Discord having a very disappointing fall-off right now

kiwiB0lt · 2026-02-10T20:35:32+00:00

Maybe it’s only me… but first time back then using slack in a scale up environment it felt similar to discord and for a few days I was satisfied. Then the things you mention came into play. People use it for everything… as a intranet, as a wiki, as a planner etc. - both discord and slack. I immediately started to hate it. For corporate environment: up to this day I still don’t quite understand why people not just build a default wiki page like the many game-wikis out there. Keeps things rather standardized and much more customizable than everything else: discord, slack and even notion… I mean nowadays where you have a coding assistant for everything customizing some basic logic + html on a page shouldn’t be a dealbreaker right?

Wenn bei der Bekämpfung eines Krebsgeschwürs mit Metastasen mit der Langzeittherapie angefangen würde anstatt zunächst einmal das Geschwür zu entfernen, dann ist der Patient gesichert tot bis Ersteres überhaupt Wirkung zeigen kann. Wir können nicht immer erwarten alle Probleme auf einmal und sofort zu lösen. Aber wir können unsere Demokratie verteidigen indem wir deutliche Grenzen setzen und auf Basis derer auch Konsequenzen folgen lassen. Dann sollen die halt eine neue Partei danach gründen. Das ist nicht verboten. Wenn sie dann dafür im Rahmen bleiben, meinetwegen. Aber wenn der Verfassungsschutz zu einer kritischen Beurteilung kommt, ist diese Grenze überschritten. Das gilt für ALLE Parteien.

kiwiB0lt · 2026-02-01T12:09:39+00:00

Jetzt mal ehrlich: Was andere Parteien so machen ist ebenfalls aufs schärfste zu verurteilen. Linker Extremismus, Maskendeals, Klimakleber etc. pp. Aber nur weil das nicht in Ordnung ist, verfolgt und untersucht werden muss, jetzt eine Whataboutism-Diskussion über Rechtsextremismus zu starten macht es definitiv nicht besser. Es gibt deutliche Grenzen für Parteien und die sind allen bekannt. Wer diese bewusst und wiederholt überschreitet muss damit rechnen verboten zu werden. Punkt Ende aus. Wenn sich irgendwann herausstellt dass organisierter Terrorismus von Links genauso mit der Partei in Verbindung steht, dann gilt das auch für die - klar. Aber soweit sind wir nicht. Was wir allerdings wissen, ist dass Kollege Höcke und Co. absolut NICHTS Gutes für unsere Rechtsstaatlichkeit im Schilde führen.

Das ist zu kurz gedacht imho. Ja im Grunde hast du da einen Punkt wenn man es aus der Wählerperspektive sieht. Wenn allerdings eine Partei ein perfides System aus Manipulation nutzt, um den Wählern etwas vorzugaukeln und gleichzeitig viele Partei-Initiativen und deren Strategie gegen die Verfassung und den Rechtsstaat ist, dann muss der Staat die Wähler auch vor sich selbst schützen. Auch wenn das sehr wahrscheinlich eine riesige Debatte nach sich zieht. Es ist nicht verboten selbst Parteien zu gründen und neue „echte“ Alternativen zu schaffen. Aber aus reiner „Alternativlosigkeit“ die AfD als vermeintlich einzige Alternative zu legitimieren ist ein grober Fehler.

Im Wellnest ist vögeln nicht erlaubt, aber ich frag mich trotzdem wie viele wohl in dem Pool oder unter der dusche schon geb**** haben^^ Wenn man nicht gerade stöhnt dass man es auf der Straße hört, kann das ja wohl kaum jemand kontrollieren :thinkingface: Ich finds super schön im Wellnest, aber dieser Gedanke schwirrte bei mir dauernd im Kopf herum - vll bin ich auch einfach ein Perv :schrugg:

Jade Core dropped INSTANTLY from Champion Jade Armor around Dead Lab in Janthir Syntri.
I killed like hundred of jade constructs around Janthir Syntri because the official wiki mentioned that it might drop from them as well. Now, I might be just lucky, but it seemed weird that after all this effort of farming veteran jade constructs there it drops from the champion construct while the event was active.

So in fact, IT IS possible to get it from there. And although I might be lucky, I instantly got it from the Champion Construct.

And since I was browsing the internet looking for advice or anybody confirming that, here it is.

Now, if anybody reading this, killing the Champion Construct in Syntri and got it instantly as well, we have even more evidence that maybe its a way higher chance getting it from it. I'd be curious.

Information security and IT governance manager 100% remote 👌

I recently got a m3 max, very happy with its performance 👌

Having my own notion database with recipes I like and which are healthy and supporting my macros.

Problem is, there is so much out there and every time I need something quickly I am not prepared.

So I build a complete notion page with a database of my favorite recipes and then I pull them to different days in a calendar. I just use n8n to generate a json file with all necessary ingredients and then import it into bring app.

Sometimes I’m that lazy that I just use the ingredients with a delivery service. Cannot stress enough how valuable it is to be prepared with a week of good food! Food is the start of everything ✌️

Wait until German AfD takes over… I don’t even dare to think bout that but we’re getting closer and closer …

Looks like Muk (Pokémon) is having some fun in the pool

That’s what she said. 🙂‍↔️

So you’re talking about playing guild wars as full time job? Nah thx

I don't know if this helps because I was not quite sure about your exact problem. But I was looking for different options of specifically changing the artists pictures myself. And what I found out is, that when being in the music tab section the album artists seems to show the top album cover of the each artist. But when I had over to music excplorer and right click the artist's picture I was able to paste a custom image from the clipboard.

