14:16 nerzhul did you see the IRC freenode drama ?
14:17 nerzhul pgimeno is aware as far i saw in some logs :D
14:17 clavi joined #minetest-dev
14:17 nerzhul most of the communities are moving to libera. Do we plan something ? or we just stay here ? or we just use discord ? :D
14:25 nerzhul see https://gist.github.com/shadowcat-mst/998cea12794768bdb3da2daeff31baad
14:28 sfan5 sure hope it won't be discord
14:28 sfan5 but it's unclear at this point

14:31 hlqkj joined #minetest-dev
14:33 MTDiscord <josiah_wi> What is the reasoning of the those in the IRC community who hope it isn't discord? I haven't heard their position on it before; if it isn't appropriate to discuss here then please say so.
14:34 rubenwardy Matrix would also be an option, although Element is electron
14:34 sfan5 there are other, more general arguments that can be made against discord
14:34 sfan5 but the primary reason (for me) is that I'm more comfortable with my IRC client
14:35 nerzhul i'm not in favor of matrix
14:35 nerzhul we already have irc & discord
14:35 rubenwardy we already have matrix as well
14:35 nerzhul discord is unofficial but can become
14:35 rubenwardy discord is official
14:35 nerzhul ah discord is now official ?
14:35 nerzhul and matrix ?
14:36 rubenwardy well, it's officially promoted but not officially administrated
14:36 rubenwardy https://www.minetest.net/get-involved/
14:36 nerzhul having 3 platform is pretty huge
14:36 nerzhul do we have many people here or in other irc channels ? compared to discord & matrix ? never saw matrix messages here :D
14:37 rubenwardy there are ~1500 on Discord and ~300 on Matrix
14:37 nerzhul or we can do another thing and keep dev on irc and let community on discord no ?
14:37 rubenwardy which IRC though
14:37 nerzhul honestly i don't care, i jsut want a working tech
14:37 nerzhul D
14:37 nerzhul but not 3 to 4 platforms
14:38 nerzhul for me discord is fine, and we can share richer content, better also to share client screenshots :D
14:39 nerzhul i'm already bridging IRC on my mattermost using matterbridge :p

14:51 calcul0n joined #minetest-dev
14:59 Sokomine please keep it to some form of irc. discord is a horribly bloated program, not open source, not trustworthy
15:00 nerzhul haha

15:18 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> Moving from Freenode to Libera seems the most straightforward to me
15:18 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> Since it's run by (most?) of the resigned Freenode staff
15:22 celeron55 i think it's quite wild how easily people involved in free software development are giving up their freedoms and going to discord
15:23 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Can we avoid the Discord vs IRC fight? They are both good technology with lots of issues.
15:24 celeron55 well, it was already started
15:24 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Thats no reason to continue :]
15:24 celeron55 but anyway, the MT IRC channels will follow the freenode staff, eventually
15:25 celeron55 i fully expect freenode to basically crumble and die if the ownership and staff changes so there won't be much choice than go to where the staff went
15:25 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Switching to Libera is as simple as a few config changes, right?
15:25 celeron55 but it's still ongoing, no sense making any moves yet
15:26 celeron55 yeah it's the same thing at a different domain and servers
15:27 celeron55 with a different name
15:33 Sokomine joined #minetest-dev
15:41 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> It is a new network though, so new registrations and channel namespaces will have to be done
15:46 Sokomine joined #minetest-dev
15:48 Fixer_ joined #minetest-dev
16:26 nerzhul celeron55, i suggest that you create channels there with ownership
16:26 nerzhul in case of :)
16:26 nerzhul Benrob0329: yeah i had registered my new nick, this one is pretty old on freenode :D

18:57 clavi <josiah_wi> What is the reasoning of the those in the IRC community who hope it isn't discord?
18:57 clavi https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord
18:57 clavi good writeup
18:57 clavi left #minetest-dev
18:59 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> Not everything in life needs to be open source...my MT server is NOT open source does this means it is by any means a BAD server now? I doubt it
19:00 specing joined #minetest-dev
19:00 specing left #minetest-dev
19:01 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Also, just because I use something doesnt mean I completely trust the owner/maker.
19:03 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> Well I guess you have to 'trust' the service enough to at least believe that it will not do anything malicious with your data
19:03 celeron55 by using free software, you remove the need to trust the owner, especially in the long term
19:04 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Correct, which is why free software can be great
19:04 celeron55 imagine freenode using proprietary software
19:06 celeron55 data of course is a separate concern, altough there's some strong legislation for it in europe
19:07 Noisytoot joined #minetest-dev
19:12 * Sokomine compares the attitude of ihrfussel regarding freedom of that of discord...and decides that ihrfussels server is ok to be on, but discord not
19:21 rubenwardy servers don't run code on the client, so his server isn't open nor closed source

19:30 MTDiscord <josiah_wi> Thank you for sharing that writeup clavi.
19:30 Noisytoot joined #minetest-dev
19:36 Seirdy ooh are we sharing writeups?
19:36 Seirdy this one applies 100% to discord: https://seirdy.one/2021/01/27/whatsapp-and-the-domestication-of-users.html
19:36 Seirdy there's a follow-up post at the bottom that voices concerns with matrix as well
19:39 Noisytoot joined #minetest-dev
19:42 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> I didn't even touch the c++ engine code on my server but what I meant is that my mods at least are closed source so nobody really knows what's going on behind the scenes and users have to trust me that I didn't find some security hole or whatever

20:19 pgimeno the web version of discord is open source, as all JS is, it's just not free. Open source means pretty much nothing.
20:20 cheapie_ joined #minetest-dev
20:23 sofar joined #minetest-dev
20:24 pgimeno and I find this ironic: <celeron55> i think it's quite wild how easily people involved in free software development are giving up their freedoms and going to discord
20:24 pgimeno s/going to discord/staying on github/ and you have my position
20:29 celeron55 well i'm moving, i'm just slow
20:34 Pexin joined #minetest-dev
20:39 sfan5 damn just tried the dynamic shadows PR and it's firstly super impressive
20:39 sfan5 and on very high it reduces my client to like 15fps and introduce quite a bit of input lag
20:39 sfan5 hopefully that doesn't apply to lower modes
20:39 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Depends entirely on the hardware
20:40 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> Source Available != Open Source (yes I know I'm sending this through the bridge, I'm on a phone)
20:40 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> My system struggles on medium settings
20:40 sfan5 Ryzen 5 2600 | GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
20:41 * Sokomine hopefully wields an old celeron g1610 with igp
20:41 Sokomine view range has improved considerably on my old hardware in the last few years
20:42 * cheapie digs around a bit, pulls out a box with VIA "Chrome9 HD" integrated graphics
20:42 cheapie OpenGL 1.4 here we come!
