It serves the key purpose of Mumble, in that it provides a reliable way to get in a voice chat with people. The other features (text chat, video calls, screen sharing, “servers” that let people aggregate for a dedicated purpose/community) come together to make a legitimately good product that’s hard to replace.

Is there a peer to peer equivalent to Discord? That feels like it would be the best option, since it wouldn’t rely on a centralized company that could enshittify the product.

It is a bit baffling. I think it’s more ethical than the alternative though: pay gating useful functionality. Offering paid pallete swaps doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, someone who would never pay for that, but it does at least mean I can just ignore it. If they were to, say, restrict voice calls to a paid subscription, suddenly I’m in a position where either I’m paying for the service or ditching it entirely.

I doubt the deposits were for the full cost, right?

“several X users claim”, they say for sources. Christ Almighty.

Not sure I want to tell all my friends to get simplex with me.

Thanks for the information – good to know. I assume that like American law, he couldn’t be punished for something that wasn’t illegal when he did it?

Regarding the Uyghur comment the other guy made, definitely a bit tasteless but I don’t think it’s that ignorant given the genocide China perpetrated against them.

I think that’s the joke, Clyde!

I speak English, I studied Latin but have not kept up, and I know a tiny bit of Japanese and French.

Oh shit, that’s amazing! That could be a real learning opportunity for folks interested in starting game dev like me!

I have had a comment of mine removed from .ml for (correctly) indicating that hexbear is not a trustworthy instance.

AMD.

That sounds like nonsense. I’ll have to look it up!

And it’s so ridiculously good. The NYT even wrote an article about it.

I love it lmfao (lost my flannel at Orlando)

Most users of Windows aren’t editing the registry, no matter what problems they encounter.

For power users that do use regedit, I’d argue there’s still a gap between that and using a shell. The registry can be edited entirely with the Windows graphical utility, after all.

Jesus Christ.

I zoom in and this is the FIRST thing I see. What in the god damned shit?

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Thanks for your input. I received the message that my comment was removed from “automod@lemmy.world”, so that combined with the fact the community’s rule 2 was “no tiktok posts” led me to believe it was a .world action. Your take makes more sense.
