I'd LOVE a resource like that! I'm sure it exists but I never found it, and it is a silly thing to be hung up on but I just didn't properly understand the folder structure. I've still used Linux plenty but I'm dragging my feet on using it as a daily driver, but I'm VERY close to making the jump.

Kung Fury is a self aware satire/homage. Breen is just incredible insanity.

I can't really explain it. I didn't really like beer at all (and had actively tried to see if I could like it for years). A friend had me try a pineapple ipa and it was like a switch flipped in my brain. It started with IPAs and somehow now I like most beer now.

Tastes are weird.

Calls and easily sharing my screen are 90% of my use cases for Discord. The entire appeal of it initially was that it was a more functional Ventrilo with both text and voice channels. Hopefully something FOSS gets further developed by the time Discord completely shits the bed.

Somehow I read "fired upon" and I was imagining Mel Gibson just shooting at them until they agreed to restore the gun rights.

That's fair, but for awhile that setting only worked on desktop, and various apps still may or may not respect the setting. I've never encountered someone who enjoys this being on be default.

It's obviously not great for the type of community that's about knowledge sharing and learning, and it does suck that a lot of communities went there.

But it's a great platform for simple social servers that are just about communicating. It's super easy to sign up and set up a server. A lot of it just works well for chat.

Them going public probably puts a timer on the service though, so if it happens Discord probably just will get worse.

HEY YOU'RE RIGHT! The people organizing and participating in this believe that this one day of action will solve every abstract problem that exists! I also have simplistic understanding of protest and goals! I also prefer to be snarky at anyone attempting to voice dissent towards the insanity happening in our country!

I'm really sorry to go over the top here, but seriously, there's no fucking handbook for what we're going through right now. There's no questgiver telling us concrete steps to take down objectively evil people. There's just people trying to figure out how to connect with each other and how to collectively voice dissent. Maybe we should give more credit to people doing imperfect things than to those doing nothing other than pointing out how imperfectly those things are.

Long cat! He looks just like mine.

I think it's supposed to be tongue in cheek.

Real question, how do you get the data to make this judgement? How much more dangerous is it, and what's the threshold when the danger chance is negligible enough?

3rd party can't really gain power with first past the post. We have to implement ranked choice or approval voting before meaningful 3rd party choices are viable.
