Poor chap, imagine training your whole life just to be shot down by a friendly.

Nice shot though.

it’s satire

Yep, guess that’d do it.

You’d still have to handle transferring keys across your devices, every time you login on a new one.

Also, searching would probably not work, at least as well as it does right now, since all messages are indexed on the discord side, which they wouldn’t be able to do without seeing them. Everything would have to happen on device, meaning the devide would have to store all messages.

They are exchanged between the two devices.

Have you tried using Signal on desktop? It doesn’t offer history syncing. Cross device for whatsapp for example is also a terrible experience. Unusable for something like Discord.

For a seamless experience Discord would probably have to store the keys themselves, defeating the whole point.

You’re actually joking with the “inviter providing the decryption keys to the invitee” part right?

The whole point why people use discord is that it’s simple, this is a feature that’d only annoy the average person, and every single extra step is a disaster for user retention (look at any eshop study).

Stuff like this is completely irelevant to discord, the tiny subset of people who actually care will and should use Matrix / other solutions, because that’s the people they were made for.

Do you want to explain how to do it better?

That’s how joining a server and being able to see history works

It’s unfortunately not as simple as that, the government has to be really careful upsetting essential companies like defense contractors, as the military just straight up needs them (for new projects but also spare parts, fixes,…).

It’s not a good relationship.

Edit: I definitely don’t disagree with you though, stuff like this just shouldn’t happen.

Of course it’s a choice, it’s a settlement. They could’ve refused and gone to court, where they probably would’ve ended up paying a lot more in fines (and legal fees)

Yeah let’s go scorched earth on one of the most important military contractors.

“cannot possibly” is your opinion, it’s just not a fact. Look at how hard they’re trying to ban it, it clearly matters a lot to some ppl for some reason

Not sure how that’s a gotcha, sure, a court, has the same weight either way

But that’s an opinion, isn’t it? We all don’t have the same opinions, that’s why politics is a thing?

Maybe transcare hurts someone’s feelings, you might not agree with that, but we live in a world where their opinion matters, too, for better (or in this case) for worse.

If a court decides to interpret a law some way or another, it’s because the law’s wording allowed for some leeway.

That’s on the lawmakers.

Let’s take it from the other side.

Should I have the liberty to not pay taxes? The liberty to dump my garbage into a lake? The liberty to burn a forest down?

You’re flexing words into meanings that suit you, but if they actually were possible to be interpreted this widely, it’d be chaos.

Right to healthcare or the right of privacy in healthcare?

The law on the ban for youth care was challenged in court, the courts decided the law is not against the constitution, and so it can take effect.

Where they constructed a right for healthcare out of the word liberty.

You’re making massive leaps
