Same here, been hating on Discord from day one since you are the product with free services.

I do a significant amount of computing on my desktop, but yeah, social media, and by that I mean only Lemmy. I really only use on my phone when I’m away from my computer.

No just voice channels, I’m glad they have them but it was completely missing from their marketing on the website. Just says “text channels done right” and there isn’t a single line about voice support

Edit, found a reddit post from about a month ago which is copied below. So it looks like it barely supports voice so far.

"Apparently The voice chat feature has been brought back in stoat

It only works in the desktop version though. Mobile devices you’re going to have to wait a bit longer though.

Otherwise the quality of it is really really good but you will experience a massive delay in your voice being sent through the voice medium. It’s about 800 millisecond delay even with the fastest speeds. But at least it’s something. "

No VOIP? That’s the only reason I ever use discord, when my friends force me to so I can talk while we play games. Guess teamspeak is still king

The point is the need for more and more data storage is never going to stop.

You’re completely right, but it is still better than the current option by most measures for sane people.

“YOUREEEE BEEEINNNNGGGGG RECORRRDEEEDD”

Obviously a lot of us here don’t like Tesla for good reason, but you’re wrong on this front. They did a lot of lobbying in like every state to try and remove restrictions on car companies needing to sell through dealerships. They did a lot of good in that singular aspect.

“oh great, competition in a market with no competition. Horrible.”

Intel has already been making discrete GPUs for two generations and they are very cheap and aren’t the most performant but fantastic for the price.

I’d rather a non-US player enter the market like moorethreads, but because of us capitalist assholes, handicapping China competition for a long time they aren’t going to be able to make cards that are up to our performance standards till the 2030s probably

Gotta be as bad as america in some aspects

The original comment said Google, instead of Bezos, I have no idea why they edited their comment to this. Maybe they are thinking of Microsoft, who recently handed over encryption keys, but they don’t make phones anymore, lol.

As another said, a Pixel with Graphene OS is likely the most secure device you can have, even against an Apple product. Cellebrite, the software a lot of governments use to break into these phones can’t get into a Pixel device before first unlock with Graphene OS. I believe a number of Apple products are the same thing as they can’t be accessed before first unlock or lockdown mode, but your data is more secure in the hands of an open source developer than a massive capitalist company.

Also, a notable feature of GrapheneOS is automatic reboots after no use for any arbitrary time value you want, so your phone will always be in a “before first unlock” state if some steals it like the government. They also have lockdown mode as well, not sure how that works technically on Android beyond disabling biometrics.

Im pretty into self hosting and have a number of public facing services like 4get and SearXNG, those two don’t use that much data. Also host immich for myself and family to replace Google Photos. Some of the bigger data hogs.

Archive warrior - I run a Docker container that constantly scrapes, compresses, and uploads whatever data the internet archive team wants most. I’ve had it running for a couple years now and they’ve had me scraping Telegram. That does a couple hundred gigs a month.

I2P Router - The invisible internet project, it’s sort of like Tor, but in my opinion more secure and better because it uses garlic routing instead of more centralized servers. Although it’s way less popular than Tor and seems most people use it for torrenting. Either way, I recently started hosting a router because governments around the world are cracking down on freedom of speech and censoriship, and increasing their surveillance powers. So I want to support the network and help it grow, this by itself does ~1TB of upload and download a month. Everyone in the world should start pivoting to more secure and decentralized internet solutions like this. Fuck the government.

Linux ISOs torrents - I love Linux, what can I say?

Backup server - I have an off-site Raspberry Pi backup server at my friend’s house that I do nightly backups of my important data to. So just depending on how much I’ve built up since the last backup that can be modest in size.

Otherwise we have a sort of high bandwidth household with video content consumption.

Well, I guess they saw this legislation coming and are already trying to comply.

I’m pretty sure they likely did what they did with the steam LCD, which was order an absolutely insane amount of units that they had stock for years. The semi-custom AMD chip they’re using likely needed a minimum order of millions of units.

I can’t remember which vehicles, but I’ve seen some cars that have flush handles but are still mechanical. You push on one side and it mechanically pivots the handle out that you grab and pull. So you can still do the exact same thing for beauty standards/aerodynamics, just using a different design philosophy that is probably safer. Maybe it’s rivian I’m thinking of?

Doesn’t Ketamine have risk of bladder issues with continued use? Or is that generally higher doses

I disagree. A very high CRI warm white is just as good as daylight in the kitchen. And better way less ugly

They’ve made substantial progress in the past 10 years. Sadly, the lack of access to EUVL machines is what’s really holding them back from making higher end and more competitive technologies.

They are actively working on making EUVL machines domestically, which would be incredible given ASML is the only organization in the world that currently makes them. Still, it’ll probably not be till the 2030s that they actually can get into production with that.

If this is a topic that interests you, GamersNexus did an awesome hour-long deep dive into a couple Chinese chip companies and what they’ve been making and how they are being unfairly handicapped by the west, and the incredible progress they are making despite that. This is sort of perfect timing for Chinese players to enter the market given Western companies are gouging consumers and losing the good will, pretty much every PC enthusiast in the world would be happy to buy Chinese products over Western ones based strictly on price of performance is up to par.

Good questions. I tried looking for some information but didn’t find much and their website refuses to load for me
