OK, who else needs a progress/danger clock bot for their ttrpg game server?
I commissioned one and have the option to make it installable on other servers for a little more $$, but I want to know if there's any demand first.
Netflix - Pushes mobile games, can't hide them.
WhatsApp - Pushes AI on top of your chat history, can't hide it.
Discord - Pushes ad on top of your chats, can't hide it.
The enshitification never ends...

We were testing #galene as an alternative to #discord video/voice-chat in online #ttrpg sessions today. (In addition to #irc as a chat that is)
It worked fine. Galene has really low ressource demands and we had multiple people in the chat on two continents with good quality video and multiple simultaneous screenshare windows at the same time.
If discord enshittifies too much I think we at least have a way to play our games.

Most of time #Discord app issues can be resolved by clearing cache, updating drivers, disabling overlays, or reinstalling the app. https://windows101tricks.com/discord-keeps-crashing/ #howto #tech #Technology
I open Discord and it notifies me that I have a new direct message. I click on it and it's just Discord trying to sell me Nitro 
Get the hell out of here with that nonsense. This is part of the reason why I started up 199X.chat. Maybe Discord can go beg Tencent for more money.

D'ailleurs, on m'a posé une question à laquelle je n'ai pas su répondre.
#Discord on en pense quoi ?
Okay, what's the best #Discord alternative for a #chat platform, I want one for my #streamer / #vtuber community, currently using Discord but want to Own It and such. For real this time.
Is #element / #matrix still the biggest one? I guess there's #IRC, I want whatever I can get the largest non-zero number of people using. And voice chat ideally, video not necessary.
I'm really not a fan of Discord's new "nameplate" feature. (https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/30408457944215-Nameplates-FAQ)
Not because you can buy more stuff for money. Everyone can decide that for themselves. *shrugs*
BUT: It changes how you are shown in the user list of a channel, this is really confusing and I think the way and color you're displayed in the user list is something that should solely be based on your roles.
And it seems server admins also can't deactivate it. *sighs*
Typical Discord decisions...
People are way too comfortable being assholes on #discord. Social media with no real "account wide ban" seems responsible for that, well plus Discord's average user age seems to be like 15

Obs.: Pergunto porque meu #notebook está cada vez mais pesado (e quente), e eu gostaria de tentar usar #linux , mas se a curva de aprendizado for muito complicada vou preferir deixar pra outro momento.
Aliás: Usar Linux me ajudaria com isso do notebook?

- Sou #fotografa , então edito imagens com os programas obtidos daquele jeito...

@simendsjo @jackdaniel #XMPP has all those features, and there's a fairly big #Lisp / #Scheme / #CommonLisp channel there - https://xmpp.link/#lisp@conference.a3.pm?join
It might not have everything that #Discord does, but it's vastly better than #IRC. And there's a cost to using #proprietary and #centralized services, which people constantly forget about in chasing convenience and shiny features.
Here's a guide to help you get started.

The best thing for Signals growth isn't [insert latest fuckery from the US], it's the enshitification of Discord.
One ad, and I've already set up Signal for daily use.
It should be obvious what happens if I see more 
My #Discord account got banned because they are sure I am a minor. They want an official government ID that proofs I am old enough use Discord. They want a picture showing me holding the ID and holding a sheet of paper with my username written down.
People like me who do not want to give their ID to random companies will now not have access to their account, their connections.
I made a new account instead. 1/x >>
