Whole article? It's 10 sentences.

Haven't tried it myself but Tiny Glade just came out and looks like something that might fit that vibe.

I would agree with you if we're talking about something like the ability to search a car, where the cop is not allowed to without the owner's permission (assuming no probable cause or warrant). In that case the cop usually figures out a loophole to manufacture probable cause or manipulate the owner into agreeing to a search. And then there's nothing a lawyer or judge can do later, because it's the cop's word vs yours.

But if we're talking about a law that actually says the cop cannot take your phone no matter what, and they do, then any public defender would be able to point it out and the judge would certainly have to enforce it. I can't think of a way the cop would abuse their power because, in this case they don't have it.

I could be convinced based on the actual wording of the law, though.

It's much more worrying how often face unlock works with a simple photo.

Bought a Pinecil a few weeks ago. No problems.

Goodwill asside, their games just aren't even fun. They're all the same game loop:

• walk around listening to an unskippable dialogue
• climb to the top of something to clear out part of the map and place a bunch of markers on it
• go to the various markers to collect pointless garbage
• fight some trash mobs with a very generous parry-based combat system
• complete the next main questline
• get a weapon upgrade you'll immediately forget about
• repeat

Ooo I just found out element added support for drop-in/drop-out voice and video rooms. That's the real killer feature they've been lacking I think. Will have to try it out.

Yeah, I saw that element is using jitsi under the hood for its screensharing. If that makes for a seamless user experience, that's great. It's been like 10 years since I last tried Jitsi, but it was not smooth.

TBH both disc and slack have their downsides, disc more so, so I'm fine if they just take the best of all worlds.

But yeah, screensharing is the deciding factor for me. As much as all my friends hate discord, we use screensharing all the time (it's just a bit jankier getting it working on Linux).

This one is clearly made to look like slack, which is great I need to try this out. Just wish someone would make one that looks like disc. And then matrix needs screensharing support.

Does it work now? I tried it around a year ago and couldn't get voice to work at all. It even had a message saying they were in the process of rewriting their voice streaming backend, and the legacy path may just be broken.

Discord compatible bots run on whatever server you run them on, they're not owned or run by Discord.

It says the client is compatible with both space-bar and discord.com, so yeah, if you use it with discord, expect all the downsides of discord.
