Heute am Sonntag Abend (07.04.) erzählt @bekopharm im "Wissenstalk Am Sonntag" etwas über das Spielen unter Linux. Besonderer Fokus liegt hier auf einem seiner (Proton-) Lieblingsspiele "Elite Dangerous".
Miałem ostatnio konwersację ze znajomymi odnośnie lepszego komunikatora grupowego w zespole IT. I pojawił się odwieczny problem:
Slack vs Discord
Co uważacie i jak byście argumentowali za jedną lub drugą opcją? Oczywiście, są też inne (pomijając Teams), natomiast te dwa zdecydowanie dominują w dyskusji i inna opcja musiałaby mieć naprawdę coś specjalnego, aby być w ogóle rozważana.
We've recently started our own Discord server to make it easier to follow the current status of what we're doing here, see new toots on Mastodon, discuss the YouTube and Twitch channels and just hang out together. Come join us!
So #Discord says it's going to start running ads even though it said it wasn't going to.
And #Perplexity said it's going to start running ads even though it said it wasn't going to.
Who is next in line?
#SocialMedia#Discord#AdTech#Ads#Advertising: "Discord had long been strongly opposed to ads, but starting this week, it's giving video game makers the ability to advertise to its users. The introduction of so-called Sponsored Quests marks a notable change from the startup's previous business model, but, at least for now, it seems much less intrusive than the ads shoved into other social media platforms, especially since Discord users can choose not to engage with them.
Discord first announced Sponsored Quests on March 7, with Peter Sellis, Discord's SVP of product, writing in a blog post that users would start seeing them in the "coming weeks." Sponsored Quests offer PC gamers in-game rewards for getting friends to watch a stream of them playing through Discord. Discord senior product communications manager Swaleha Carlson confirmed to Ars Technica that Sponsored Quests launch this week." https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/discord-starts-down-the-dangerous-road-of-ads-this-week/
When I opened #Discord this morning and saw this shit, I actually shouted "Fuck off" at my sceen.
I see Discord has reached stage three of onset enshittification, anyone know any other Skype/discord replacement?
[EDIT] This is apparently an ill-timed April fools joke, but it did not appear on my discord yesterday it turned up today.
To recap: using the native #Discord client on #macOS, each time my partner opens a stream, her #MacBook Air would slow to a crawl or even crash entirely, and she'd need to reboot and just no longer able to watch the stream, other than to switch to her PC.
The (shocking) solution: on her MacBook, use Discord through #Firefox instead. I doubt that it needs to be Firefox, perhaps #Safari would do too, but she used Discord on Firefox and her Mac's able to watch streams on Discord just fine now. She even said she's never experienced Discord this smoothly on her Mac before lol so if anyone has had any issues with Discord on their Mac recently, maybe try using the web client instead.
The sad and hilarious thing is that computer nerds already control the means of production they're just not doing anything with it other than what they're told.
@mhoye Then, they opted for #github to host their code, they built it around Github's CI/CD. They adopted #copilot. Ah, they also built their community on #discord and release their work on centralized proprietary platforms (e.g. #googleplay). Now, they own nothing.
we're experiencing about 5 spam attacks per day on #discord promoting teen porn and steam scams, and it's only getting worse lately. you'd think they could easily implement automatic detection for that, but nah, why would they, when they can slap more nitro promotions instead. absolutely dysfunctional platform...
