“Avoid caffeine after 5pm”

Laughs in ADHD

Discord has 5 levels of user verification.

None.(none)
Verified email. (Low)
Verified email + more than 5 minutes old account. (Medium)
Verified email + >5 mins old account + member of server for more than 10 mins. (High)
Verified email + >5 mins old account + server member >10 mins + verified phone number. (Highest)

Server admins can set the level. Some server sizes or types (community severs etc.) have a discord-mandated minimum level to qualify for the server type.

Normally (Medium) or (High) security is more than enough. Servers that experience raiding or high levels of trolling are recommended to choose (Very High) security as it makes it harder to make multiple accounts and evade bans or brigade a server.

Discord store the number. The server never sees those details.

Servers that ask for ID to ensure you are over age, are doing that in their own, and probably illegally handling that data, without adequate security.

The server sets the security level. Discord does the enforcing. It IS discord asking for the phone number. But only because the server asked Discord to. But the server definately doesn’t see your phone number.

I run a game community server, and normally have security set at medium.

If raided, it goes to High.
If persistently trolled by a user or users that are ban evading (has happened only once), I turn it to highest for a bit.

But I turn it back down after a bit.

A bigger server might not get that luxury.
If a server has stupid high security settings, chances are they have active troublemakers.

What the fuck do I need to “Activate” a TV for?

If I cannot use a TV without connecting it to the Internet, it is not fit for purpose and is going back to the store for a refund.

Yes I live in Australia and we have consumer protection rights.

Limited warranty companies hate us.

Even watching via Xbox connected to the TV is a better option than that.

I have an Xbox, a fetch tv box and a Chromecast.
Combined with a PLEX server it’s all I could need.

Disconnecting my great Samsung display from the network and using it as a display/audio output device only and never seeing another ad was a really good decision.

I stayed dry and fully clothed while building a sandcastle and watched the locals go swimming in wetsuits. Can’t remember where, somewhere on the coast of Claire or Galway.

I was staying in Doolan, so it must have been Bishops quater beach. It was in 2004, so I could be wrong.

It’s fecking cold!

Back to the high seas it is.

I’m not paying for 5 streaming services to watch 1 show on each. So now I’m paying for no streaming services.

Convenience as a reasonable price was the deal. It it neither convenient nor reasonably priced any more.

Cable TV all over again. Region locked DVD all over again.

codes a desktop OS specific program coded in C just to spite you

To be honest I absolutely hate everything being a browser app.

Goes out partying in the late 90’s.
Stimulants were taken.
All my friends were wacked out. I got home and did chores.
So much coffee and cigarettes. My coding time was fueled by them.
I actually have a harder time sleeping without coffee, as the coffee quiets my brain a bit.

Age 43: diagnosed AuDHD.
Psychiatrist: so I’m guessing you have an affinity for stimulants.
Me: Ohhhhhhhh! That explains things.

Now I have a Concerta prescription, and can function like never before.

These games were how I got into 3D modeling.
Making custom maps and assets and playing them for Doom 1&2, Quake 1&2, Quake 3 Arena, UT2014.

These games had such great longevity because you could make your own new content or get it from others.

The game you bought was just the beginning.

Also the base games were wicked fun to begin with.

Watch them not implement the per-resource password access properly.

ABC as in Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the public broadcaster.

You can change the base font size under:
Settings > General > Base Font Size

Direct link to setting:
Settings shortcut: General > Base font size

Yeah man. What the hell!? Just going and making a nice app that works well.

What an ass.

That makes more sense than my initial take for sure.

Oof. They got me.

I guess my congrats go to you.
