I usually follow with "why not?", but forgot this time. Thank you for this. Again, I love it.

This is so cursed, there is so much that begs the question - "why?"...

I love it.

I can't wait for the next beautiful nightmare. Maybe someone should mix font rendering with PDF rendering. Of course, with a LLM doing something in the middle.

How runtime-y of you.

You put that close to Discord's office, a bunch of bats fly out from the windows...

maybe not 9, to avoid breaking compatibility...

One of the most pleasing things I've seen in a long, long while.

Yeah, "Konami" has been a consistent bad time.

Apple is privacy last, if anything. Forgotten PRISM already?

Used it for a couple of internal applications for a former client, zero cost.

Claim to be ethical, yet don't deliver in the country the coffee is actually made.

As OpenFeint with another coat of paint and selling more user data and metadata than ever, it never was not evil.

Rich developers who don't mind giving their client's "secrets" to Apple.*

_The_ Pareto? The thin-voiced lawyer who was the victim of Brazil's best prank call in the 80s?

No, A Pareto, the excellent economist.

They also do very, very little in terms of personal data protection.

Tangentially, Cloudflare REALLY needs to start supporting transferring .moe domains already.

...A what?

It's double as funny because Discord knows of the piracy going on (since they have direct access to all user data and metadata), but the "rights owners" don't pay them enough in the back door to catch them.

Don't use it for anything, really. It's impressively hostile towards user privacy and safety, and that's taking into account it "competes" in that field with the likes of Apple, Meta and Google.

"Pareto" being used outside the context of Brazil's best prank call ever (Telerj Prank) will always confuse me. I keep thinking, "what does the 'thin-voiced lawyer' have to do with statistics?"...

well, Slack is the one having the last laugh, since they get their hands on a lot of "sensitive business data".

I have a very soft spot for this kind of "campfire story". Open Office not printing on Tuesdays comes to mind. Anyone got some more?

I mean, in a way yes, but in another not...

Genecyst as NESticle's sister can provide better context.

Congratulations and kudos on picking a strong Free Software license! Thank you for pushing the world into better places.

Time for them to cash in some more on the user data and metadata they are selling, I guess.

Why these folks don't blow the whistle is beyond me.

Friendly reminder that "Nostr", just like all things with a missing vowel like this, is spelled "Nostrrrrrrrr" with the 'r' imitating an old vehicle's motor for a few seconds.

It's the way the users of this pattern want and like it.

US? Stop spying?

That's a textbook case of "lol. lmao even", if I've ever seen one.

I mean, it's a proprietary platform. It can't even be guaranteed the data isn't tampered with - same case as Whatsapp.

It's a PR move to _say_ they did it.

That's so bad it's almost as bad as discord.

I mean, if there's a company that doesn't care about user privacy, that's Discord.

There they go, saying Whatsapp is using their tech without proof they haven't tampered with it. Doing propaganda for proprietary shovelware.
