Nah, I’d rather just not even consume the media. Especially considering video is mostly entertainment media anyways; anything actually useful hidden behind one of those stupid faces, I’ll just find an alternative source.

Any of those punchable “react face” thumbnails. Dont care what the video is about, if it’s got one of those stupid faces on it, straight to the fuckin’ gulag!

These browser wars are funny. It’s not like you have a real choice anyways. You get either some sort of Chrome, with it’s various problems. Or you get some sort of Firefox… which has it’s own host of issues. The rest of the competition is so far behind that it’d take a miracle for them to enter the mainstream.

Shilling for any particular browser is pathetic.

I’d hazard a guess and say it all stems from advancements in tech. There was a need to get the most out of something because of limited resources. Now that everyone’s got some fairly serious hardware (yes, even the cheap shit), there’s rarely that urge to optimize.

Rather than optimize each new technology as it comes along and gets adopted, it seems as though the mantra is “fuck it, add it to the pile”. And it snowballs. As developers feel the need to optimize less, the lessons get passed down to the next generation, and so on.

So we’re left with apps/end-user stuff that appear to have been on the opposite of a diet.

Regardless of what country “controls” it, Discord is bad for many other reasons as well.

Unless they’re implying that Chinese software will fail and bow down to “western software”, I’m not seeing a link either.

The porting has probably already been done, as sideloading apps, while difficult, was still possible. It’d make sense to have something waiting in the wings, so to speak. So it’s doubtful iOS development has just started.
