It’s called blasting processing! As a reference to we all know the sega mega drive/ genesis. It’s a retro gaming space built around the standard definition era of console gaming!

5 daysWhat’s the advantages of Osmium? In general I don’t think it’s a good idea to move from one closed-source system (Discord) to another (Osmium) since they’ll eventually enshittify it too.
Since you’re already using one Fediverse platform (Lemmy), have you considered using Matrix?

5 daysOsmium Isn’t completely closed source, they have plans to open source the client and they have the libraries and apis all open source. The only thing they are currently keep closed source is the server software it runs on. I have tried matrix it isn’t exactly user friendly and I find it hard to manage large communities on matrix

5 daysThe advantage of osmium is that they are completely privacy first, I like to think of them as the proton or tuta of discord like apps

Hmm, that is a decent argument. I mean, I do trust proton and signal, because they are privacy focused. But I also have an exitplan for those platforms, in case they do turn evil. Open source is great, but these platforms prove that it is not the only acceptable solution.

Signal is open source, including all their client apps as well as their server. Proton’s client apps are open source too (but not their server).

5 daysThey’re based in the EU though, so we’ll see how long that stays true.
Chat Control didn’t pass, but we’ll see what happens with Chat Control 2.0 given most member states are in favor of it.
Also, they don’t currently support E2E encryption, so I’m not sure how focused on security they actually are.

5 daysE2E is in the works. folf (the main dev) told me the reason E2E isnt out yet is becasue they want to make sure its not half baked
