  • That's how Reddit works/worked. Probably lemmy too though I haven't looked too close. Deleting your account doesn't necessarily mean the content your account created is taken with it. Things not being deleted with your account is a werid thing to cite for spy ware, lots of stuff works like that and you can delete it, just isn't automatically deleted with your account.

    Discord having security flaws does not make it spy ware. There have been some pretty severe security issues but almost every one I've heard of has its roots in a gullible user running some sort of application on their machine or scanning a QR code with the Discord app which makes it extremely clear you are logging into another device... The only one I'm aware of that I found very concerning was iirc a werid video player vulnerability that could yank your token.

    I highly doubt Discord is giving advertisers access to the messages on their platform. That sounds insanely illegal and also largly a waste of time cause if they are doing that it doesn't work very well.

  • Well I'm not like against Spotify and whatever else. I do use YouTube for what you are talking about but like my daily music, the stuff I want to like actually listen to when I feel like listening to music. Hell yeah that stuff is downloaded. I'm not tryna listen to Crazy Frog all the time, only when I'm feeling crazy.

    As for storage space, I really just don't think that's a problem nowadays. Course since it's hard as fuck to get a micro SD card in a phone these days you can be stuck with whatever amount the manufacturer gave you but even then 2gb worth of space is 32hours worth of music. That's a entire day and a half of listening to stuff before anything repeats. I honestly just can't imagine the kind of person to cycle through music frequently enough where that's a problem.

  • I mean my thing is like how much music do you need to have "on you" at all times? I've got 130 mp3s on my phone and that's just under half a gig. So you can have an easy 250 songs (16 hours worth) for just a gigabyte of local storage. It's pretty easy to download junk and if you really like an artist guess what, you already have all your music locally so when you get a tasty wav not a single thing has to change about how you listen to music.

  • Tesla advertised Full Self Driving, it's literally what FSD stands for but in reality it was a somewhat better driver assistance. Why was? Well they are now relying almost exclusively on on normal fucking cameras which is why their depth perception is so spotty, they don't have depth perception anymore the hardware for it has been removed.

  • Sheesh they didn't completely shut down the possibility. They just said they think it's unlikely, and I agree with them. Whenever I've seen people suddenly jump out like this to make extreme claims it's been somewhat sketchy at best.

  • Who cares? Isn't the point of it being federated that you can join whatever instance and have the same experience (ignoring of course whatever that particular instance is doing for modrration)

  • Yeah same experience I've had. As a rule of thumb they lack the understanding to even talk about what they are so hyped about. It's sad really. When I'm ready interested in something I want go learn about it. Instead they are interested solely in how it could make them money. They don't care whatsoever about it's actual utility if there even is any.
