+#+TITLE: Discord Sucks
+#+DATE: <2022-09-17 Sat>
+#+DRAFT: true
+
+I've been a long-time Discord user, but over the years, I have come to realize that Discord sucks.
+
+* No end-to-end encryption
+
+This is a huge security flaw that allows anyone who gets access to Discord's servers to read your private messages. Discord does not have any end-to-end encryption and neither will they consider implementing it in the future. This actually becomes more important over the past few years as Discord shifts its focus from gamers to general users. What used to be an app to keep gaming communities connected has now become a platform for any type of online chat.
+
+* Not decentralized
+
+When you create a server, you're not actually starting up a private instance of Discord where you and your friends can privately communicate.
+
+* You sound like a schizo.
+
+Ok
+
+* What should I use instead?

-One of the most common abstractions in higher level languages you will see is memory allocation.
+C gives you the tools to manually allocate data on the heap. Using these tools can give you a better understanding on how stack and heap memory works.
 
-The way you learn arrays in higher level languages is that they store an ordered list of objects that you can index by an integer. Indices typically start at 0 because it just is.
+Higher level languages like Java and C# have garbage collectors that automatically free memory. This makes your life significantly easier. No more dangling pointers, and handling memory is much safer. But it can make it more difficult to understand what is going on under the hood.
+
+A good example of something abstracted away from higher level languages is the concept of an array. In a higher level language, an array is an object that has a size property and bounds checking. High school computer science classes will teach you it's only a data type to store a list of other data.

-Index notation in C is short for a pointer to an address with an offset. The reason why indices start at 0 is because it's 0 addresses away from the first element.

 C, however, distinguishes values and references with pointers and reference operations. It lets you understand how values and references are compared. The nature of pointers and references are become a lot more obvious, whereas in C#, it just appears to be more theoretical.
 
+C shows you that when you compare two reference types in a higher level language, all you're really doing is comparing if they point to the same object, just like how you compare two pointers to an object on the heap.

 * Conclusion
 
 Although you will not write everything in C, it is good to have a fundamental knowledge in C as it gives you an idea of how your computer and how your favorite language works.
 
-It would be easier to teach a student C as it gives them the practical concepts of programming rather than theoretical concepts and paradigms. Just like in math, it is far easier to understand it if you are able to understand proofs rather than simply memorizing equations.
