And, like I said, that’s a niche.

I’d love to use GrapheneOS myself, but unfortunately too many apps I need won’t work on it.

That’d make them even more of a niche option than right now, since some apps (most notably banking) will just refuse to work.

And some were not even translated at all.

Really smart move from the manga industry.
What are they even trying to achieve here?

It’s not like there isn’t a bunch of other websites hosting the same stuff…

Oh, great. The best part is that for some of these publishers there’s literally no legal way to read their manga online.

Unless you think Japan and USA are the only 2 countries in the world, I guess…

It’s easy to think that Discord isn’t reading your messages or listening to your calls, because the utilize End to End Encryption.

It’s easy to think they’re reading your messages, because they don’t use E2E (only calls use it).
They admit that right in the link you sent.

They also keep scanning your computer for running processes with no way to disable it (for game detection).

tl;dr is if you care about privacy, do not use Discord, or at least not for anything more serious than sending memes.

It’s not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you’re likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The “own your games” ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.
