Discord is genuinely a great tool for what I used to use Skype for. Talking to my friends, and sharing dumb memes with them in a groupchat format. Companies need to learn that using it as a forum, a Q&A service, a wiki or any other information sharing purpose, is simply fucking retarded.

I don't mind very punishing death mechanics, but when pvp is involved I absolutely hate it. I play more than the average person, but when some sweaty ass pvp'er who plays 80 hours/week shows up, it's just never going to be any kind of competitive fight. There is no way I will ever be able to do anything against that kind of player, and I'm also not in any way interested in trying. I like pve, not pvp.

Here in Denmark we need the government 2FA to pay for our stuff online. It's an extra identity check on the credit card to make sure the card hasn't been stolen. We don't do government vouchers here, because we have a very good safetynet based on a salary from the government if we're jobless. Kinda like UBI, but you only get it if you don't have a job, so not entirely UBI. The rate isn't anything good, but it's enough to survive.

Our 2FA is used for by far most things. Like if I want to login on my phone carriers website, I'll use the 2FA. Need to check up on my taxes? 2FA. Sign legal documents? 2FA. The way it works is, I've chosen a username which I write on the website login page, no password is used here. Then I open the 2FA app, login, grant access. If I try to login to a website on anything else than my phone, I need to scan a QR code displayed on the website aswell. This way I only need to remember the password for the 2FA and my username. We haven't had any issues with security in this system in the 4,5 years it's been online.

It's a pretty good system, if it's any interrest it's in Denmark.

My government 2FA can't work on those OSs. Could get a physical device that shows the code, but that's nowhere near as practical. Without that 2FA I can't pay online, check mail from the government, login to my bank, move my adress, change my phone plan. Everything is set up through the 2FA, which is convenient as fuck, and super safe, but requires either Apple or Android.

And lets be real here for a second. It costs actual money to develop and update Plex. All these people being butthurt about no longer being able to watch everything for free are entitled as fuck. It's okay to pay developers for their time and expertise. A carpenter expects you to pay them. A painter also expects you to pay them. A software engineer expects to be paid for their work, and they won't if people use their software for free. If you don't want to pay for it, download your own shit, and if you're hosting for a lot of users, tell all the users to download their own shit.

You don't slave over Geuguessr like some sort of MMORPG?

My tv is 4k, but I exclusively watch 1080p movies and series on it. I'm not going to double my subscription costs just to get 4k streaming, and most piratable files are 1080p.

It's an impressive difference really. I've yet to be called any slurs here, and most people seem to follow the "upvote if it adds to the discussion, downvote if it doesn't" principle. I'm totally fine with a more limited amount of content if that's the tradeoff.

Honestly, sounds like the corporation's problem. I'm more afraid for human lives than some product in the back. In a case like that it'd be better to not have a driver who could be killed.

Not trying to be a dick, i simply don't know, but what does that have to do with the post and pewdiepie?
