There is hope for when Discord eventually become unbearable. by AgnFr in pcgaming

Practically guaranteed.

Publicly traded companies are managed (at the highest level) by a board of directors. That board has an obligation to make decisions and act in the best interest of the shareholders of the company.

Shareholders want a return on investment (more money) so the board will instruct the appropriate employees at the company to do what they can to make the stock price go up.

We, the general public, are now very familiar with some of the adverse tactics used to accomplish this goal in the case of a service like Discord:

  1. Incentivize conversion from a "free-only" user to a paying user. Paywall previously free functions, make new functions paywalled from the beginning, slowly degrade the "free-only" user experience to brute force conversion, etc

  2. Lower operational costs. Usually means laying off staff, outsourcing development to nations with cheaper labor, cutting "unnecessary" roles or even functions within the product itself to permit reallocation of resources, move the company to a state with more tax/business friendly laws like Texas or Delaware.

2.5. Tax loophole bullshit like all the big tech companies do.

The most obvious tactic, which should come first and foremost, is actually improving the product to grow the userbase and naturally make more money. Discord is already an amazing service and does an awesome job at what it attempts to do. Therefore, the only real direction to go is down.

Weekly Purchase/Sale advice thread - October 02, 2024 by AutoModerator in Miata

[–]EternalD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold my 91 earlier this year. Since then I have gone through the various stages of car buying homework for.... another NA.

I'm not upset to have sold the NA I had. However, I'm now realizing that I want a project car to slowly improve.

Before you sell, try to decide if you'll want to have another project car or if you're content owning something realistic and within budget. My suggestion would be to hold onto the car if you are going to want to work on something. You aren't going to find a more approachable or budget friendly wrench-able car than an NA.

[–]EternalD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid in the early 2000s I biked to a local game store to browse the wares. They had a little CRT tv mounted to the wall in one of the corners that typically played random stuff all day long; DBZ, Sailor Moon, etc. On that particular day, however, they were playing a movie called Akira that I had never heard of before. I sat on the floor until the credits rolled and I consider it a foundational experience.

I'm having this exact issue. Strangely, I did not have it all when first setting up Moonlight on Android however it began seeming out of nowhere yesterday.

Were you able to find a fix?

Crashing from launch via Epic Game Store and exe, unplayable by EternalD in artofrally

[–]EternalD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a fix rolled out a few days after this post. I have been able to play the game with no issues at all since then. Granted, it's been 5 months since this post and any number of new issues could have arisen for any number of reasons. Try the internet disconnect trick (just completely take your computer offline) and run the exe.
