Windows Server actually lets you uninstall Defender (
Remove-WindowsFeature Windows-Defender). If only they let you do that with the client versions

Tutanota is a free encrypted email service like ProtonMail. But when you try and sign up it does a captcha but the captcha answer box is disable. Refresh the page to try and get the captcha working again and it blacklists your entire IP range. Even if you want to sign up with money it still won't let you.

If you're like that, put up your own server for e-mails. You can pay an e-mail provider to keep you private or you can pay a domain name provider to provide an adress to your own server.

Whoever the fuck did 'Mind Studio.'
It was an amazing piece of software, embedding binaural beats into any piece of music. It'd take me forever to go into the woowoo pseudoscience of it all, but I loved being able to embed some 'chillout' effect to a song, and you could program your own frequencies, and I bought a lifetime license for it.
Until the author realized he could make more money selling the milk rather than the cow, stopped selling the program and shut down all key activation servers for it, probably figuring the handful of hippies that bought it weren't gonna class action his ass.
Fucker.

I remember doing this with a shareware Windows 3.1 sound editor. There were different waves patterns intended to induce various states, and even instructions for embedding subliminal messages. Pretty sure it had zero effect, but the authors put in a lot of effort for a shareware.

I've been trying KMail as an alternative (e-mail for KDE fags) and it's probably the best alternative I've found so far. It does have some weird bugs, the account setup wizard picks stupid defaults (like using port 25 for SMTP) and for some reason on my 2nd IMAP account it didn't subscribe to the Inbox folder so that was just mysteriously empty. Since it's made by autistic people, it has autistic defaults like disabling HTML on every e-mail by default unless you whitelist or just globally enable it.
Aside from that, the search wizard is good, it seems more responsive and has really good Sieve integration. Everything is good except the memory usage which is now 1.2 GB on my machine with 2 IMAP accounts!
I don't think I'll ever be satisfied.

If you're thinking BWGen, yeah same pseudoscience (with a bit of EMDR theory thrown in, I think), it just pulsed the actual music in the same way. I'm not going to claim it cured my autism, but the "knock you to sleep" one sure worked for me's all I'm sayin'.

Discord itself is a piece of shit.

Discord not dying a painful death due to the furry cubophile moderator situation and Discord's weak punishment on that guy and the people that supported him was unfortunate. A lot of people knew about it but it really seems like nobody gave a shit because Discord was slightly more convenient to set up than teamspeak or other such programs. Despite the fact nothing you type on there is private, despite the fact it's built from a glorified browser.

A moderator, or admin I don't know what terminology they use, set up a new ban at the time to only ban anime 'loli' and not furry 'cub' content in discord universally. People started to notice this, I don't know if it was ever explicitly written in their rule book or whatever, and found out that a specific admin was responsible for setting the bans up this way and not just banning all cartoon cp as would make sense to anyone not completely mind broken. After a while of people contacting discord and digging into their moderation more, they demoted him only as far as I remember, if that, maybe just changing a title he had. They did nothing about any other mods that probably assisted his escapades. Then the situation just fizzled out.

One of Discord's staff was a furry named TinyFeex who said "cub" content was not a violation of Terms of Service. This was a huge scandal and eventually Discord banned cub porn outright, but not before tons of shit was unearthed about how the "Trust & Safety" team were full of literal furries who banned people for no reason.

Yep. It was in early 2019 this was happening. Not thread on the guy I can see, but this situation was mentioned in a few threads. Good post transcribing an article about it.

I don't think there's a thread on TinyFeex but there is a thread on a different furry T&S mod who also is fine with cub porn, allthefoxes.

This is why I set up my own Matrix. Basically has all the same features as Discord but it's at least private. Heard the devs for Matrix though are faggots but I don't care as long as my server can't get shut down by them.

The issue for me would actually be convincing anyone to move over. People I know even shovel money to discord for server boosts that give you trivial shit like emojis and custom banners, stuff that used to be free on the old web.

We used Steamchat before and convincing two people in our group to move over has been a pain. One of them even told me to "lmao make me an account and I'll do it". Told the nigger no I don't want his password and shit, he is a grown boy and it takes less then 2 minutes. Custom emojis is nice but I never really utilized them to care.
