Kamikaze Rusher

Probably documents from HP’s atrocious support site

Or ICE in the last six months

Seriously. There are better ways to ensure privacy with identity verification.

Similar experience here. Some companies just want to pin a scapegoat should they be held liable. Others are just assholes from top to bottom.

You did your due diligence. You almost got burned. Decide for yourself if it’s worth it next time. Not every act in good faith receives a good response.

I’m all for jumping ship on the grounds of this being an overreach. However there just aren’t any good alternatives to Discord which would entice the general public from following suit.

Discord has the advantage of being a very frictionless user experience. You make one account and can join whatever servers you want thanks to its centralized design. It has file sharing, gif and video support, voice channels, screen sharing, API support with websocket events, and a hefty amount of bots to ease management.

There are other solutions but they don’t cover the same amount of features. Some focus on voice, some focus on chat, and some try to do as much but the experience isn’t quite robust. It’ll be like Reddit users and the API fiasco that people thought would be its downfall: the activists will leave but the general community won’t care enough, or aren’t tech-savvy enough, to be bothered.

Judge Fred Biery was appointed by Clinton and actually blocked the 2025 state law that would otherwise have required displaying the 10 Commandments in public classrooms.

I see this as him pointing out to Trump’s supporters that the actions of this administration are not only inhumane but run contrary to core Christian teachings. If the “pro-Christian” administration isn’t being very Christian then call out their hypocrisy.

Some states have already begun to require sites to detect connections from VPNs and block them.
