I mean the issue at hand is discord enshittifying, TeamSpeak has been around for a lot longer and didn’t do that (even when they were in discords position market wise) which also mlght be because their funding model is actually sustainable.

Sure they might enshittify later down the line anway but it’s an alternative that’s here now and solves the ossue at hand

Apparently that’s already in the backend since december, they’re just getting their infrastructure up to snuff before they enable it

Do note that Root seems to be VC funded just like discord so that might just be the same thing happening later down the line.

Stoat isn’t federated so they also have the issue of running costs but they do seem to have that figured out already (currently donation funded, apparently some user friendly plans on how to deal with costs should they exceed the incoming donation)

I’ll take rough around the edges over potential ID theft tbh

This isn’t going to affect Intel usage in the near future.

True, it won’t significantly shift the downtrend Intel is experiencing but it’s one more reason why that downtrend exists. Corporations are already switching over to AMD’s EPYC for their server platforms and Intel is as entrenched as ever in the Laptop side of corporate business (which runs Windows anyway)

Companies generally buy whatever is cheap and available

Not quite true, they buy what makes them the most money for the cheapest price and due to that context Intel has been on the way out for a while now.

Dell, HP, etc rarely offer AMD as an option.

While there are a lot more systems available with an Intel chip saying they rarely offer AMD is stretching it a bit. Dell has listing for 51 Intel and 12 AMD laptop options, HP ~190 Intel and ~90 AMD, there is an imbalance there but if you are a corporate customer looking for something you will find an AMD alternative there. And in the server space Intel has been/is being gradually reduced to the second choice option with AMD EPYC being chosen for the premium products.

And this is just ancillary Linux drivers, not a major make or break component.

Might be ancillary to you and me but to a corporation this is a piece of liability they now would take on when buying new Intel CPUs for servers. Not by a lot but likely by enough to upsell them to the product using AMD instead.

Realistically lt will lead to enterprises using AMD instead, Windows just simply isn’t even an option for many enterprise uses (mainly server applications)

I feel like most people say they don’t care about boob size but really want to say they don’t care about boob size, so long as they are within the “normal” range of “not nearly nothing” and “not a planet yet”

And they all use the same script, not an ounce of creativity for supposedly very creative people

See there’s your problem: you think they are business laptops but actually they might actually be “business” laptops. What’s the difference? Well one is made to actually fulfill the needs so the company can extract the most work out of them, the other is made to sound awesome to unknowing managers and sales people, think all those laptops with “AI” plastered all over the marketing. The only thing those two variants have in common is that you pay out of your nose for them.

It’s a stylized M, hard to see if you’re not looking for it though

They already enshrined “billionaires get all the money” in 2008 when the banks got the bailouts instead of the people

Running both rn with the same magnitude of mau and piefed is using significantly fewer resources. Unless you expect 100s of mau’s I say ignore the concerns about piefed’s scalability.

As for apps, those are more or less in the pipeline, piefed didn’t have an API at all until a while ago and it’s just now getting to a point where it’s reasonable for developers to implement it. Voyager recently added Piefed support and iirc Photon also works with Piefed.

Probably a console or laptop chip

For this to be a good thing the shareholders would need to agree to a technical CEO rather than a marketing one and that comes with the wee lil’ issue of raining on their AI parade. If Tim Cook goes his replacement will be even worse.
