  • So you’d prefer no solution?

    I get the hatred, no one loathes Discord more than me, but on their own time and dime they’re giving an option for those who avoid Discord. I can’t understand why your first, and only thought, is to shit on it.

    Discord’s pervasive, and has become the default option for too many projects, but I can see why - it is free, and everyone uses it. Easy for us, who haven’t built a fucking giant program and community to sit back and sneer at how they offer support, but this is it. It’s all done now.

    Just be glad they’re giving people an option. This isn’t even a ‘solution’ quote-unquote. It is a solution, that will take time and care and effort. Which they’re doing.

    Jesus.




  • I bring this up often because its so amusing to me.

    Last year I did a lot of interviews with developers of popular Steam Deck and Linux programs. All went really well, and were quite fun to do.

    One ‘dev’ (I use that term so loosely because I found out GPT is heavily used for their work) freaked out though when they saw my document I sent initially was an .odt file.

    Knowing I am a pen-tester, they freaked out and told the public at large I was trying to hack them with a weird file type.

    .odt

    It still makes me laugh. Anyway, I swear by LibreOffice, I use it daily and love it so much!
