Oi! Muppets deserve more respect!

Normally programming sessions with coworkers.

I’m all for clear labelling on food. I think it’s important. I don’t see the need to stop them using “milk” in any form. As long as it’s part of hyphenate “oat-milk” there shouldn’t be an issue.

Do you include “traits” and “interfaces” under the title “inheritance”?

How dare government members be open about their communications!

That’s too late.

Once they do it, they won’t reverse their path. They have to know they’re losing people now, before they commit. You can always start again after they change their mind.

Current Health Minister. I would say he’s our RFK Jr, but… RFK is unique.

So those are associated with Motorola Solutions now, or did the debt move to Lenovo?

No need to redact them if they’re in Spanish. Nobody would understand a word of them anyway.

It was specifically the OBS aspect I couldn’t get my head around.

Thats true but ID companies are not lobbying or making changes on a scale that matters. This change isnt going through because an id company lobbied the government.

This statement is what I’m disagreeing with. It just wrong.

These changes are going through because Palantir lobbied the government, or more specifically Peter Thiel. They have 34ish contracts with the government right now across MoD and NHS. One of the ID verification companies (Persona) is also his. This information drives the technologies he sells to the MoD for tracking individuals. Technology currently being used by ICE and in Gaza.

You’re right, it’s not about discord. It’s about making databases of all living people on earth and how they interact with each other.

There’s a number of MPs that have grave concerns about this relationship as well. https://youtu.be/cvDF7Z18Anc

Are you suggesting I should be setting up “private” streams via Twitch or YouTube when I want to do a pair programming session?

That’s not a solution.

Yes. It’s got immense influence in government policy.

My suggestion to friends is figure out what discord features you actually care about and find apps that do those things. Muble for audio, obs to screen share, xmpp or matrix to chat, etc.

Agree with the sentiment, but OBS to screen share? How does one do that?

If that’s what it takes for them to do their jobs, I’m fine with it.

I think I found Discord much more confusing than matrix, personally.

That said. Discord no longer exists for me. Account deleted today. Nothing of value was lost.

…and they hadn’t even heard about last week.

Trump isn’t? Polling numbers look horrendous.

I love how the Americans point to Andrew losing his titles as being the big story in the UK. He never mattered. We’ll happily crucify him. No big deal.

The fall-out from Mandelson is much more impactful. Our PM is currently fighting for his position just because he appointed somebody with links to Epstein. The equivalent is Trump getting kicked out for appointing Lutnick, even after he’s fired him and several advisors.

Also, because there’s a tiny amount of daylight between the scandal and the sex trafficking, it’s bringing focus on the information brokerage aspects of the Epstein and other circles.
