My mental response to that kind of people is,
“You chose to be the problem. Have you tried not being one?”
I do admit that it sounds catchy in my head, too. But I don't think it would be a good or practical approach to convince others, starting off a retort with an ad-hominem right away 😅

I respect the proactive move to just assume appeal level communication from the OP.
A former colleague once complained to me that they could never find a parking spot for their humongous SUV in Berlin and that the city should be more accommodating in that regard. They weren't even a permanent resident or a commuter but a foreign diplomat.
To my discredit I wasn't assertive enough back then to calmly explain public transportation to them, I was just dumbfounded.
OK, here’s a somewhat famous case of email that could only be sent within something over 500 miles, but no further: https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles
Thank you for sharing this!
In continental Europe you must have governemnt ID and in some countries you have to have it at all times with you and show it to authorities if requested.
I can't speak for the other continental nations but that is not correct for Germany. You just have to have an ID. You don't have to have it with you at all times.
I don't see why not. Again, the resource footprint is so tiny that you can just throw in Mumble anywhere. You can make it tinier still if you limit sending pictures via that chat and allocate a maximum bandwidth via the config.
If pi zero, you’re serving 12 users low latency over wifi? Does it route the actual audio?
Yes, it's sufficient. I wouldn't advise it due to the extra overhead of wireless packet loss, but it's absolutely technically possible. Don't overestimate how little bandwidth voice chat really needs. It's like 10-50kB/s per person and you're unlikely to ever have more than 2 or 3 people talking at a time.
Foreign intelligence must be having the best day ever. Soldiers, with access to lots of interesting stuff, desperate for cash.
I’m not sure the US administration thought this one through properly. But at least they have that “warrior mindset” and no beards now. So that’s good I suppose.
That's a very interesting point.
So, I’ve been having issues with voice chat on Discord and I’m looking for alternatives. In my search, I came across Mumble, here. Does anyone here have experience, or information regarding Mumble, or a better alternative to Discord with better latency? Is it relatively easy to set up? Is it safe? Any advice and help is greatly appreciated.
Been running a server for my friends for over a decade now. Can recommend. It's just one apt-get to set up, runs on a Pi Zero for a dozen people, has clients available for pretty much any platform and doesn't really require any maintenance. Latency will depend on the routing between you and your friends' ISPs, of course, but the whole purpose of the software itself was to provide a low-latency voicechat server for gaming.
But: That's it. You don't get anything else. It's a barebones voice chat server. You can set up rooms and have basic text-functionality, but you don't get any fancy user management, no full-fledged chatrooms, no persistence beyond the room setup and only limited backend options. Keep that in mind.
I have no way to gainfully apply this in my life but I am glad you made it!

My SO calls it the "Hitler also ate sugar!" argument.
Much better, and it automatically picks a fight with the advertising industry (that has a very clear answer to that question), so double-plus good.
