glad that this will be patched out in most phones because android is like windows/linux and can be patched indepenently by the os develop- oh wait nope its all down to manufacturers that only give 3 years of support leaving many phones vulnerable.... sighhhhhhh

do plugins that run on wine count?

that's just extra friction, with UIs you can explore and figure out at a glance roughly what a button will do

ive only upgraded from my 2014 shit phone in 2021, and i plan to do the same with this one for as long as i can

technically that is only true if the malware in question does something in the kernel or relies on an unimplemented wine api call, since a lot of malware is an infostealer or ransomware, its quite likely that it'll work just fine under wine

i was surprised that this was even attempted, but i guess someone would eventually try to

i happen to still mostly use windows media player on windows 10 LTSC, in my opinion it looks better and runs much better than whatever regular windows has nowadays

of course VLC exists too and is mostly superior, but it doesnt have the cool visualisations for music :(

it's a shame most people just don't care, this has been slowly consuming and devouring every single service online and recently offline for the past decade

it's a for profit, proprietary application that doesn't value your privacy in the slightest, it's becoming a monopoly over communities and taking over places like forums and instant messaging and is not immune to enshittification

i'd give it one or two years before discord undergoes some serious enshittification, with the way most other social media websites have gone down, presumably due to them not being really profitable anymore, im sure discord will start pushing people into nitro more and more as time goes on, i mean as most other platforms discord is already taking advantage of our data, but so did twitter and look where twitter is going now lol

well this just happened with vlemmy.net, i was affected by this and had to manually resubscribe to 50 communities and recreate one, because of this someone made a tool to download your data off of lemmy and upload it to another instance https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
