It’s not detailed enough to really know what they meant, but for example and if I recall correctly, Android on a phone can get rootkitted in such a way that resetting the phone will not remove what was installed. This is because Android has a “System” partition and a “User” partition. When you “reset” a phone, it only wipes the user partition in most cases, so any malware installed to the system side would be untouched.
This is why you have to be real careful if you should purchase an Android phone second hand from a private seller.

- Comment on Is martial arts really that useful? 4 months ago:
When faced with a firearm or a knife, any self respecting martial artist will tell you the one technique that will save your life.
Running the fuck away and or taking cover.
When it comes to hand to hand combat, understanding the dynamics of how to protect yourself and control the opposer like in Jiu Jitsu is very useful and can also potentially save your life.
But no, if they have a weapon of any kind, get the fuck out of there.

Revolt chat.

For sure, in my case it is important to me as I am heavily involved with a lot of small streamer communities, and discord is the all-encompassing product which nearly all streamers use for announcements and updates, community projects, and sharing any non-stream content that is not a video.
Depending on how this goes with discord, this could be incredibly damaging to so many of these communities and I would really hate to see that.

The article states that it is opt-out and that there would be a toggleable setting to turn it off, but if they are going this way it does not bode well.
For anyone like me looking for an application with the same aesthetic feel and general functionality as discord (if Matrix chat does not suit you), then take a look at revolt chat github.com/revoltchat.
It’s basically an open source discord clone that looks almost identical, but lacks some of the more advanced features of discord.
