I'm not saying it's a perfect service, I'd rather all private messages be E2E encrypted, but there's no evidence Discord themselves have ever sold any data, so I don't understand why we are making crazy claims when them collecting data is a privacy issue enough on it's own.
Calls recently got encryption, so while Discord is as popular as it is, we can only hope they keep expanding encryption into other areas.
Source? The only record of data being sold I remember is some 3rd-party that scraped public servers.
Something about a mass grave.
This issue isnt exclusive to the internet. But I agree, these complainers do not represent humanity, because they show none.
Yeah, that bit is fine, but then surely Treebeard would have to go back and discuss this with the other Ents, but instead he screams and within 5s there's an army coming out of the forest, surely they would have noticed the burning right next to them?
Yeah, I am aware unfortunately, because it just makes it worse. I see what he was trying to do though, with the play on despair and then the "hype" of the Ents joining in. It just feels sloppy every time I watch it though.
The Ent stuff is the only thing I really hate everytime I watch the films. They talk for seemingly forever about if they are to go to war or not, then Treebeard walks towards Isengard, sees the burnt forest and immediately amasses an army from the forest. It was written poorly, it would have just been better if Merry convinced them, or if that entire Ent conversation was cut and they just walked to Isengard and had that reaction.
But, yeah, good luck Canada, don't succumb.
Yeah, any game I deem worthy to play, is worthy of my money anyway, so I would rather buy them on Steam/GOG.
I have some free games on Epic, but havent even had the launcher installed for like 7 years.
The PC market is growing faster than the console market, the value of consoles has completely plateaued.
You can build a PC for just slightly more, an added cost you recoup anyway after a couple years. You can do a lot more with a PC than a console, you have upgrade flexibility, your library of games will always be playable, you can even emulate and play console games.
There's no reason to buy a console if you put a bit of effort in, their only appeal is the initial plug and play, which you can do with a PC anyway if you buy prebuilt.
There's probably loads of builds online with new components, I haven't built a low end PC for a while, so I am not sure on the market. As I said though you have to consider the lifespan and the savings, even just 3 years later you have saved $360. And you can definitely build a PC that is better than a PS5 Pro for $1060, peripherals included even.
With discs falling out of fashion, games are absolutely cheaper on PC for patient gamers. As you say though, the savings do depend on what games you are interested in personally. Big publishers are much more stingy on giving discounts in sales.
The Arc cards are stronger than the PS5 and are like $200-250 new, you could get used RX 7600/6600XT for cheaper than that. There's definitely paths to a PS5 equivalent PC for a similar price, and even if you spend $100, $200, $300 more, that pays off in 1, 2 or 3 years anyway.
Can you provide a source then if it isn't true? I am genuinely curious.
And yes, they did publish the code for their e2ee protocol.
The whole internet is the same, unless you are running all your own built software that you can vet, you are just putting faith in what a company/individual is telling you. If you want to use the internet, there's always the inherent risk your data is being collected and sold without you knowing.
