I watched Irrational Man […]. I was tired of watching bad movies,

I'm just curious: How did this train of thoughts make sense in your mind?

But pretty much all of these organizations have their own Discord servers, don't they?

So why would it matter so much what the parent company does? If some changes are seen as unacceptable one could simply just not apply them to one'a own server. (It's not like the Discord company could force anyone to run some particular software on their server. How would that even work.)

I don't understand why people care what Discord does. If they do enough unwelcome changes the people who run their own servers will simply detach from the parent company.

Now there you have one more pet peeve of mine, language preference settings that pretend that all language versions are equal, that shitty translations aren't abundant. If the original text is in a language that I can read then I want the original, not some shitty translation. It shouldn't be that hard!

Geolocation is an accurate way to predict the user’s language.

Now that's a pet peeve of mine, a bizarre belief surprisingly often held by people, who must be oblivious to the existence of tourism.

10 movies in 3 days!? That's impressive!

Proton does not provide e2e encrypted email outside its own environment (so any mail within proton will be encrypted but not outside - and it's far harder to do the later due to point one)

This is not quite accurate, Proton quite nicely exchanges PGP encrypted mail with people who have PGP but not Proton.

Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

From my experience travelling the world, that's not particularly uncommon. The US doesn't have to feel singled out for having such people on their bank notes.
