   @thomasfuchs Not what one would usually think of but: genealogy.

   Automatically transcribing scanned documents and making them searchable changed the field entirely.

   It led to a bunch of countries tightening and refining their citizenship-by-descent laws and adding cutoffs like "only born before 2000," as so many more people now can discover the nationality of their ancestors.

   @lightweight I'm stuck with Discord simply because of who's on it. I want to use Matrix instead, but convincing retro streamers (some are friends) to move is impossible. I already cut them off when I left Twitter, and leaving Discord means cutting them off almost entirely.

   It's the same reason people don't leave YouTube or Twitter. I don't like it, but I do understand why people don't just leave. They're leaving *people* behind when they do it. It's not like switching browsers.

   @yoz You are correct! I just built and (stealth) deployed an entire thing in just over an hour - nothing that I wasn't capable of, but the effort involved in the scaffolding and boilerplate probably would have put me off bothering entirely.

   It probably would have been faster if it hadn't been for having to track down really annoying bugs...
