I don't think jobs this hazardous are generally done by plumbers. Sending in a robot instead of a human makes sense.

Especially when the robot is better at finding faults before people's homes collapse into a sinkhole.

Everyone should have a short wave of some sort and a good portable antenna.

Do you mean a two-way radio, or just a receiver? Why?

Mine has saved my sanity a couple of times out in Nowhere, West Texas.

How?

Thank you for summarizing the key points.

Let's not forget an even bigger problem with Discord: It locks your communities, including contacts and years of content and discussions created by members, behind some corporation's ~~terms and conditions~~ whims. You (or your friends, or the "server" admin) can lose access to it all at any time, without warning. They can and have used this as leverage to extort personal info from people. A policy change, accident, or technical glitch can leave you out in the cold.

This alone is reason enough to avoid it.

Mumble for voice chat. (It already beats Discord in that department.) A server can be self-hosted, or rented for dirt cheap.

Matrix is getting better all the time, and although it won't replace all of Discord's features today, it is catching up. I already use it for text chat, and wouldn't be surprised if it could take over for video, screen share, etc. in the next year or so.

Tip for people wanting to try Matrix now: Consider disabling encryption on your Discord replacement rooms until Matrix 2.0 is fully released, to avoid occasional frustrating glitches. That won't be a loss coming from Discord, which doesn't have end-to-end encryption anyway.

Looks similar to Firefox with Multi-Account Containers, but with a different browser engine (one that is not from Google). Maybe cool?

Anyone know if the save game files are compatible with the original?

The funniest part is their claim that people were being salty and should chill, at a time when there were almost no comments, and none were salty. Bot?

For reference, even Deban Stable has been at glibc 2.31 or newer for three major versions now, and another major version is on its way this year. I don't think this will affect many people.
