I think the original question could be about the protocol. Why not use Matrix as the protocol for the project? No one is doing the work to bring a Matrix-based Discord alternative because they're a) on Discord b) creatin IRC face-lifts like Element c) refusing to quit IRC d) making projects with bespoke protocols like this one. It's incredibly frustrating.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

These plugins just never work quite as well as a browser made specifically for it, namely Qutebrowser. Trouble with Qutebrowser is that's it's Python and parsing a lot of links slows it down. Still the best browser out there for this use case though, as far as I know.

Follow small vtubers, don't go on X and don't go on YouTube. Save yourself from this stupidity.

What you're saying is "inevitable" hasn't happened for the entire 20+ years of Steam. I'm going to guess Valve is going to continue being a private company and doing whatever the fuck they want, without investor pressure towards enshittification.

Steam's monopoly is actually what's holding PC gaming together. Other types of digital distribution services are so fucked up by exclusivity deals that any "competition" is always going to mean "megacorporation uses existing wealth to deny competition".

Epic is trying really hard to bring the exclusivity nightmare over to PC gaming as well, but so far Valve still holds.

Qtox should work? It's not a very good chat software and a bit cumbersome, but it allows direct file transfers.

Required for single player as well.

Do note that Microsoft wants you to make a Microsoft account on top of your Steam account before you can play.

Just some happy moments in an otherwise grim election. I had one NA friend confirm they can see the video, but tell me if you get geo-blocked. (press the play button with "Katso" next to it).

Sad to see 'cause it feels like we need Pirate Parties more than ever.

"Record result" doesn't even begin to describe how hard they shattered their previous number. They went from 7% last election to 17%. Left Alliance has never seen numbers like this as far as I know.

From what I've seen, apart from Snake Island, they've made small gains at the very edges of the battle line but lost a City at the heart of the eastern battle. From what I've read, they're trying to form a bigger counteroffensive right now and have been urging Ukrainians to evacuate from occupied territories before the real battles commence as it'll get ugly. They're also getting another big batch of tanks from Poland.
