Last post by Bella - Yesterday at 01:18:25 PMQuote from: VonDaab on Yesterday at 12:17:29 PMSoo, uh. Discord is now feeding their data into Palantir?
I knew they were dirty, but I didn't think they'd be actually malicious.
I don't doubt this is happening (in fact I assumed the end goal of Discord collecting user ID info was forking it over to Palantir) but I had to do a bit of digging to find details.

This is really fucked.

Last post by VonDaab - February 12, 2026, 01:25:04 AMI'm already working on setting up a private IRC server on a raspberry pi.
We've pretty much gotten to a point where you cant trust any corporation in any amount. All of them will turn coat and betray users. Decentralised and locally run is the only way.

Glad you're doing well Kraus! And good luck with the discord -> forum exodus. I keep mulling the private friend forum idea around in my head as well. And, well, trying to encourage activity over here, too.

Last post by Dr. Kraus - February 11, 2026, 06:22:18 PMForums are back on the menu!
Shame Discord is going the way they are but they want to make more money and the easiest method to that is selling our data. Plus the attempt the indoctrinate the kids into thinking its okay to give company's biometric data or ID's just to use a platform.
I've been able to convince a good amount of my friends to move over to Teamspeak for voice and spinning up a private forum for them to post memes and other stuff
.
Hope everyone has been well, as usual its been busy but life has been good
Still messing around with my homelab stuff, shame prices for computer components have jumped up to where they're at!Thanks AI!

Last post by VonDaab - February 10, 2026, 07:50:04 AMI think I have a Win3.1 user manual somewhere.
Edit: Found it. Quite an unit of a tome. some 400 pages of MS-DOS 6.22 and Win3.11.
Oddly enough the MS-DOS part is in English. Rest in Finnish.
