A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How is beeper reading my Discord DMs without breaching Discord TOS?
e: Their ToS and privacy clauses are way too opaque for something that's not open source. No from me, Ma'am.
I've already had Discord accounts snupped out from under me for not giving them my phone number, I don't wanna give them a real reason to ban me 😅
Discord's own Linux client is kinda ass and keeps breaking my build using old insecure electron versions/forcing you to update before you can use the app while not being up to date in my package manager
Gotta use a custom client anyway to keep my sanity intact
I've been using a Discord bridge with Beeper for three years with no problems.
That's not what I asked
It's open source, here's the code. It uses the discordgo library to connect to Discord and read your DMs.
e: You're free to download and deploy the source yourself, and write your own ToS. That's the nice part of open source software.
That's the source code for the Discord bridge, I'm talking about Beeper
You were asking how it interacts with Discord. That is the code.
Beyond that it's running a version of Synapse and has its own client - the latter being optional.
you can use any opensource matrix client with your beeper account
