thefluffiest, do gaming w Discord's IPO could happen in March

Great time to start looking for alternatives. Any suggestions?

jtzl,

IRC

Vodulas,

No voice in IRC though

jtzl,

IMHO computers are made for text. As this comment illustrates.😆

Vodulas,

That’s fine for some folks, but i game with friends a lot. So far discord is the easiest for that. Been researching alternatives for a bit and might go back Mumble, though

breakcore,

We have a signal group in my game group. Works really well.

Vodulas,

Nice, that works fo voice for sure.

CybranM,

Can you share your screen on irc?

jtzl,

That’s way too fancy for irc, but good idea! I will think about how to do that. Would a single still pic be useful?

CybranM,

It’s common to stream gameplay to friends during a voice call. Sharing a single image doesn’t really compare

jtzl,

I was afraid you’d say something like that.

Dang – I have no idea how to address that…🤔

Alright, well I’ll keep thinking.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

jtzl,

OK I dug into this. It appears this is most easily accomplished with Matrix, as it allows many-to-many audio chats. I asked for a quote. ;P

testman,

Matrix seems like the one with most potential to develop into a 1:1 Discord alternative.
Then you have XMPP, Mattermost, RocketChat, whatever Revolt.chat renamed itself into, etc.

Midnitte,

That is a spectacularly bad name, lol

Which one?

Midnitte,

What revolt changed its name to

Had to google it.
Dafuq is that xD

ggtdbz,

CalcKey? FireFish? Developers of Discord alternatives are just a special kind of person. Their efforts are commendable of course.

pixeltree,

Matrix is stunningly unintuitive to use, sadly.

apprehensively_human,

Matrix is a protocol with multiple options for front-end clients. If you don’t like Element, for example, you can try Cinny. They both use Matrix but are different apps.

smeg,

Depends what you use it for. I see people use it for group chats, video calls, and forums, all of which would have different replacements.

somerandomperson,

Stoat (previously Revolt)

How exactly can they make Discord more shit than it already is?

Egonallanon, do gaming w Discord's IPO could happen in March

I would like to use now to remind the youth of today of the unending glories of IRC and we must return to it.

jtzl,

I’m right there with you. I already hired a guy to make a WordPress plugin for it and also another guy to make an iPhone app. The former is done, the latter is nearly done. I’m adding a feature (as I am the product designer 😜) to do in-line images – IRC sorely needs that capability.

But yeah, both will be BSD, I think… Tho as I think this thru, I really don’t want to facilitate other end vitrification.🤔

Vodulas,

No voice, video, or game streaming in IRC though

Aah yes, the IPO… The first step towards enshittification.

30p87,
@30p87@feddit.org avatar

No, the first step begins before, as the revenue must be as high as possible before the IPO. That’s what happened with Fuckit too.

Sonotsugipaa,

… y’all mean it’s going to become even more enshittified?

mrgoosmoos,

oh baby it hasn’t even gotten started (relatively)

belated_frog_pants,

They havent even started to be annoying about nitro yet

hesh,

They’ve made many steps already

belated_frog_pants, do gaming w Discord's IPO could happen in March

Welp. If you didnt think it was starting to suck before

hdnclr, do gaming w Discord's IPO could happen in March

Good riddance. I hate that so many communities moved from forums to using Discord. It’s such a ratty little pigeon hole for communications to go and get lost in forever. It’s a shitshow for anything other than instant, live messaging. And so many communities use it as their only real forum. The day that private equity and public investors liquidate the servers and sell off Discord’s IP after their future bankruptcy will be a very happy day.

That will be a glorious day!

Discord and IPO is like the knight running at the castle clip from Monty Python.

Constantly coming soon, but not arriving.

We can only hope

Until it is suddenly there, while you are unprepared to do anything about it.

harcesz, do wolnyinternet w Tumblr dołączy do fediversu po zakończeniu migracji na WordPressa
!deleted269 avatar

Trzeba tylko dodać, że dostęp do funkcji federacji “tak jak każdy użytkownik wordpress.com” oznacza… za grube pieniądze. Wtyczka AP jest dostępna jeśli płaci się za plan biznes, który na tą chwilę kosztuje ~1000 zło rocznie.

@harcesz

Zapewne nie będą chcieli sami sobie robić konkurencji, udostępniając AP w blogu Tumblr za free a w blogu WP.com za kaskę...

Btw, dla osób mniej zorientowanych WordPress-ów jest kilka rodzajów. Nie mylmy komercyjnego wordpress.com (z darmowym planem) z WordPress-em hostowanym samodzielnie u jakiegoś dostawcy. Na tym drugim wtyczka ActivityPub jest bezpłatna.

miklo,

@m0bi @harcesz
Z tego akapitu

"Tutaj Tumblr potwierdził, że integracja z Fediverse była „jednym z głównych powodów” samej migracji i że „na pewno” obejmie wsparcie dla istniejących wtyczek ActivityPub WordPressa, które pozwalają właścicielom blogów synchronizować swoje posty i uczestniczyć w szerszej otwartej sieci społecznościowej."

wynika, że raczej AP to będzie default.
A konkurencji dla wp.com nie będzie bo nowy Tumblr to będzie WP z konkretnym zestawem funkcji pod spodem bez opcji grzebania czy instalacji dowolnych pluginów.
Te ich ~500mln kont to wprawdzie w dużej liczbie martwe są,
ale niechby i 1/10 z tego została udostępniona przez AP to i tak niesamowicie zmieni dynamikę wzrostu fediverse. I to w momencie kiedy inna platforma niby-zdecentralizowana-ale-jednak-nie (bluesky) dostała kopa w góre na kilkadziesiąt milionów kont.

Nie nadinterpretowywałbym szybkiego tłumaczenia materiału prasowego opartego na PRowych wypowiedziach… Pożyjemy zobaczymy, na wiele bym nie liczył.

pfm, do wolnyinternet w Nie da się uzyskać odpowiedzi ChatGPT ma pytania o niektóre nazwiska [en]

Dostałem info z pewnego źródła, że to dotyczy wersji bezpłatnej, bez logowania. W którejś innej można uzyskać odpowiedzi zawierające te nazwiska.

Will they now sue anyone that makes a round alarm clock? Fuck Nintendo

PunchingWood, do games w Meet Alarmo, Nintendo's $100 sleep-tracking alarm clock | TechCrunch

Such an expensive gimmick, especially considering it’s primarily aimed for kids that can’t afford it.

For that price I would’ve expected it to have more features. Like maybe be able to use Amiibo figures to unlock more content. Or a ceiling projector to play Nintendo videos/animations or ambient lighting. Or if they’d go the extra mile, be able to project the Switch display.

Stovetop,

It’s a Christmas gift item. Everything “new” this time of year is targeted towards holiday shopping

PunchingWood,

I know, but it’s still such an expensive gift. I think many parents that buy gifts are more likely to spend that amount of money on multiple other gifts instead. And even for people with more money to spend it just seems a bit excessive. I know some people that would like this clock, but I (and others I know) would not pay like €100 for a gift clock with quite limited features lol

I feel like this thing could’ve easily be priced half, and it would still be kind of expensive. But at least a much bigger group of potential buyers would open up, and Nintendo would probably still make a huge profit out of it.

Stovetop,

Well, €/$100 is about how much people are paying for some new games these days, to put it in context. If someone is a Nintendo fan or a collector it’s not necessarily a hard sell at that price given that they probably have disposable income.

haters in this thread, proceed with caution!

this clock isn’t for me, but I think its cool for people that like gadgets and gimmicks.
