  • Good point, and I think there isn’t a one stop shop. But I think chat is overrated in this, it might be an addition. But having information that is not search indexed limits access and thus usability for the broader community. Also discord sucks for KB and FAQ in terms of formatting and setup (usually you see locked chat channels for that containing links to external sources. And the community discussions usually end up with multiple simultaneous discussions that get drowned out by new discussions in the same thread.

    I think discord has a role. But it is not a good solution by any means. Lemmy, reddit, even the steam forums seem better.


  • True-ish. Most discords are setup with chat channels that serve the function of a board. With all threads in a single timeline and several conversations running through one another.

    In addition the interface is a cluttered mess with many different icons, buttons and panels all competing for your attention.

    And the search then gives you a single post, leaving you to scroll in that messy interface through several mixed conversations to try and make heads or tails from it.

    In the mean time the information cannot be found through search engines meaning I have to find the correct community (sometimes there are multiple) and hope the info is there.

    It’s not an improvement IMHO.











  • True, I was merely making the point that if some of the most powerhungry countries in the world would no longer require the extracted resources this might impact the equation.

    Additionally if Powergeneration would be reduced to a small number of sites, this would change the power dynamic “a bit” as the countries that host the site would wield a lot of power over their dependents. It would also make the system vulnerable to attack.



  • I doubt this is a factor. As there will be plenty of people willing so sell vehicles if there is a proper market for it and compete with others regardless of downstream effects (make short-term gains and get out of the game, you have yours… that kind of thinking).

    If I would have to guess, price and supporting infra are the issue. Here in the EU these things sell like mad, even with the high price… but the development of a dense changing infra is going quickly.


  • Jokes on them. The whole of Europe slaughters pigs and trucks the hams to parma to be cured there for the minimum amount of time to be legally called parma and then finishes the job offsite.

    The Parma ham brand mostly just means some megacorp that owns a bunch of curing housed in parma get paid their return on the investment of lobbying for these rules.
