  • I LOVED blockbuster. Absolute thrill to go through all of those movies, find some weird thing, give it a chance. It was so fun ti have the surprise and anticipation and basically roll the dice that movie night would be fun becsse the movie was good or fun because it was bad and we has to think on our feet and make something else happen.

  • On the other hand, there are 100% human-made voiceovers of this character and they are also awful. Just awful. But because its a human I have some respect for their creative efforts.

  • Think about WHY only the absurdly wealthy companies would be able to purchase all of that data though. Because that data has immense value. Many authors and artists would certainly refuse to sell. I care that few companies hoard so much wealth and power, but I care more about the current issue that companies with wealth and power dont even have to spend a dime because they are just stealing.

    Dont solve the problem of power consolidation on the dime of peoples life's work.

  • But even under the current rules and system we are meant it have protections. These companies could see consequences. Even in capitalism, which serves capital, even in America, which does so even more fiercely - they have stolen.

  • I believe communication should not be a commodity. It should be FOSS. I believe discord is free because it feels like something that provides little to no value, and yet the company has shareholders and must provide value to them. Ridiculous.

  • The main thing investors do with technology is find something free and make a product out of it. This time they flipped the script by stealing, and I want these companies and investors to face consequences. I don't want all of humanity's creative works that have ever been posted online to be repurposed and repackaged by a new technology and then sold.

  • So the basics of what I've read is:

    • Discord stores all messages and media. If you delete it, or delete your account, its still there.
    • Discord does not SELL that data. Instead, they hand it over to the ad companies that are the shareholders of Discord.
    • Discord has lots of security flaws that are abused by third parties all the damn time.

    I know its different now because Discord has nitro and there are lots if good reasons to subscribe. But Discord ran without all if that subscriber funding and in that time they probably found ways to make money off of what resources they had at the time... Information.
