Discord is not publicly traded yet, so you can’t buy Discord stock on the stock market. A publicly traded company has registered its shares for trading on a public stock exchange such as the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange, and that hasn’t happened yet for Discord.Nov 17, 2023
While the exact percentage of Tencent’s ownership in Discord is not publicly disclosed, reports indicate that Tencent acquired a minority stake in the company through a funding round in 2018. This investment allowed Discord to secure substantial funding and further develop its platform and services. Despite Tencent’s involvement, Discord maintains its operational independence and continues to be managed by its own team.
No, you are saying that you are entitled to an developers code if they leave a project just because they let you test it. You are entitled as fuck.
Engywuck ( @Engywuck ) True… It amazes me when people become so entitled online, especially in the FOSS community. It looks like they think devs owe them something.
jarfil ( @jarfil ) They got free testing for the promise of releasing the source, then failed to fulfill that promise, so… yeah, they do owe those people something.
No, I’m a foss dev, and I speak for all of us when I ask you to please not join any of our communities.
Also I’m calling you out. You need to put up or shut up evidence of where that developer said that he would release his code as open source. And that he would do it in return for you testing it.
As far as I know the developer never actually said he would release the source. That is purely hearsay from @jarfil. He seems to think that if an app or program is free then it also must follow that it’s open source.
The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large...
Furries will never get respect from me. Being a furry is a choice. Lugbitiqua is not.
That furries are generally part of the LGBT community is interesting, but that doesn’t somehow make being a furry a protected group. If you choose to stick your goody bits in a fursuit more power to you, but if people make fun of you for being a grown (and seemingly predominantly functional) adult in a fursuit, that’s just the price of being a furry.
That word is the key part of the sentence, but you keep making statements and inferences which amount to putting words in my mouth.
That said,
I don’t go out of my way to make fun of furries, but a lot of people do. Why? Probably because it’s ridiculous, cringy, and weird. But you do you. Also, on a practical note… The logistics of fursuits (as in humping in them, getting them all sweaty, cum all over the inside, soaking them in a bathtub, and scrubbing them out) is just fucking nasty.
But it’s your hobby, go wild. But don’t bother getting buttmad when people make fun of you for it.
I don’t have any revulsion to furries. I simply don’t care. They don’t effect me in any real way.
What I do have a very big problem with is furries trying to somehow make themselves a part of the LGBTQ community. Imagine for a second that it actually happened. The LGBTQ community welcomes furries with open arms. At that point you have undermined the entire movement! Sure, me and other lefties like me are always going to support LGBTQ. But what about the ton of people that sit in the middle of the road that have no dog in the fight one way or the other? Instinctively they know that supporting LGBTQ is correct, and the right thing to do.
But then all of the sudden furries become part of that group. At that point you’ve probably lost most of those middle of the road type of people.
People love to think of this as right-wing versus left wing, and yes that is a big part of it, but the thing is that the vast majority of people are actually more in the middle. They generally lean right or left of the middle but those people in particular will go right sometimes or sometimes they’ll go left depending on what it is. We need those people. Those people help Lefties get elected and indirectly help affect change.
Imagine what kind of a field day right-wingers would have with that. The attack ads write themselves. It would be an absolute shit show and the LGBTQ movement would be essentially dead in the water. Don’t forget that literally half of the fucking idiots “very good people” on the right believe that teachers were putting kitty litter in classrooms.
In general I don’t care about furries one way or another. As I stated, what I do care about is furries trying to position themselves under the LGBTQ umbrella. I care a lot about that, and you should as well.
You may not realize it, but this is why Hamas was telling people to stay in their houses and not leave. Because this has happened before, this is not a new thing.

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....
RCS is an open standard. Many mobile providers dragged their feet for so long that Google finally just started making it so that Google messages would relay RCS through their servers. The whole point is for the carriers to have RCS servers. Blame the carriers not Google for this. For once, Google isn’t the one that did something shitty.

This should really be a top level comment. This actually solves a lot of my issues with Linux.
I remember complaining that Linux apps were not self-contained like Windows apps are. And I got the standard speech about losing space with libraries blah blah blah and my reaction is I don’t fucking care.
In my opinion, Linux dependency setup is hilariously broken. I understand that for the most part it works, but when it doesn’t the results are disastrous generally.
I love every single one of the movies since 2009 (there is one I take issue with, bit it’s relatively minor) and every single one of the new shows. I’ve never seen any of the old shows and they hold absolutely no interest for me.
Having said that, I love Discovery. It is an absolutely fantastic show.
Strange New worlds is among one of the best sci-fi shows I’ve ever watched. It is absolutely fantastic and Anson Mount is utterly fantastic.
For me, the Orville is a window into old Star Trek. I absolutely love The Orville. The way that it touches on difficult subjects is done so beautifully that I can’t even begin to gush about how perfect it is. The moclan arc with topa and the follow-ups were so wonderfully done. As a cis white guy, I can’t think of a better way to handle and portray these situations and how important they are than the way the Orville did.
It is my personal opinion that the biggest enemies of Star Trek are it’s hardcore fans. You guys shit on everything that isn’t old Star Trek and you make it so that new viewers are less likely to check out the shows. You like to crap all over Discovery without understanding that is actually a really good show. It’s also a really good way to bring people like myself that could give a shit less about Star Trek into the universe so that I’m more likely to check out other shows like strange New worlds for example which is about the best representation of what Star Trek is that we’re ever going to get.
That said I do have one major gripe. Beasty boys? JJ Lim, are you fucking stupid? The movie was great up until that point, and then you chose the dumbest way to close it out. How the fuck did this get out of table reading? What the actual absolute fuck?
"I don’t want to pay the government $20 a month for universal healthcare. I want to pay a private company $200 a month for healthcare that is only covered at select locations by select facilities by select doctors and can be denied at any time by the insurance company. Freedom!“
No they can’t. Single payer means that all the control is in the governments hands, because there are plenty of providers and only one payer for the entire 300+ million Americans. This is how single payer works. Medicare does this, for example.
In the current system there is 0 incentive to lower prices. The incentive becomes to charge as much as will be maximally paid.
Before you try to argue, the nhs, Canadian healthcare system, and pretty much every developed country that isn’t the US, would like to have a word.
You don’t know that. You don’t know if the guy in the parking lot is a civilian or not. Also, there are many, many, other screams of people crying out in anguish. Generally, when I’m trying to not be a fucking monster, I don’t launch missiles or other weapons of war in crowded parking lots. But hey, that’s me and I actually have a functional fucking conscience.
Atheists are far less likely to be committing genocide. Atheist tend to value skepticism and science highly as well as logic and reason. Combining these generally leads to people who are humanists at their core.
I’m not aware of a single war that was ever carried out under the banner of atheism.
