I'm fascinated by Discord discourse because I think a lot of folks just aren't getting it
Back in the day:
Forums provided slow, searchable, referencable, detailed and categorised async comms, largely publicly, nurtured by admins and mods
IRC provided fast, synchronous, minimal and mostly ephemeral comms, largely privately and nurtured by admins and mods.
TS/Vent provided instant, completely ephemeral and private comms, usually gated by IRC access.Think about what Discord provides.

@mdiluz video chat that actually works, streaming, direct trivial file sharing, easy to set up private spaces by non-technical people, a client that works on modern devices, and other things. people don't want to be "back in the day" when your auth was sending your password in the clear to a bot, or have to know what a fucking netsplit is.

@mdiluz All of it but centralized and much less anonymous or private

@hardpenguin13 agree on centralised. Disagree on private for the most part - forums were open (that's a key reason people seem to like them), IRC was often open too, and discord voice calls are largely just as private from a layman perspective.

@mdiluz well I guess anonymity contributed to privacy if you were into that kind of thing (and haven't reused your online nicknames, were relatively careful what you were saying etc.)

@hardpenguin13 ah yeah discord is moving towards less anonymity for sure!

@aeva yup exactly, basically all of the above and even more.

Molto prima di globo un mio amico ci campava durante università.
Una sola pizzeria, nel we.
Sfruttato pure lui, ma sempre meno che oggi.E ho da ridire anche sulle "borse" lercie che vedo usare.
Non mi ispira vederci uscire cibo da lì.

@ro mah...ogni volta che leggo della disoccupazione più bassa da X anni, mi chiedo cosa facciano tutti questi lavoratori, tra gigafactory che non si fanno, negozi che chiudono uno dopo l'altro...deve essere noioso passare otto ore in un capannone pieno di macchine ferme o in un negozio con le serrande abbassate.

@paoloredaelli Non vivo più a Milano da anni, adesso sono in provincia di Bergamo, e iniziano a diffondersi anche qui... (dove le pizzerie locali tuttavia venerdì e sabato hanno frotte di studenti - non so quanto pagati - per portar le pizze con la loro auto/scooter).
Non ho mai potuto capire come le persone non ragionino sul fatto che è puro sfruttamento di persone che hanno un gran bisogno di guadagnare dei soldini per campare e sono così brave da farlo onestamente....e vengono spremute come limoni purtroppo.

@paoloredaelli condividi, mai usate queste app in vita mia. Non ne sento il bisogno

Inchiesta Glovo a Milano: pagati 2,50€ a consegna. Tronfio di aver sempre evitato come la peste questi servizi di consegna a domicilio (Glovo, Just Eat, Foodora, Deliveroo) : non voglio essere complice di questa forma moderna e strisciante di schiavitù.

Io , più sommessamente, ho trovato interessante e degna di esser ricordata questa frasetta:
"The world is accelerating, against its will. I can feel it; I grew up in the 1980s, when time really did move more slowly, in the sense that news and events were spaced way out, and society had time to reflect on them. Now it changes so fast we can’t even keep up, let alone reflect."
Per due motivi:
- il primo è lapalissiano, il mondo sta accelerando (il problema è che non si capisce bene perchè, verso dove ecc. non avendo tempo di riflettere....e questo di solito porta male)- il secondo lo trovo più interessante: si inizia a scrivere, non solo fra letterati e filosofi, che il mondo accelera CONTRO la sua volontà...speriamo sia un primo passettino.

“He said: ‘As I lifted the gun to show her I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell.’
Harrison said he could not recall whether his finger was on the trigger.”
It’s another of those rare times it was the gun’s fault and not the person holding it in a dangerous manner.
Let’s see the NRA talk their way around this.
