Discord has been going downhill for a while. First the absurdly priced cosmetics and basic features being locked behind nitro. Then shoving adds in the form "quests" where even if you click "do not show again" it turns back on after one update.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

This afternoon we got the opportunity to compete for skills at our first event of the year at WPI. While we didn't put together great runs we got a score on the board, and we know the changes needed for the second half of the year

Pokemon Legends ZA having DLC at launch that doesn't actually release until February is really funny to me.
Why not just announce the DLC later? Or idk include it with the base game

We are in the dark timeline
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

The team (2 devs) has started working on it 3 weeks ago. They had to start from scratch because we decided to implement it natively on Android. We're having another sync on thu but so far we've covered the basics like persisting logins, timeline, etc.
