It’s them applying the same stray as in the US even though they are in Milan and the roads are twice as narrow.
I suppose they think there is so many cars it would be hard to know in which the couch fucker is. But still you are correct to say that convoy could be easily completely blocked. And in that case you could have an army to defend it it would be a very bad situation.

No. Recently I played a bit using a friends mumble server. And it’s a friend that is already privacy conscious. But these friends are not the norm. They are the exception.
Interesting to see Teamspeak evolved but still you have to pay to host a server so that’s a huge difference.

A federation based discord would be amazing !
But still that’s a big challenge as voice chat will be costly to host.
Also out of curiosity do you aim for something that would connect through the fediverse ?

For context my country (France) is trying to pass a law that forbids the use of social networks to users younger than 15yo. So I suppose this move from Discord is partly due to that.
Now that being said I would hope the verification process will have much more scrutiny in Europe than it would in the US.
I would definitely not be happy about it but if they are not allowed to keep any of the verification data afterwards it could be “acceptable”. But if I have the feeling they keep any data I will actively look into building a Stoat instance and try the even harder task of convincing my friends to switch over.

Well yes, I would say it’s very much an integral part of mt social life.
I spend a lot of time with my gamer friends and it revolves around our discord servers.
We even have a discord servers dedicated to our role play sessions.
IMHO Discord is a bit more than just a voice chat app. It’s also rooms with persistant chats. It’s the ability to share media etc.
Also their noose reduction tech is top notch.
I knew when I got in that it would be another “Gmail” for me. It’s great but you have to give a bit of your soul to it and I knew it would enshitify eventually.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 week ago:
Sure.
But what are you replacing it with ?
I tried Mumble and Teamspeak in the past and it’s pretty far from the same level of comfort.
Don’t take that the wrong way though, I’m all for supporting open alternatives, I’m just saying you have to think about the alternatives too.
I just saw something about Stoat.chat but a lot of people will have to bear the cost of self hosting these servers.
I know I will think carefully before slamming the door on discord.

They also said they play a lot of games so might as well have everything included. Especially when “onboarding” a former Windows user…
- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 2 weeks ago:
You should recommend Nobara then.
- Comment on What digital indie games would you like to see at libraries? 2 weeks ago:
Here would be my list of games that I think are either enriching or artistically so noteworthy they have to be shared as much as possible, and also that would run on fairly basic hardware :
-
Factorio (with the space age DLC) : This is a game about logistic and automation. It teaches a lot and could even open new paths for younger players. It teaches you to itterate, to optimize and to scale things up. I think it’s very much educational. It’s not for everyone but for some it might be a great opportunity to learn.
-
Hades : Great game to discover the Greek mythology. Beautiful artistic direction and outstanding music.
-
Ball X Pit : Less educational or artistic but a great game for all to have some Arcady fun. I think it would fit well for a game to be borrowed for a few hours of fun.
-
Hifi Rush : Am amazing rhythm game that should run on modest hardware.
-
Dredge : A beautiful game about fishing. Great story and art.
-
Stray : 🐱
-
Outer wilds : Do I really need to explain why ?
-
Dispatch : A story game that would fit very well to be borrowed in a digital library.
So a bit of an eclectic list with some games that requires to have at least an old gaming setup or at least slightly modern integrated graphics but I believe many people would at least like one of these game and grow from it.

I’m glad the devs of Clair Obscur got out of this and did their own shit.
- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 4 weeks ago:
Physically removing it is overkill. Just disconnect the SATA cable.
- Comment on Guide - How to buy DDR5 in 2026 5 weeks ago:
I think you can do a memtest with Windows included tool that doesn’t require to install anything. Type memory check or something in the Start menu and the system should require a restart to boot on the memtest.
But obviously setting up a dedicated thumb drive can be useful too.
- Comment on People like this 1 month ago:
My instance of choice decided to unilaterally and without any warning whatsoever disable downvotes. Just to “try it out”.
I’m still pissed about it to this day.
I mean that google removes any kind of downvotes is one stupid thing, but that people think this makes content “better” is crazy to me.
Now I do understand that in small communities the weight of a super negative account can be quite an issue… But is removing completely any negative feedback the solution ? Really, it’s all we got ?
Also the simple fact that a lot of this community is from Reddit, IMO it’s not okay to disable a feature like that without even voting on it.
So if you think disabling negative feedback fixes an issue, you have the burden to prove or at least explain the reasoning.
I for sure dont think it didn’t make YouTube any less of a cesspool to disable downvotes on it…

Is it a key difference though ?
If you exploit people that has only one choice : Taking whatever shit job they can… Barely paid enough to survive. They are not slave per se but their boss couldn’t be happier to have cheap labor that has no leverage whatsoever and would accept anything anyway.
To some extent I think some big business are borderline slave owners even though you could say all their slaves could leave their job and die from hunger.

I guess we will see very soon with the release of Arc Raiders…
(According to IGN it’s a Fortnite clone pretty much because you have a pickaxe and it’s TPS.
- Comment on Does the US charge tariffs on handbags from France? 4 months ago:
I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s in their interest to inform their clients and I wouldn’t think they would blame a consumer for tariffs they have no control over.
It’s possible they might not know but it’s worth asking.
Good luck !

I would suggest asking the seller using their contact form, if any is available.
Feel free to pm me if you need help locating their contact form on their website (I’m french).

- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 4 months ago:
I think the devs are making a mistake by reacting interacting the trolls.
They are people frothing at the mouth and sent on that steam page with a political agenda. It seems the devs think they will “change their minds” after they brought the topic of slavery for no reason…
So I will add this to my wishlist check if I can report the posts that are straight up insults or racists and move on.
The trolls in question can’t stand that this game might be successful and there is nothing they can do beside review bombing at release which should trigger Steam’s detection.
Don’t feed the trolls and entertain them with a discussion…

- Comment on How Do I Validate My Game Idea? (Please Help) 5 months ago:
Not many mentioned that but maybe a publisher can help ?
My understanding is that the right publisher could give you good feedback for your game and can have good knowledge of what works or not. I’m not saying like some big publishers but one that shares your vision for the game and could help.