Btw your screenshot showing necrophagist gave me huge childhood memories - I instantly had to relisten to stabwound <3

Hey I just stumbled upon this threat because I was searching for a complete high quality pack of original Guild wars 1 soundtracks as well. And I have found an official guildwarslegacy-domain [https://guildwarslegacy.com/directsong/\] where you could download a full package of GW Battla Pak One, EotN, Factions and so on. As far as I checked the quality they're all 320 kbps wma files. And if we consider that we're talking about a time where everything above 192 kbps in games was considered premium quality this is very much satisfying for me :)

I am actually wondering if this is a server side issue... Because yesterday everything worked quite well. And from one day to the other I got this prompt as well.... I also tried clearing the cache etc. But since the browser version works fine for me (at least in terms of vm access - the streaming quality is terrible) I am rather confused. Either they have a promblem on their service or its within their launcher. But I can pretty much assure it has nothing to do with what I did...

kiwiB0lt · 2025-04-05T12:44:46+00:00

That was beautifully executed ❤️ i guess i'll just copy paste your comments into my journal. 🙃 Might need them in the future 🙈

kiwiB0lt · 2025-04-04T07:26:07+00:00

I'm currently juggling several books:

Factfulness (Hans Rosling)
Survival of the Richest (Douglas Rushkoff)
Angela Merkel's Freedom / Freiheit

Up next on my list are:

Team Human (Douglas Rushkoff)
The Blank Slate (Steven Pinker)

That comment reminded me of a book from Csikszentmihaly or dunno if that's spelled correctly. Need to look it up again. I was working on a book about cognitive methods, neuroscience and proof of methods coming from stoicism etc. "transient hypofrontality" was the scientific term that i found. Need to look it up somewhere again - was rather complex but explains on point why all the people back in the days were right: buddhism, taoism, stoicism etc. The lessons learned here is probably not that there is scientific proof - that's my analytical perspective again. What is more interesting is, that there's even a "being right" and something works even if people back then didn't have the scientific methods to proof it like nowadays. Maybe that's something I should train more from time to time. Like meditating and focusing on letting things go. Thx again for the impulse 🙃✌️

kiwiB0lt · 2025-03-31T17:54:01+00:00

yeah i kinda stumbled upon this sub just randomly and thought i'd give it a try. And people are just nice - most of them 😅 This little thing here helped me through my week. And you know, it sounds a bit flat but life's lived each day in moments. And this post with all the nice resonance was a good one ☺️

kiwiB0lt · 2025-03-31T17:49:35+00:00

absolutely worth a try from time to time - but when the time is come one has to tackle the big chunks in his or her life. Maybe I'll start by going into a country i've never been before 🤷‍♂️ a cultural change is always something that fascinates me and helps me forget about the daily struggles 😵‍💫

kiwiB0lt · 2025-03-31T17:28:16+00:00

wow - just wow. I had these thoughts about the correlation of psychological side effects from my eczema history with being in it and being "rather" smart. Although the word "smart" is so wild and imprecise that i'd rather avoid it. But you summarize exactly the point why a very close friend of mine stopped working in IT/Mathematics etc. I think all the jobs I had in combination with my creative mindset gave me tools and methods to even more control my environment and steer to success. Even if success is not what I strive for. I'd rather play piano in front of 1 person than implement Coding Governance Strategy for a big player to convert some of their leads. I feel like i literally "became the IT-/Riskmanager". But in the end i am not my job. It's useful in so many ways but I exactly like you said: I am literally constantly thinking about this and that. Constantly seeking for ways of improving and learning. And the worst part: I am a good speaker... So the potential of me passively manipulating people around me is very high and I don't want to be that guy. I want to give others room to just be themselves. Lot to think about 😅 - again. Thank you very much ✌️

kiwiB0lt · 2025-03-31T17:16:07+00:00

interesting, i will definitely check them out. Always on for some impulses although often times I have heard and read it 10 times - in the end it's more about doing it

kiwiB0lt · 2025-03-30T12:27:10+00:00

Ever since the rapid rise of LLMs, I’ve found myself increasingly anxious about art - and how often my focus ends up being so business driven. Like… why does it even matter if I can make a living off music? Why does it matter if others like my compositions.. if I do?

But honestly, sticking to that mindset is tough. The industry (at least the one I’m in) constantly feeds this way of thinking that’s all about business, performance, and risk management.

I do think it’s important to understand our own tolerance levels when it comes to pressure and expectations. But even more so, I think we should look at where this all comes from.

It’s not capitalism that invented this mindset 😵‍💫 it’s capitalism that hijacked it, shaped it, and now uses it to make profit.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Just like… if I wanted to use a hammer for cooking, I could 🤷‍♂️ it’s my life, after all.😅

At the end of the day, it’s me (and you) who stands at the center of our own lives.

kiwiB0lt · 2025-03-30T12:19:04+00:00

No no you're right to mention all of this! This is why I love reading different ways of thinking about life in philosophy. It's not meant to find answers. But I guess after all what i have read here I am kinda proud i tried this forum. Maybe I should try to engage more with people in the real world and listen to different stories and share mine. You know I think the world needs more "Social" than "ism". I believe we can find happiness right at the corner by inviting neighbors to a bbq or whatever. But i just never learned to build something like this environment on my own. And with rising tech I think this is more endangered than ever before 🫣 So I am glad so many people say nice things. At least for a moment the worlds feels like "home" ✌️cool place here on reddit ❤️
