I like it a lot, but sometimes I feel he's going to get eaten alive by the character he's created. He should tone it down a notch sometimes.

IRC still rules. No ads in my irssi.

If you mean that in some channels only some people can actually "talk", I think it depends on the configuration of the channel, but it's a possibility.

I thought people used Discord because you could have video / audio chats (not sure about this, I've used it very sparsely.)

And then there are Open Source projects that use Discord as the documentation repository. Hell is a place on the Internet, apparently.

You're right, I completely misinterpreted the comment. The thing is that "voice" is a very specific term within IRC, and I got confused :D

Damn, I was used to work around shitty stuff on Teams. Are you telling me they're going to push another, different set of bugs on me now?

What has been your involvement with Reddit as a user so far? I'm trying to understand what users are getting those offers.

Rising water: Quebec lender ending new mortgages in flood zones ’just the beginning’ ( montrealgazette.com )

Desjardins Group announced as of Feb. 1 it would no longer offer new mortgages for properties in “0-20 year” flood zones — where there is a five per cent chance of flooding in any given year — because of what it called the rising effect of climate change....

We can't have nice things.

The full text describes clusterfuck after clusterfuck. It's worth registering (it's free to read) even just for this one.

Gnomon. A massive disappointment.

Also, some (most?) RSS readers don't need the path to the feed directly. You give them the regular URL and they'll figure it out. TinyTinyRSS does it.

Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' ( www.404media.co )

Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models.

I wish I had known about Power Delete Suite. I nuked my posts / comments by hand :-(

The EU Court ruled that “Backdoors may also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously compromise the security of all users’ electronic communications. The Court takes note of the dangers of restricting encryption described by many experts in the field.” Any requirement to build in backdoors to encryption...

Yes, these things are never dead. They just come back under a different name / pretensions until they pass.

I created an account a few months ago but I've barely used it. DDG provides pretty much everything I search for. This might be because I don't typically do very "esoteric" searches, but for now I don't see the need for a paid service. Most of the times, tweaking the query so that it looks for a specific source is good enough.

I'd love if DDG had a system to remove entire domains entirely from the results, though.

Came here to post a similar comment zedeus made in another thread:

Nitter is dead.

I still checked some Twitter accounts from people that were interesting to me and didn't migrate to Mastodon. One less thing to worry about, I guess.

Yes, I'm aware those filters exist, but I'm asking about the practical implications of the set up I mentioned in the post.

Where's that? I just ran a test search but I can't see it :-?
