It's still worthwhile, and it will be for the foreseeable future. If you want to dabble in desktop with C#, Avalonia is the best way to go nowadays. I'm having a blast with it working on a couple of projects for my assigned client

Yeah, it's not popular. Most won't thank them for the upcoming enshittification of Bandcamp.

That's some comic book villain.

They (Discord team) seem to not know what Free Software means too. Some time ago I asked them whether they planned to ever become Free Software so it could be actually safe and have a community around it, and after a couple of messages they

Discord _is_ particularly hostile to user privacy, that said.

Thank the reds we're not all forced to speak German.

It is tragic that they won't support .MOE domains. Would have moved years ago by now.

Oh, it's the kiddo who thinks they are very smart and adult for being a proud-to-be-misinformed gratuitous anticommie again.

Then the individual goes on the dumber-than-life anti-communist rant. I love how he tries to create a bunker with "if you disagree you're into Scrum". I dislike Scrum quite a bit, but oh gee ain't that a full plate for S

You use Mac. You are already being attacked by Apple. Both on the permissions to run the computing you want, and your data being harvested by them. Good on you nonetheless to check one less, but the one still open is much larger, so the fig

Will never understand why doesn't Nintendo sue them for this.

It's "winning" personal user data with ease. It fits.

by dancemethis 3y ago
Not using particularly privacy-hostile platforms is the actual best kind of security.

by dancemethis 3y ago
I mean, that's not _too_ different from the way Discord "officially" sells user data in the shadows.

In a way, this is pretty amusing. Two people ending up having very different conversations... talking to each other.

I mean, I'm super against supporting hostile government countries, but a lot of stuff is made in the US. It's hard to avoid money going there.

Apple is ready to pay a bit to keep pretending they have encryption. Must mean the money they get in the back from their user data is much bigger.

It's not, because Free Software handles practical and ethical advantages as an indivisible unit, while open source focus only on promoting practical advantages.

It's unfortunate it's not actually going to be Free Software, but being able to at least audit and do non-commercial is... better than Notion, I guess. But I do retract a fair portion of my excitement over the project. Your "

So, yeah, unless Notion becomes Free Software and actually secure soon, there's the Notion killer.

Tom Clancy is, because his games need to keep screaming "HEY THIS IS BY TOM CLANCY, OK? LOOK AT ME, TOM CLANCY, I'M BEING TOM CLANCY!" in their titles.

Since I've seen it (around HN, no less) years ago, it has been among the first few installations on every machine I handled. Beautiful. It feels tall in just the right way.

Probably the first time I see brouhaha being used outside King Crimson's "Elephant Talk".

> Avast and AVG no longer pose a threat to user privacy, meaning both products are 100% safe to use. They are still proprietary. They definitely do pose a threat.

Good on you (and everyone) for releasing it as Free Software. Just the target is unfortunate.
88.
by dancemethis 3y ago
It's beyond ironic that Discord called itself that, being the successor to OpenFeint and its privacy lawsuit scandal, and being proprietary. Now it is one of the most privacy-hostile AND preservation-hostile platforms around.

This is going to be very confusing, since FF4J already means the Japanese version of Final Fantasy IV on the SNES.

The real question is why in tarnation does this redirect to "operacao404.mj.gov.br".
