@Gargron@mastodon.social @waystation@sunny.garden Rather stupidly, a lot of software support and wiki's are now contained only on Discord, which has been a stupid move to be clear. Even purely social communities for almost anything host on Discord now.
The internet is a lonelier place for all the social interactivity it has hoovered up.
Time will tell if Discord have pointed both barrels at their feet and pulled the trigger... But nobody seems happy with the decision.

@503bartley @cstross in the UK for me, the book was on the second page last night. It’s is now 20th on the first page, and about halfway down! Keep up the amazing work everyone!

feckless cowards who are too dumb and cowardly to see the gaping market gap that needs filling: a humanist browser that doesn't ride the bullshit stochastic parrot hype train
The sheer amount of forks that aim to remove a lot of the 'additions' (aka bullshit stochastic parrot hype train features) that Mozilla have added to Firefox would be a wakeup call for them, I would have thought...

First for me too! And that is searching the whole store for Melania Trump.
Awesome stuff! I’m planning to get it and give the book a go. I’m sure it’s going to be trash - but also funny too.

Comment I saw on a post about the new Discord age verification nonsense:
"Teen-by-default seems to be a popular choice these times among the rich"
Fucking LOL.
Reason Discord is in the news rn: https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/09/discord-to-roll-out-age-verification-next-month-for-full-access-to-its-platform/
Particular point of note:
"It’s worth noting that Discord disclosed last October that around 70,000 users may have had sensitive data, such as their government ID photos, exposed after hackers breached a third-party vendor that the platform uses for age-related appeals."

GitHub and Copilot is a match made in heaven for developers, according to Micro$oft’s Satya Nadella:
“During Microsoft's July 30, 2025 earnings call, CEO Satya Nadella said GitHub Copilot continued to exhibit strong momentum and had reached 20 million users.”

“How do we remove this chicken-shit feature?”
