I hope eventually we get an ARM-powered Framework.
Bought a Framework shortly after Linus Techmin joined forces with them. Was stolen out of my partner’s car a few months later and just haven’t been able to justify (or afford) a replacement.
It is not an abuse of anyone’s creative rights to the convert music from a game you legally own to a different format.
I think Obsidian and Logseq are helping to change this.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been running alternative Discord clients for years (Webcord, discord-screenaudio, and now Vesktop/Vencord) and haven’t encountered any issues or bans. By far, the most polished and well integrated is Vesktop/Vencord. I don’t consider my Discord account worth risking either, but given that I’ve yet to see a verifiable report of someone losing access to Discord for using an alternate client (even the ones that enable Nitro subscription features), I think I’m pretty safe.
Personally, I’d say risk it for the biscuit. There are some hacky workarounds but all of them are annoying to set up and finicky. As for alternative platforms, I’m not sure…
Gas fees, fees to convert to fiat, electricity bills for miners / initial investment for stakers… No matter how you frame it, there are still associated fees. Might as well use the standard we have at the moment.
I’ve seen a lot of descriptions of Tailscale but still have no idea what exactly it does. I get that it uses Wireguard, but what differentiates it from a typical VPN setup? NAT traversal?
