MIT: do whatever you want, I don't care

GPL: You can modify this freely, but your product must also be FOSS if you modify this.

While this is certainly a big step in their enshittification process, the restrictions from just not doing it don't seem so bad.


Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.

Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.

Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.

Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.

Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.


I will definitely not identify myself for them with these options. If they would implement more private methods of age authentication, maybe I would consider it, since I am currently bound to discord for a few social activities.

Others have said good things. Since you also mentioned programming drivers, I recommend you to try writing a Linux kernel module at some point. This is going deeper in software, rather than embedded or bare metal. Kernel space programming is different because you literally can't use the functionalities of your OS, but you still have a lot of other things supporting you and get access to the inner workings of the OS. One idea would be for example, writing a module that lets you execute commands as root without having any privileges.

Another thing I want to mention is that Rust may help you learn low level code. Low level can also mean networking or command line software, and regardless, rust is in my opinion more ergonomic than C and C++, offers many advanced features, and will help you understand memory safety better.

That's like saying Feuetzeug is not a real German word because it's just the words Feuer and Zeug and it's kinda like saying "fire thing" in Britain

It's nice if you have two buffers side by side in vim

That sort of depends on the situation. Responsible disclosure is for if there is some relevant security hole that is an actual risk to businesses and people, while this here is just "haha look LLMs can now better pretend to write good text if you tell it to". That's not really responsible disclosurable. It's not even specific to one singular product.

And also, it's not stealing but unauthorized copying.

I like the German bird names much better than the goofy english ones. Blaumeise is just poetic.
