound bad. It’s still b*******.

Why the fuck would anyone give a fuck about the plutonium stuff? Kick starters, investment backing, and crowd funding are all standard ways to generate initial revenue. It’s a f****** company. It needs money to buy hardware in paper server costs. Development isn’t free and if you want people to work full-time on something you have to get this pay them.

He basically asked for $300k to start full-time development and Kickstart the company after he left closed development. He provided a full proof of service documentation in history of his closed development.

The only people who have any issue with the plutonium stuff are those who are either too f****** retarded to understand basic business or a too far up their own asses to think that everything should be free in life.

If you self-host you don’t have to pay f****** wild concept considering how many self-toast services actually charge you money for full service. So that alone is already one up on a lot of stuff.

A basic subscription is far more reliable than donations if you want a company to be able to actually function. A subscription provides a reliable income so you can actually plan your costs and budgets. It’s a far better option than microtransactions that discord seems to want to push.

Cuz again server costs and vitamin costs aren’t free. Remember FOSS stands for free as in freedom to do what you want with the software within the license not free as in it doesn’t cost you f****** anything.

If fluxer had come out of the gate with no proof of concept, no history. No explanation of the credentials of the developer. No business license and no source code on demonstration and just said hey. Trust me bro. I need 300 Grand then. Yeah it would be an issue. But lo and behold the reality is none of that’s true.

Could it all go poof belly up and a month time 2 months a year? Yes of course, small businesses die all the time. 300K is not a lot of money for a small business. Frankly, the fact he only asked for $300k is more of a red flag than he asked for money at all. Cuz he’s going to have to pull a lot f****** more money if you wants to do anything remotely clothes to what his goal is. If he had shot for a 500k 600k somewhere in that vicinity. I would personally be more trusting than him asking for $300k. Much more than 600k and I would start asking questions as that’s a little bit much for a initial investment backing.

Seriously, the more I look around on Lemmy the more, I think that nobody here seems to actually understand that s*** costs money.

Unlikely. They make for poor discord community replacements. There’s just too much complexity at the door.

Most things are looking towards fluxer as the replacement. Since it’s actually a discord replacement unlike xmpp or matrix. Which are alternatives not replacements.

Closest your going to get is fluxer. It unfortunately only just entered open beta. So the self host option while there… Is not simple yet.

Tho it’s on the road map.

It broke 100,000 users and growing. The $300,000 the dev raised with his backer Kickstarter thing really is going to get stretched thin really quick with how fast it’s growing.

He’s already had to roll out more servers a few times to my understandings too. Well, self-hosting is currently a thing. It’s still under active development in that really needs to finish up quick to help offload some of the load.

Honestly, once the mobile app is finished and the self-hosting is more stable, it’s basically going to be like the old days of TeamSpeak 3 s when everyone actually liked it.

But with all the modern conveniences and benefits of discord.

It is the only thing currently going around. That’s actually trying to be a replacement for discord. Keyword replacement not alternative.

Like xmpp is an alternative, not a replacement.

The ever continuing trend of foss enthusiasts having less then no fuckinf clue the FUCK normal people use computers for.

Xmpp is great but you are 100% right. It’s not a discord replacement. It never will be. It is court replacement and it is not trying to be a discord replacement. People need to stop trying to force it to be one. The same thing goes with matrix though to a lesser extent.

Matrix at least is trying to be a team’s replacement, which is a legitimate alternative to what discord does for the average user.

Matrix has a whole host of other problems that will make and never be a viable alternative. But none of them are technical in nature. It’s mostly just the fragmentation will nature of it. And how confusing it is to navigate.

At the moment the only two legitimate replacement options are stoat and fluxer. Stoat is a dead end and unluckly to go anywhere. While fluxer is only like 2 weeks into its open beta just released its code base to the public after a long-ass time of closed development. And barely has enough funding even with their Kickstarter thing. Fluxer has passed 100,000 user Mark already and growing.

It’s also the only thing that’s actually trying to be an app for your average user. It’s actually targeting the same demographic discord was.

Which matters a lot. Matrix xmpp all these other things aren’t targeting the same demographic. They are not trying to be a replacement. I mean, I’m sure they’re happy to scoop up some new users and help expand their reach a little bit who doesn’t want to see their project grow after all.

But all these people trying to push matrix xmpp and what not is like going to a construction site telling a worker. Hey, your pickup truck is old and s***** you should stop using it and go use this nice moped while they look at you. Like you’re a f****** retard as they have to lug around a ton and a half of materials and tools everyday in the moped. Why perfectly good means of conveyance will do the job better than the pickup truck as the purpose of a vehicle cannot fully fulfill the same role that the pickup truck fills.

This was voice dictated if the grammar is f***** up. Sorry my brain don’t work too good sometimes

Look at fluxer it’s stoat developed by someone who isn’t retarded. Has done more in a fraction of the time and actually has functional features

See the problem is the details keep getting higher res, but we also never stopped to ask if 32 tentacles was too much…
