  • My bad, of course, not sure why the defamation trial was still in my head.

    SBF engaged in things like securities fraud as well, which is harder to spin into a civil thing I guess.

    My bet on why they decided to go the civil route is that Trump has the money to make things right (if he will that's another thing), and SBF has nothing.

    So they've just decided to go the "better for everybody" route, since, well, it's better for everybody.

  • Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. "Bare metal" is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.

    You can either accept that or not, it doesn't change the fact that that's what it now can mean.

  • It's just what it means in this specific context.

    They're not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.

    If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.

  • Yep, guess that'd do it.

    You'd still have to handle transferring keys across your devices, every time you login on a new one.

    Also, searching would probably not work, at least as well as it does right now, since all messages are indexed on the discord side, which they wouldn't be able to do without seeing them. Everything would have to happen on device, meaning the devide would have to store all messages.

  • They are exchanged between the two devices.

    Have you tried using Signal on desktop? It doesn't offer history syncing. Cross device for whatsapp for example is also a terrible experience. Unusable for something like Discord.

    For a seamless experience Discord would probably have to store the keys themselves, defeating the whole point.

  • You're actually joking with the "inviter providing the decryption keys to the invitee" part right?

    The whole point why people use discord is that it's simple, this is a feature that'd only annoy the average person, and every single extra step is a disaster for user retention (look at any eshop study).

    Stuff like this is completely irelevant to discord, the tiny subset of people who actually care will and should use Matrix / other solutions, because that's the people they were made for.

  • Yeah, but people don't like change, and I'd expect low level engineers to like it even less.

    And looking at Linux, that shit still supports ancient hardware, being able to actually get rid of old code (that now has to be maintained alongside the new code) is gonna be a PITA.
