Okay, I'm sure if they got $1billion in funding they could implement the same feature but expecting a way smaller team with way less resources to have parity with such a company is just unrealistic.

I'm not expecting anything from anybody, but I'm also not switching to a discord alternative that doesn't support those features

Why is it a major feature omission? Screen sharing isn't an easily solvable problem, there aren't any good FOSS libraries out there (at least that I'm aware of).

Expecting a way way way smaller team that didn't get $1billion in founding, like Discord did, is an extremely poor mindset to have.

All you're proving is the need to implement a tech tax to force companies to fund FOSS at the behest of the federal government, which frankly I'm all for.

It's a major omission because the voice and video integration is one of Discord's killer features. Sorry that it's hard, but something that doesn't integrate those seamlessly isn't a discord alternative

No different to ising Slack and Zoom which is a very common combination.

It is when you're talking about competing with Discord which has very good voice and streaming support

The same public where you're constantly leaving your fingerprints, where your face is being constantly recorded and scanned into multiple facial recognition systems, where your DNA is being constantly shed? When everything needed to unlock your phone can be taken off of your corpse or just reconstructed from what you leave everywhere you go you're not really "secure".

Nobody is going to all that trouble to unlock my phone, they'll just beat me with a hammer until I unlock it for them

> I'm surprised to see so little coverage of AI legislation news here tbh.

Because no one believes these laws or bills or acts or whatever will be enforced.

But I actually believe they'll be. In the worst way possible: honest players will be punished disproportionally.

Not having perfect security, does not mean it will be disastrous. My OpenClaw has been serving me just fine and I've been getting value out of it integrating and helping me with various tasks.

How common? Can you quantify that and give us a rough estimate of how many murders and/or suicides were at least partially caused by LLM interactions?

Since openai is hiding the data it's impossible to know

I dunno. I used Market Place yesterday to get a new dry erase board (new to me). And, many people use FB to communicate with friends and family. How is that working to make the world a worse place?

Things can be good for you personally and still make the world a worse place.

It's amusing but it's not true. From Wikipedia:

> In 1992, Ellison shattered his elbow in a high-speed bicycle crash. After receiving treatment at University of California, Davis, Ellison donated $5 million to seed the Lawrence J. Ellison Musculo-Skeletal Research Center.

> In 1998, the Lawrence J. Ellison Ambulatory Care Center opened on the Sacramento campus of the UC Davis Medical Center

> In 2007, Ellison pledged $500,000 to fortify a community centre in Sderot, Israel, against rocket attacks

> In 2014, he donated $10 million to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces.

> In 2017, he donated $16.6 million donation to support the construction of well-being facilities on a new campus for co-ed conscripts

> In May 2016, Ellison donated $200 million to the University of Southern California to establish a cancer research center: the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC

> Between 2021 and 2023, Ellison invested $130 million in the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change and has pledged a further $218 million since then

These numbers are rounding errors to Ellison. I give a higher percentage of my net worth every year than he has in total

I never understood the craze for "Advent of code". Already at this time of the year the last thing I want to do is code even more.
