Hope this doesn't end up political... Last time the entire Framework Discord's mod team went on strike because of a controversial sponsorship, and ended with the closure of the discord.
- lousken 10mo agohopefully those people already left last time
- akimbostrawman 10mo ago>ended with the closure of the discord oh no anyways. Discord user and there mods are probably the last people anybody in the FOSS or real world should care about or associate with.
- Cyao 10mo agoSometimes Discord is still pretty helpful with real-time support. It indeed has its flaws, but some of the best real time help is still given there. I love the C++ discord, it's just filled with gems.
- akimbostrawman 10mo ago>it's just filled with gems gems not sorted or indexed at all gated behind a account requiring personal information to just view them.
- DANmode 10mo agoLuckily that’s a solved, or trivially-solved problem now.
- akimbostrawman 10mo agohow?
- DANmode 10mo agoSelect All -> Paste into local or cloud LLM -> Ask question
- akimbostrawman 10mo agoeven if the LLM was directly trained on discord it still would not be the same and never will
- DANmode 10mo agoThe same as what? A permalink is a permalink, whether I found it in 5 minutes to an hour, or the robot found it in 5 seconds.
- hamdingers 10mo agoDiscord is handy for real-time support as a user, but because those support questions don't become a body of searchable public knowledge over time, they are all doomed. The maintainers will burn out from the endless basic questions.

- Saline9515 10mo agoBut are his opinions relevant here? Do you ask the political opinions of everyone you work with?

- akimbostrawman 10mo ago>Do you ask the political opinions of everyone you work with they are the HR of IT ofc they do a ideological sniff test on anybody they even so much as talk to. Can't have anybody disagreeing in this tolerant space.
- array_key_first 10mo agoEveryone does an ideological sniff test of everyone they interact with. You don't want to be friends with wackjobs or racists or whatever, because the odds those people suck in other ways is very, very high. I also hate the framing of "disagreeing" in these discussions. It's perfectly valid to distance yourself from people because you disagree, and this is something you yourself practice on a daily basis. That is just being human.
- Saline9515 10mo agoI worked with plenty of far-left people, some of whom justified openly during lunch a genocide against whites in South Africa. While I would have preferred not to hear this, I believe that they have the right to work in the same place as me.
- saghm 10mo agoI hadn't heard about this before, so in case anyone else is also curious and wants to save some googling, it sounds like was a few months ago when they sponsored Hyprland[1]. I hadn't heard about controversy with Hyprland before, only being vaguely aware of it, but the forum thread I linked to further links to this blog post[2] with more details.

- preisschild 10mo agoI have more of an Issue with the Omarchy sponsorship. While i disagree with Hyprland's maintainer at least Hyprland is actually engineering something great and making it free software. Omarchy is basically just a script.
- zbuttram 10mo agoNot a fan of either but I feel obligated to point out they don't appear to be sponsoring Omarchy, they just posted about it on their social media account(s). Hyprland they actually did do a small sponsorship for.
- whalesalad 10mo agoNothing of value was lost. Discord is the worst way to engage with any kind of serious community. It's a firehose of prematurely fired off messages, badges, emojis, banners, nitro upgrades, flags. Threading sucks. Ten conversations are usually happening at once. It's like if you had a 100gig connection to the WAL of 4chan plugged directly into your brain. It's no wonder kids these days are all autistic or ADHD.
- 4O4 10mo agoWhile I agree with some of the things said, the last sentence where you started to imply that neurodivergence can be caused by external factors is completely false. These are physical differences in brain's wiring.
- ekianjo 10mo ago> These are physical differences in brain's wiring. Physical differences that no test can detect?
- nextaccountic 10mo agoNot sure about autism, but ADHD is one of the most studied disorders and you can pick it up with a brain scan, like MRI and other methods (currently imaging methods aren't typically used for diagnosis but it's plausible that some day it will be)

- odiroot 10mo agoI totally see why Framework doesn't want this toxicity and flamewars.
