Why did you strike that out?h2testw-chashnniel (August 23, 2020, 01:47 AM)
Okay. I don't want to be the one bad apple who spoils it for the rest of the bunch.-Deozaan (August 22, 2020, 01:58 AM)
But still I made some rules, the software must be:
- Less-known of course!!(that means it is seldom mentioned in the blog site like Ghacks&lifehacker)
- It should be old age(non-essential) but still works on the windows 7,8,or10
- You'd better give the download location
- Screenshot always welcome
- A short description is needed
Did nobody ever teach you that if you have nothing nice to say then you shouldn't say anything?-Stephen66515 (August 17, 2020, 11:15 AM)
Then again, silence implies agreement ...

This was a horrible idea for many reasons, but spyware is “modern” these days because “everyone” uses it.-Tuxman (August 17, 2020, 10:34 AM)
Now, I am going to explain everything Discord collects in this article:
- IP Address - Discord uses your IP address to make sure you do not create alts to circumvent bans. Discord checks against a list of IP address you have connected from when signing in as a security measure. Discord literally needs your IP address to send you any form of data, it's literally like a return address in real life.
- Device UUID - From what I understand, all this does is identify your Discord client installation. This information is literally exclusive to Discord and has no use outside of Discord whatsoever.
- User's e-mail address - No crap, it's literally how you sign in and register your account. How the Hell are they supposed to know you by email if they don't store it?
- All text messages - Again, no crap. If Discord didn't store text messages, then it would be impossible to receive any message sent while you were offline. Anyone who is genuinely upset by this has no clue how the internet works and should get off the net asap.
- All images - Same thing. How are they supposed to deliver images to users without storing them? Think about this for a second, seriously!
- All VOIP data (voice chat) - Discord does not store voice chat data, but it still has to be processed by their servers in order to be delivered to the people on the other end. You people clearly don't understand how data works.
- Open rates for e-mail sent by Discord - Seriously, what's wrong with Discord adding 1 to an arbitrary variable every time somebody clicks a link? What could some "spooky Russian hacker" possibly do with any of this information whatsoever?
- Logs of all of the other programs that are open on your computer - While the website says Discord does not inform users about this, it in fact does, many, many times. Discord does not log this data, it is simply sent to Discord's servers for one-time use in order to see if you are running any games currently. It's how they show the little "Playing ..." indicator beneath your name.
Nothing against new technology but this new advanced improvement kicks me out after about 1 minute of doing nothing.
Used via webchat-nonregistered-mode.
Any comments?
ps: what sucks it that you dont even see if you are connected or not.-KodeZwerg (August 17, 2020, 07:36 AM)
I suspect it's more ornamental than functional :-)I've heard people complain that wearing masks makes it hard to breathe, but how the smurf are you supposed to breathe in that thing?-Deozaan (August 16, 2020, 11:37 AM)
Just from looking at it, I think the face hugger is just ornamental, and there's a mask underneath that it's attached to from where the elastic attaches. I could be wrong. If I'm not, I don't get it either.-wraith808 (August 16, 2020, 11:58 AM)-tomos (August 16, 2020, 01:06 PM)

Obsidian can't export to markdown because it doesn't contain the notes in the first place. The files have an independent existence and can be edited using any program at any time.-Dormouse (August 13, 2020, 07:44 PM)
I don't understand the point of that distinction. They don't need to be exported because they're *already* markdown, aren't they?
- Oshyan-JavaJones (August 14, 2020, 06:10 PM)
The boom in interest in both Roam and Obsidian, and various third-party stuff, is both good and bad. Good in that great things will probably come out of it. But bad in that things are still so much up in the air that we don't know how much these tools will change 6 months from now. So I still find it hard commit to either ATM, since which one (or other) I will prefer in the not so distant future probably depends on features not yet there or not yet refined. I'm kind of stuck in test drive mode-Nod5 (August 13, 2020, 02:18 PM)
