there are levels of data hygiene and levels of inconvenience people willing to put up with. Pumping less data points into the machine is still better than pumping more
We're a weird mix of nerds in our mid to late 30s, some care enough about privacy to not have Facebook, but had been on whatsapp since pre meta.
Some refuse to install new apps, because "ugh not another one"
Definitely a compromise
it was a difficult choice - I pushed for them all to join signal, but there were some holdouts.
Whatsapp was e2ee, which discord is not. Discord can run in a webbrowser or a sandboxed flatpak on my desktop. All messengers suck, what ya gonna do?
discord is my compromise platform, because the only other platform all my friends could agree on was whatsapp, and fuck meta
of course! You're right! Suggesting in a thread discussing a large corporation that wants to be seen as pro open source (hearting Linux, buying github) for the last decade does something with open source code in their OS and being bold enough to do even more in the name of native compatibility is childish!
Yes reformat my already working keys for the one time I have to plug into a Windows box, or you know Microsoft could put the effort into being compatible.
not really scalable when you want to just stick the usb stick in a family member's PC. They dont want you fucking around with WSL, or they probably run home edition which has no hyper-v for WSL
tell that to my btrfs formated USB sticks or when I try to access an ext4 partition from a windows machine
If they're incorporating open libraries, Hopefully support for real filesystems will be next
