It’s based on XMPP, which means it’s open-source, federated, and has E2EE in private chats. It also supports video calls, including in groups (which most other Discord alternatives have problems with).

Also, there’s no phone number or even email requirement to sign up. You can set a recovery email, but you can skip that step during setup. Just pick a server, username, and password

The main thing it’s missing right now is “places” aka what Discord calls servers/guilds. But they’re currently working to roll that feature out soon

You only gave a 2 hour window before replying with with this petty, snarky bullshit. Have you ever considered that other people might actually have lives and not spend all of their time on social media?

And to answer your question, I just need to vaguely gesture towards 90% of your comment in this thread. You’re constantly being defensive and immature, especially right here.

Seriously, are you 12? That’s about how you act. Maybe you should wait to grow out of your nappies before spending too much time online.

Mmm… Sharf fin soup…

I haven’t thought out every detail yet.

Then why are you getting so defensive when people give you valid criticism throughout this thread?

I hope you just thought of this off the cuff, since there’s a lot of problems with your idea, which people in the comments are poibtint out to you. At some point, a mature person would accept the idea was bad and move on, and not get too invested.

What about USB?

Movim seems like a much better option, they just need a few weeks to get a couple of extra features out

It’s called class and style

Technically it’s more like Old Norse

It was often used for “f” as well, specifically in print to save money.

Towards the end of the article, they explain the same thing was done with using “y” to replace the letters that make the “th” sound (ð and þ) so instead of “the” or “ðe” you got “ye”

You mean Sân?

Also, another thing to consider is whether there’s other people around and what their gender is. Consider the scenario of me (a man) walking down the street at night and there’s one person around that I need to pass by to get where I’m going.

If I’m constantly moving my head to look around at everything, I’m going to look really shady and make other people worried. I’m just trying to get somewhere, so I’d rather not bother people, which means it’s better to just look ahead and kinda ignore them, and trust that my peripheral vision will pick up any actual threats.

That all being said, this experiment wasn’t set up to consider that at all. Especially since the study is from Brigham Young University (ew), and at a spot on campus referred to as “Rape Hill”. So thinking this much about the study is probably a waste of ti.e

It’s a joke

The reboot was a perfect example of why you should just let some series have their satisfying ending and leave it at that

For the past 15 years, the hardware costs have been subsidized by both online subscriptions and storefront cuts for digital purchases.

That being said, consoles haven’t been sold at a loss for multiple generations now. They’ve mainly been cheaper due to economies of scale

“we pointed a fuckload of MBAs that only care about monetizing

If I ever end up in a position where I’m reviewing potential employees, having an MBA is going to be an automatic rejection, regardless of their other qualifications.

Imo, getting an MBA makes you worse at being a productive employee. And the people that get them don’t have personalities that are conducive to being good at their jobs

Everything I said was relevant to your comment.

Not my fault your reading comprehension is on par with your knowledge of programming

The creation engine is still somehow just as janky every time

As someone who’s played all of their mainline games since Skyrim, this is an outright lie.

They updated the Creation Engine from 32-bit to 64-bit for Fallout 4, and since they used Skyrim as a test bed for development, all they had to do was a bit more work to make Skyrim Special Edition.

SSE is significantly more stable than LE, especially if you’re modding. And Starfield actually held to their claims of being their leadt buggy release to date.

It’s pretty clear that all you know about what’s going on with Creation Engine is just parroting the memes.

And just let Starfield die…

Starfield has a lot of good bones to work with. BGS mainly needed to spend another year on the game filling out systems and adding more content.

That being said, delaying ES6 to work on Starfield was a horrible decision. They had enough people hired after Skyrim to split into multiple teams

You clearly don’t understand software development.

If you’re a programmer, you rarely rewrite a program from scratch if you can avoid it, especially if you’re just making a version update. Do you seriously Epic threw out all their code from UE3 to code UE4 from scratch?

And honestly, Bestesda has done lots of work going through and fixing/updating existing code. Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition are 64-bit programs. Skyrim Legendary Edition and Fallout 3/New Vegas are 32-bit programs.

Updating the Creation Engine to do that requires a ton of changing existing code, but you thankfully don’t need to rewrite everything.

And their work actually makes its way to the players. Skyrim Special Edition is significantly more stable than Legendary Edition, and allows over 10x more plugin files for modders. And Starfield actually held up to the claims that it would be Bethesda’s least buggy release to date

There are already plenty of mods that handle this. It’s not a limitation of the engine. It’s just budget and time constraints
