Plus, if you make $100k per month and live like this, you’ve probably got $98500 left at the end of the month. You don’t need to have too many months like that before you don’t need to work anymore.

It’s the difference of controlling the character (mouse down -> head tilts down) or controlling a camera attached to the character (mouse down -> camera moves down -> camera stays pointing towards the character’s viewpoint -> view angles upwards) to me.

Element is a client that uses the Matrix protocol, not a separate thing on its own.

It’s pretty far from fine, but regardless, this is the midterms; he’s not running for anything.

Hey OP, if you don’t edit in the link to the article in question, your post is on Death Row.

Plot twist: This is in the lobby at a Vet clinic.

If you want to dig it up, I’ll add the disclaimer to that post. It’s just a copy/paste post I’ve been using any time Discord’s shitty behavior comes up, so it would be nice to have more information if it exists.

Only mention of it I can find is:

User-generated Content

Messages, pictures, and files are stored ONLY so that recipients can receive them and users can access their message history. Voice, video, and screensharing calls are transmitted in real time. Root does not record or store these calls. User data is not sold to third parties and is not used to train AI models.

If you’re still using Discord, consider the wealth of alternatives:

Matrix is the federated option. Allows self-hosting with federation, has encryption (though it seems to have vulnerabilities - be mindful), supports both public and private rooms. Does not support voice or video.

Stoat, formerly Revolt, is a very close analog. It’s FOSS, and is self-hostable, but does not federate - users on a private instance will not be able to interact with users on the public one. Supports voice; video not yet supported (I don’t believe) but is on the roadmap.

Root is very close to Discord but is closed source. Supports voice and video.

Fluxer is another close analog. Supports voice and video (and has the highest quality streaming out of all of them). Has an optional Nitro-like subscription (cheaper than Nitro, offers more) to fund it. It’s FOSS and supports self-hosting.

This is the crux. It’s not about voting for genocide or not genocide; it’s about voting for genocide, or genocide with a side of fascism. There’s a clearly better choice. If you’re a left-leaning person and you choose to vote third party instead of voting for the less- or non-fascist candidate, you’re not only wasting your vote, but you’re directly contributing to things like we’re experiencing right now. If you think Harris would have been worse for the country, or for Gaza, than Trump is, I think you’re delusional.

I’m fully convinced that the people who promote that sort of rhetoric are either astroturfers trying to convince people to waste their vote, or just don’t understand how the voting process works in the US.

SatansMaggotyCumFart has the right of it: Push progressive candidates in the primary, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good in the general. If you vote third party in the general because the neither of the two viable candidates perfectly aligns with your desires, it’s every bit as bad as a centrist deciding to vote for the GOP candidate. Vote for whichever of those candidates is better.

That feels like a weak argument, revenge porn is a crime, so is illustrated csam.

Not everywhere. If it’s legal where the admin lives and legal where the server is hosted, you can’t really make this argument. You could make the argument that it’s morally wrong, but like… the point is that it’s a possible point of contention, and not as cut-and-dried as you suggest.

Also the ideology of a nsfw community is a straight-forward issue.

You’d think so, but like… What about disagreements over what type of content should be allowed? Should they allow AI generated stuff? Revenge porn? Illustrated art depicting minors? Specific extreme fetishes?

Possessing that would have immediately declared you the King or Queen of the Playground when I was a kid. Nobody would have even thought to contest your rule.

Of course not, just like rich non-citizens will have exceptions made for them. The rules only apply to the poors.

I lowkey wish ‘disappear into the woods for 30 years’ was even a viable option. There’s something deeply appealing about just living off the grid and away from society with a small group of close friends, living simply and self-sufficiently and just leaving the modern world behind.

She wasn’t “my” candidate, any more than Donald Trump was “your” candidate. I voted against Donald Trump. Folks who voted third party didn’t do that. They may not have voted for him, but they didn’t vote against him.

This, really, is what gets me about billionaires. Literally any of them could have just faded into obscurity years ago, lived a life of abject luxury and never had a single worry. Or, they could have spent like 10% of their wealth on improving things for society as a whole, and everyone would have loved them for it. But no - they all had to just focus on hoarding more and more and making things worse and worse for everyone else. It’s fucking baffling to me.

Ah, yes. Because that’s the most objectionable part of that opinion, not ‘We should jail people for their voting behavior’. Can you get any more authoritarian?

Edit: But sure, if that’s where we’re going, I’ll bite:

It was a two party race. There were no other viable candidates. You didn’t vote against Trump in any meaningful way; you did nothing to prevent our current situation, and that’s a pretty wild stance to be defending.

Well, I suppose you’re welcome to your opinion, even if it’s an absolutely horrid one.

Send them back to NK. Send them the first leg of the trip on a bus driven by a single unarmed soldier. If the North Koreans somehow manage to overpower the driver and commandeer the bus, and drive it to wherever they please… “Well, shucks, guys, we did what we could.”
