Moonwalking is only feature complete when accompanied by HE-HEEE or AU!!!

In one such new study, researchers found that men and women infected by the parasite ended up being rated as more attractive and healthier-looking than non-infected individuals.

Aha, see, it’s not that I’m ugly, I’m just not infected by the right parasite!

In addition, women carrying the parasite were found to have lower body mass and lower BMI than non-infected women,

Well, guess we can predict the next weight loss fad.

That said, all of this is speculation at this point,

Nooooooooooo, it’s on the internet now, it must be true!!!

Now with extra radium for extra health!

They’re writing TypeScript that compiles to JavaScript that runs in a V8 engine written in C++ that’s making system calls to an OS kernel that’s scheduling threads across cores they’ve never thought about, hitting RAM through a memory controller with caching layers they couldn’t diagram, all while npm pulls in 400 packages they’ve never read a line of.

Yeah, I noticed something was off around the time every new app was essentially “the fucking website on a self contained chrome browser”, aka electron. Sure, it was sold off as being a “write once, run everywhere”, but a significant number of said programs and games were still either windows or android exclusive because ha ha fuck you (anyone that’s dealt with RPM MV/MZ knows it).

Some layers of abstraction are incredibly welcome - not having to worry about cycles and RAM addressing, having immediate access to graphics without having to reinvent pixel pushing function; but (imo) everything on top of a browser is just an endless series of “why?”

The company’s deploying AI-powered inference to estimate user ages based on behavioral patterns, account history, and other signals already in its systems. Only when that automated prediction fails or flags uncertainty will users face requests for manual verification through ID uploads or facial scanning.

Oh, so it’s even easier to game it and pretend to be “an adult”. Simply avoid any minecraft and roblox communities to be an instant adult.

Discord didn’t specify exactly what percentage constitutes a “vast majority,” nor did it detail which signals feed into its age prediction models. That lack of transparency could become its own issue as regulators increasingly scrutinize how platforms handle youth safety versus privacy rights.

Big brother is watching you masturbate, for your own good, of course.

For the subset of users who do get flagged for manual verification, Discord says it’s partnering with third-party services that specialize in age verification tech. These vendors typically process ID documents or facial scans without permanently storing biometric data, though implementation details remain vague.

It’s not permanent storage if they delete after safely selling to interested buys!

As lawmakers ramp up age verification requirements globally, expect more platforms to walk this tightrope between compliance and community trust.

I wonder if this is what might actually push more people into “host your own shit” that’s easy to shut down and migrate as needed.

Search whatever you’re looking for with yandex.com - they don’t block pirate sites. Be sure to have uBlock Origin on your browser, you WILL need it. Direct Download (ddl) sites can often have 3+ redirects before the actual, real download link, so it’s good to save favorites when it’s only 1

For shows, animes and movies, you’re better off finding streaming sites, which you can find above.

Lastly, telegram. Yes, the app. You can find several channels/groups that share stuff. I follow a couple that share IT/Gaming/Animation related courses. You can find series, animes and other stuff, too.

This. I live in Brazil, I torrent often and have never received any letter from my ISP or anyone. Close to 20 years now surfing the p2p waves.

Yes, I alluded to that in the first comment

Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier

I found it really odd that your server has to get a registration key from their server

Huh, I didn’t know that, maybe that’s only with the docker image? If not, that’s bad news waiting to happen, I’m afraid :/

You can buy companies, organizations and people that run FOSS projects, thus buying the project. Audacity was bought and enshitified. SimpleApps suffered a similar fate on Android.

In both cases, the community forked the last “good” version and renamed the project

Rocket.chat would be my first recommendation, tho it looks more corporate aimed. It also claims to support Matrix federation.

You could also give Jami a try, it’s p2p so it doesn’t need servers.

It’s voice chat features are lacking, it has no video chat yet

There’s rocketchat, too, which bills itself more corporately

Until some company buys it and then it has to rename again. Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier

Wish DeltaChat would work better.

Or that Jami would properly look for new messages after a user configurable amount of time - sometimes it’ll only do that if you restart the app

You mean stoat :)

for-desktop Electron desktop wrapper for Revite

Oh for fucks’ sake

They can shove that shit together with a razor up their asses

I tried installing matrix once on a VM at work. A lot of work to get it running and it refused to work for some reason. I guess there are better alternatives, something made with xmpp or even rocketchat

There’s a term called “dependency hell”. Sure, this one dependency is fine, but it depends on 3 other libraries, those 3 depend on a sum of 7 others, etc…
