I mean, for now it’s not about shapes.

But there are people out there with successful movements that the Earth is flat, and that 2X2=3 and shit like that, it’s barely a matter of time before some satire-turned-subculture rises for their 15 minutes of fame for denying shapes exist.

Nobody here knows what they’re doing.

go step on a partially melted ice cube in your socks.

Hyper-dimensional school desk, it follows non-Euclidian geometry. If you try to cross your legs you kick yourself in the back of the head. A day earlier.

Every day, every night.

Except when I need to focus on a meeting, that’s the point that my brain decides “I’mma start dreaming RIGHT NOW.”

Why not. If we’re stuck with sketchy, lawless apps for chatting we might as well go back to the OG sketchy, lawless chat app.

I’m sure they’re very sowwy and have learned their lesson and your face and ID and personal, private browsing habits will be perfectly secure, and even the AI bot that will “monitor your habits to decide your implicit age” will be very quiet with all your sensitive personal details and not give it to anyone even if they ask very nicely for it.

“Regular” content and spaces are untouched.

They are also rolling out something like an AI that monitors your chatting and browsing habits that can determine your “implicit age” as well, this isn’t exactly shocking, but it’s gross how it’s being promoted as a handy feature.

The entire thing is a state surveillance project and yes, they are working on desensitizing the population to having no privacy or personal lives.

Sure hope our government doesn’t collapse to a fascist oligarchy or authoritarian surveillance state, sure could bite us all in the ass when the armed deathsquads get ahold of both our identifications, faces and our ideology and the names and faces of all our friends and family members.

Or would be a shame if all the people who use discord to communicate with other marginalized people suddenly had all their personal information revealed to friends, family and schools, including what chat channels and servers they visit, what games they play, who their friends are and so on.

Oh well, I’m sure the company and the government will be completely fair and transparent about all of our online identities.

One of many massive security leaks!

Dark Tom needs to rise to kick the internet’s ass and create a new, old internet that has no algorithms or bots.

I guess we would need some way to confirm the users aren’t AI or bad actors so we would need to use kind of face reco- oh, I see. We’re trapped in hell.

I am never going to convince my younger family members to change platform, they literally keep discord on 24/7 with their friends and SO’s and keep lobbies open around the clock to wander in and play games and stream and thrive in the social space.

It’s horrifically un-secure and I hate so much about the whole thing from a safety standpoint.

I will likely kill my main account and delete all my personal data and messages, for whatever good that will do, and just make a dummy account to received messages and say hi to family. Same as I did with facebook and other social media.

There are lots and lots of companies that use discord the same way they use facebook, just a place to promote and gather “feedback” and such. They likely mean they ran the official company server, not that they use discord to chat between teams.

Although I’ve done that before too.

it was useful when it was new and there were no alternatives as easy to use.

Now it feels like commercialized app slop that wishes it was actual social media.

They will have some kind of nebulously described “thing” that will monitor your browsing and chatting habits on discord and use that to decide your “implicit age” and I wish any of that was a joke or rumor.

They won’t just ask for your face and ID, they are also admitting that AI or something is going to be literally watching you at all times to “determine your age.”

Tell me again how we’re protecting kids? Where them Epstein prosecutions at? We save any kids yet? How about now?

I am also leaving discord, I hated it and the people who use it a lot, but used it to connect to family members. I will find other ways.

This is the same exact cycle I went through with social media, which I also left entirely. I stopped browsing a lot of sites I used to, I took most of my personal info off the internet, and ended a lot of subscriptions.

The internet lately is feeling more and more like making end-of-life plans.

I kind of like that in the end of the Seinfeld series the writers just kind of up and admitted that the main characters are all terrible people. A lot of people didn’t get it, and I was confused at first because I was younger, but the more I look back at it, the better that ending gets.

In reality, they likely inspired each other.

When Event Horizon came out, Games Workshop was still a somewhat niche hobby that few people had heard of, they were still developing lore.

I imagine the writers saw some ideas about the “dangers of the warp” and decided to incorporate those ideas, then games workshop saw the movie and was like “Hell yeah, that’s what we’re talking about, lets lean into this warp shit even harder.”

Yes, then the third movie in the trilogy “Triangle” (2009)

I can’t imagine people on Lemmy of all places having enthusiasm for socializing and conversations.

You like the novelty of it, but you would sit there alone and imagine having friends and then you would imagine you know how to actually listen to other people instead of just waiting for an opportunity to talk about linux or indie steam games.

Pay to buy, pay to play, pay to get upgrades, pay to get the best ending, pay to not play. (You will have to use premium currency to set the game down for more than a day or lose all progress.)
