My guess: The kids who used Discord for gaming grew up, and just went with the familiar thing when starting new communities and projects.
Also, Discord did heavy marketing early on, until it carved out a network effect. So here we are.

On the bright side:
Aggressive garbage collection and automatic thread locking are optional settings in most web forum software I’ve seen.
Lemmy shares some of the important parts of Usenet, and could develop into something that comes close.
A web forum is far better in most cases. If you can’t manage to run your own, there are plenty of lemmy servers that will do it for you. Even an email list (with searchable archives) would be better than Discord.
If you have collaborative documents that outgrow the forum format, use a wiki.
If real-time chat is needed, irc or matrix.
A project hosting its community on Discord is a project that won’t get my contributions.
I wonder how this trend will affect fuel use. Seems like a win for the environment.
Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
Section 3: Disqualification from office for insurrection or rebellion
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Are there any 5.5 physical sourcebooks? Were they ever planned at all?
I haven’t been following One D&D news, but I got the impression they were focusing on a subscription-only model, so I’ve been planning to stick with my 5e books or switch to an ORC-licensed system.
This is true in C, but not in D.
After decades of license strangleholds by the likes of MPEG LA and Microsoft, it’s refreshing to see open codecs adopted in mainstream hardware and APIs. Hooray for progress!
I just learned about that as well. I hope Larian dilutes or buys back Tencent’s shares.
This outcome is welcome progress, but I get the sense that it’s only a drop in the bucket.
Bullying and intimidating people in other countries who openly contradict the CCP’s narrative seems widespread these days. From the news reports of unofficial Chinese “police stations” in North America, to youtube footage of US students speaking in support of an independent Hong Kong while Chinese students aggressively maneuver within inches of their faces while shouting threats, to the story in this post.
I hope this is a sign that we are finally taking action to stop it.
Or by people formerly paying for their internet service with money that should have been going toward food or heat.
Losing the $30 monthly discount could force families to choose between broadband and other necessities,
Exactly.
It’s also important to note that some ISPs created a low-cost service plan specifically for ACP. (It’s reasonable to assume this was possible in part because ACP handled income verification and eliminated the costs of individual billing and credit card payments.) That plan will likely disappear if ACP goes away, leaving poor people stuck paying a bill much higher than the program ever paid.
Linux has quite a few schedulers. The performance of this new one is almost certainly a result of different algorithms used, not an effect of refactoring the existing ones, nor the language it’s written in.
I don’t think I’ll dig in to the code just now, but if it turns out to have much practical value, perhaps we’ll eventually see an article about the design.
Seems like a weird headline. AFAIK, the language it’s written in has nothing to do with the performance.
dedent() can help with that.

This release represents a year of development effort and over 7,000 individual changes. It contains a large number of improvements that are listed below. The main highlights are the new WoW64 architecture and the experimental Wayland driver.
The source is available at https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/9.0/wine-9.0.tar.xz
Binary packages for various distributions will be available from https://www.winehq.org/download

The Wayland driver is not yet enabled by default. It can be enabled through
the HKCU\Software\Wine\Drivers

wine reg.exe add HKCU\\Software\\Wine\\Drivers /v Graphics /d x11,wayland

Your current approach of talking raw SMTP is likely to be more hassle than is worthwhile, and since the days of permissive SMTP servers are long gone, might not work at all.
Since you appear to be using an Debian-based Linux distro, I suggest this approach:
apt install dma
/usr/sbin/sendmail
command (which comes with dma or exim) to send messages from your scripting language of choice.If you prefer to receive messages as SMS, note that most major mobile carriers maintain an email-to-sms gateway for this purpose. Some web searches will probably lead you to the one for your carrier. They usually accept email at an address like 123456789@sms-gateway.example.com
mileage may vary if you’re looking at cutting edge games, as driver updates can significantly boost performance in that case.
If you’re playing games in Steam, Flatpak, or any other tool that provides its own runtime, the graphics driver updates that tend to affect performance (e.g. Mesa) don’t come from your base distro.
(Unless maybe you have an Nvidia GPU and a distro that packages its proprietary drivers? I’m not sure in that case, since I quit Nvidia years ago.)
Any reason why I shouldn’t just go with Debian + KDE and install Steam?
No reason to avoid Debian unless you have hardware so very new that it requires the very latest kernel to operate.
If you go with Debian Stable, you can enable Backports for a fairly recent kernel, currently 6.5.10. You could go with Testing or even Unstable if you’re addicted to upgrading as often as possible, but chances are you won’t need to.
I’m gaming on Debian Stable with Steam in a flatpak. It works great, and is blissfully low maintenance.
At some point, you’ll probably run into people claiming that Debian is bad for gaming performance because of “outdated” packages. In most cases, those people don’t know what they’re talking about. I suggest ignoring them unless they identify a specific performance issue that actually affects you.
That’s most likely due to low rankings. Lemmy doesn’t prevent it.
