  • Stop Using Discord for Your Open source Communities | mattcen's mumblings
    blog.mattcen.com Stop Using Discord for Your Open source Communities | mattcen's mumblings

    Words from a queer, neurodivergent, feminist, Linux sysadmin/dev/advocate and geek.

    > Recently I accidentally made a Fediverse post which went viral:

    >> stop using discord for your open source communities

    > That post is short, punchy, opinionated, and prescriptive, which I suspect is the cause for its virality.

    > Unfortunately, like many micro-blog posts, it lacks nuance, which many replies highlighted. I made the post to vent my frustration at needing to join a Discord server to interact with a community, so it is far from a measured critique of the subject.

    > This blog post is an attempt to address those nuances in greater detail. This is not an exhaustive analysis, and I’ve resolved to not let “perfect” be the enemy of “done”.

    Overkill drops Linux support for PAYDAY 2

    > It does, however, still work quite well with the Windows version via Steam Play Proton on desktop Linux and is Steam Deck Verified against the Windows version in Proton. So while it's a loss of support for their Native build, it's still fully playable on Linux.

    > What now?

    > Things will continue normally until they can't anymore.

    > Assume it's just the start.

    > Assume they'll ask GitHub to takedown the repos (if so go to our Gitea https://gitea.invidious.io/iv-org ).

    > Assume the team wont be able to work on Invidious.

    > You know what you have to do.

    > May Invidious live and prosper, with, or without us.

    > PS: We won't do anything unless we have to.

    > PS-2: If we are forced to quit, any funds remaining will go to Framasoft (and maybe some other organization working on FOSS/privacy)

    What are your favorite browser extensions?
  • uBO, of course. note: you guys don't need ClearURLs with this list added.
    LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he's a little homophobic shithead
    Buster for automatic captcha solving
    Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren't necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner
    Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google
