I've used OCLP, and I didn't even realize they largely switched to Discord. That explains why finding some info was such a PITA when I was playing around with it.

I will never understand why people choose to use Discord as a forum replacement. It's just such an awful platform for that.

Of note, it also straight up doesn't work on Tom Bombadil. He is immune to its temptation, and it doesn't make him invisible.

It's not reasonable to assume that most people are going to self-host, or even how to go about doing that if they wanted to, but people still deserve a right to privacy and products that support that. I think that's what they were trying to say

Not all trains. I've yet to see a subway with one

and your phone only has one number.... right?

Dual-SIM phones are a thing and have been for a LONG time. They're not as common in the US (where I'm assuming you're from given you aren't familiar with dual-SIM phones) but even my S22 supports it, and I think even iPhones come with it stock now. A lot of people use two SIM cards for a multitude of reasons, and so many people have two numbers. Heck, some phones even support three SIM cards.

Dig they bring out a PC client yet btw?

It's been out for a long time now. You have to set it up on your phone first but then you install the application on your computer, scan a QR code to link it, and at that point you can just disable notifications on your phone if you don't want them.

I think it's to draw a distinction from the similar "milliard", which means "billion" in British English but has fallen out of fashion.
