Taylor LorenzThis "new normal" of constant reinfection with a disease that carries a high risk of disability is neither sustainable, nor does it resemble what we were told to expect in 2021. Read every word of this piece https://www.thegauntlet.news/p/how-the-press-manufactured-consent
@glyph idk how i feel about the feature itself, but fwiw, my first thought was "well you can already record your own audio but that's a turbo nerd thing and you'd have to uhh rejigger pulseaudio and" and then i saw someone posting "yeah i can already record voice chat with obs" and i went "oh"
@glyph we only just had discourse over discord shuffling the mobile ui around and breaking everyone's muscle memory, and how that's rude and intrusive because it requires people to drop everything and catch up on something they thought they knew yesterday
so how do you launch a new thing without being like that
@glyph my understanding is that discord tells you about clips when you join a call? i don't know what else they could do. my spouse told me just yesterday that they never read the changelog popup
i don't know. it's easy for nerds to say "simply make every feature opt-in" but that's mostly a good way to make 99.7% of your users never use a feature or know it exists
@whitequark @gabboman in this case you do. there is a thing to turn the thing off
Everyone needs to check out Splort instead. It's better because it doesn't do anything and no one uses it
Friends, I have dire news. Not only has Discord added a feature, including a warning about when the feature might be used by others, but they have ALSO added a setting to turn the feature off, buried deep in the settings menu under a tab with the name of the feature on it. This is a sign of Discord's slide into irrelevance and we should all stop using it. Software should never change and it's an affront to me personally when it does
