Hello Lemmy!
I recently discovered the "Request my data" function of Discord. Now that I have the data Discord knows about me.
I would like to make an experiment that could be used to explain how metadata can say a lot about people.
The problem is, I never done that :grinning face with sweat: so I would like to know how I could get everything I can, only from the metadata contained in the package.
I know it's possible, according to the length of calls, the umber of messages, etc, to guess what kind of relation a user have with another, but I don't know how to do that.
This is a description of the data package: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004957991
Can you help me to know what are the information I can determine about myself using this package (only the metadata, or it's not fair :p)
Thanks in advance!

This is the things I use on my computer. :)
Conditions for a good software accoridng to me
- Least number of visual stimulations. No notifications, no sounds, no tons of button everywhere... Best if it can be only used using keyboard.
- Light, my computer also wants to benefit from minimalism.
- Respects its users. It needs to be "free software" (free as freedom)
- Being necessary for you.
The basic stuff
- Xubuntu is my operating system.
- dwm (plus dmenu) is my window manager. Everything is done using a few shortcuts and takes no space on the screen. The shortcuts are easy to get, but the installation might be tricky for new linux users.
- st is my terminal. I use it for coding, writing and managing my system. The only thing I changed to it was to change the fontsize and enable the scrollback patch. But again it might be tricky to install for new linux users.
Browsing online
I already tried other stuff like "surf" but I don't like it because I want to use an adblocker.
- Firefox is my favorite browser. I use it because it's lighter than other browsers, and I can install uBlock Origin.
Writing
I need to write things for school and for myself. So I mainly use Marktext or nano to write my stuff.
- Marktext is a markdown editor. I like markdown because I don't want to pass the majority of my time on choosing fonts and stuff like that. Also I think it's more handy and reliable. I only use this app for exporting into pdf. I write using
nano
- Nano is a terminal-based editor. Very easy to use, only terminal based. I use for both writing markdown and writing code.
- Libreoffice if I really need to have a "classic" office suite.
Communication
Chatting
- dino (xmpp client), it is my favorite chatting software. I like it more than Discord because, instead of joining a ton of useless channels, you only join the ones you want. (Also it's lighter than Matrix.)
- HexChat is my favorite IRC client. Yes I still use IRC, it's so simple and stupid, I love it!
Emails
- Thunderbird, it has a very "brut" interface, but very handy and powerful. You can setup filters to automatically clean your inbox. I never get up to 20 messages in my inbox this way.
Coding
I use nano as my code editor. That's it, same thing as said above.
- nano and st is my IDE :)
- openscad is the cad software I use. Basically, design things in 3D using code.
Video
- Shotcut is a nice video editor. Pretty straight forward. When I need something more advanced, I use kdenlive.
- VLC is a nice video viewer.
Photo
- Firefox is my image viewer.
- GIMP is my image editor. I don't want to use photoshop.
Sound
- Audacity is useful when I need to record sound
- pavucontrol is the tool I use to manage the input/output audio stuff.
- Musecore is a score editor I use to digitalize and read piano scores.
