Also using it since their first release, and all of the new features have impeded my usage. Server nicknames are fantastic but I couldn't tell you how to access that feature. I have to relearn where that option is every single time.

Nitro, Shop, and Quests. What are these even?

Even their changelog page is wtf (https://discord.com/tags/changelog)

Your comment reads like a case study from "Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving" by Pete Walker. Many of his studies focus on childhood experiences that are overall "happy" but fall short of "emotionally fulfilling".

The standalone functionality is the selling point for me

The way he talks about OAI-HF, even the abbreviation, is lol. They will do anything to sell this "incident" as a "danger". The ego on these people is the real existential threat to civilization.

Chex Quest was really good, wasn't it!? I was so impressed. Today I learned, it is known for having been the first video game ever to be included as a cereal box prize.

I miss the sound and visuals from a good degaussing

This doesn't appear to be accurate. Every study I'm reading does not come to this conclusion.

Search hasn't been neutral or stable in a very long time, although I agree it has been pretending to be those things.

AWS hosts all DoD cloud infrastructure. Isn't that analogous?

Thank you for your courage.

So what, then? Disallow code that isn't deemed credible or professional by what metric? This whole thing is getting too political. I just want to write open-source software and let the users decide its worth.

Let's point out the absurdity that saying "all information must be accessible" is synonymous with "all information must be disclosed". These are not congruent statements.

If it has nothing to do with children, then why is it named the KIDS Act? Are we being bamboozled? And you are IN SUPPORT OF that? Am I taking crazy pills?

You could make any flag out of non-vegan materials, sure. But that this flag was designed with the basis of cruelty (silk) makes it also conceptually non-vegan.

What a great way to unite the world in a practice of cruelty to its inhabitants

- 1worldforhumansonlyflag - 1worldindifferenttosufferingflag

The whole idea falls flat on its face because of this for me.

Again, you are truly blessed. I've lived in multiple places (California) where the rent increases by the maximum allowed amount every year ($100-$200). None of your friends refer to their houses as "units", do they? You can't compare your situation with theirs lol

Walking into a hotel lobby to get a map printed seems like a much greater surveillance risk than looking up directions on my phone. The cameras, the printer, the hotel staff, the other hotel guests; they’re all third party to your private information. Is that really any better than Apple or Google telemetry?

One important note I didn’t see here:
