This is a really accurate changelog .

Six months ago my girlfriend broke up with me...
BUT since then I've...
•Found the wonderful world of devRant
•Gotten back into electronics
•Taught myself PCB design
•Gotten back into programming
•Made a discord bot
•Started teaching myself calculus
•Began building an ai for said discord bot
•Designed a wireless mesh networking NIC for the TI84+CE

Sure I feel like shit most of the time but before I did anyway but I've been super productive and it feels kind of nice

Heroku: "You've used up your 550 free ours"
Me: "oh snap"
*Opens discord*
*pings bot*
Bot: "pong"
Me: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks Heroku

So, me and my girlfriend were on a discord call and she said to me: "You know how you can get lost in someone's eyes? Well, I get lost in your code".

I've never been more touched and conflicted in my life. 🥰🤨

When everything is going right in a Discord music channel...

A very accurate browser. Found this on some Discord server

When you assume user input.
I stole this from a Discord server, sorry if repost

Everyone else on discord be playing games, Me:

Discord knows the spam that is happening

A quick note about node.js security.

Decompiled Discord, a widely used chat app. Found 5 vulnerabilities (that are now reported.) Why? Severely outdated dependencies.

Cloned Mattermost, a business communication app like Slack, but open source, and (from their site) the Department of Defense uses it. Found 10 vulnerabilities (that are now reported.) Why? Severely outdated dependencies.

I get that some versions conflict, and in a fast moving enviroment, that is a huge risk - but update your damn dependencies.

Discord now has an official release for Linux!! Yeey!!

So my friend and I are trying to launch his bot in his Discord server. I'm typing node index.js: nothing. He tells me to delete the points.json folder. I try launching it again. NOTHING. I then ask him what I do then, so he sends me another .js file. Well it turns out I didn't have Node installed in the first place when I thought I already had. Give if take a good 10 minutes later, the bot is online. My favorite commands don't work because I was missing those files.

i just freaking love the humour of the discord devs...

Discord gives me life.

Family think I make websites and webapps

What I actually do is exchange high quality memes on Discord

Updated setup. One monitor is not like the others but the square is perfect for Discord while gaming. 👌

+++ Thank you for 1000+'s! +++

So guys we did it! We've reached our first big milestone!
This account was created about a month ago, and we are already this far!

Thanks to all authors (@DLMousey, @filthyranter, @baewulff) who are putting a lot of work and time into their articles and help this account to further grow in size!

To make this article at least a bit informative, here's how we publish our posts:
When I started this account, I hadn't thought of how articles were going to be published. Should I give the password to all writers? Should I post the articles manually?
Well, after I've started the devNews Discord Server, @olback suggested making a Discord Bot, that helps us to publish our stuff.
After surprisingly few hours, @olback already got a prototype working.
We have a special channel and whoever writes stuff in it, updates the current article. Later, I took on the work, @olback has done and switched to LowDB, to be able to let multiple users have their own articles they are working on and much more. (Like special signatures)
And that's how it is now.
We have a channel for draft, where we write our stuff and a channel for publishing, where the bot listens to what we write and then publishes the articles with a command.
That's all of it.

Thank you for reading!

I wanted to screenshot some of the birthday wishes that were printed for me on the discord server early this morning but they're spread too much, thanks anyway! That was very cute of you all. Only people from devRant actually bothered to wish me a Happy Birthday this early (maybe I influenced it a little bit ... 😂) But it's true
Everyone remember that ThatDude's Birthday is on January 28th 😉

The owner is Jewish and they know exactly what they were doing
Welcome to Pisscorp

Dear software companies,

As much as I appreciate all the dark themes being used lately either as default, or added as options (Youtube, Discord, Postman, Windows Explorer, etc)... you guys still suck at theming.

A #000 background with #fff font is almost as bad as the reverse. Too much contrast! Then there are some apps which use grayish tones, others brown/orange stuff... pretty ugly if you use it all next to each other.

So how about just adding good theming support? Or even better: what about a global theming standard, a styling preference, a system wide json file which defines UI elements for all apps?

Welp, time to rewrite entire Discord bot due to new Terms of Service.. Life is good, right?

Me: *goes online*
Discord:

TLDR, Fuck Electron

I love VSCode but damn I wish it wasn’t electron, same with discord and every other electron based application.

Also fuck those people that put TLDR at the bottom ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A SUMMARY IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ FUCK YOU

one of few programming topics more controversial than politics

Friend: Can you write me a discord bot?
Me: Sure, I guess.
Me: *thinking* I can probably do it in 2 hours or less*
Me: *2 hours later* why does this API work like that and why the fuck is my node module folder so big???

So, I had a friend who hated VS Code like a fuckton alot however, most of my friends are VS Code users and he's the only one who uses atom. He say that it's greater than VS Code and code then would die sooner.

Fast forward to today, he now ranted at my Discord DM about atom ahving slow startups, extensions that doesn't work, that kind of shit, not to mention hentried to commit improperly indented code (we have nazi style enforcement in out projects regarding codestyle) and made CodeClimate ranted over it.

"That's what you get for shitting VS Code" I said. Hours later, he tried VS Code and he instantly fell in love with it.

One down, more to go

So this happened while installing discord.

Not sure whether this has any positive impact on my life? 🤔

Would it be a bad idea if I mention my biggest project is a Discord bot supplying explicit material to a total of 7000 servers on my CV?
Honestly unsure.

That moment when you're providing a free service (a Discord bot) and a person tells you they would be happy to donate and you're just like:

༼ʘ̚ل͜ʘ̚༽ holy sh*t

It took me around 10 hours, but I finally got a new feature onto my discord-bot. Best thing about it is, that I can basically transfer it onto every meme format

One of the better filler release notes I guess. Not as good as Slack or Discord but still better than Google.

Le Discord login:

*logs in*
Welcome back! Would you please authenticate after your first and successful login, so that we're sure that you're not a bot?

*15 (I shit you not) craptchas later*
New login location detected! Please check your email too!

FOR FUCKING REAL DISCORD!? How about you please just let me fucking log in already? Or are your audience - gamers - really *that* prone to infections that logins from bots are that big of a problem? Because guess what motherfuckers, then you've got *WAY* bigger problems to fix already. FUCKING LET ME IN!

Its never a good idea to let 2 bots have a conversation on Discord...

i think they have some kind of relationship crisis idk.

Discord at its best !

Whoever's the fucker that want my pictures over in DMs in Discord please stop asking for it or I swear a big tiddy onee-san will ara ara you in bed, and that won't be me

Why is there no dark theme for Slack?

Programming a Discord bot in Javascript and just ran it and said, "Hi, NoVegBot" in the chat. It said, "Hi, dad!" back! (Totally didn't program it to say that 😉) That moment when you put life and personality into something you code.

Found this on a discord channel! 😋

When Visual Code has a discord rich presnce extension. 😍 😍

Discord: Restart app for improvements
Improvements: Captcha added

I finally stopped being lazy and wrote 31 unit tests for my Discord bot.

Nothing is more satisfying than seeing them all pass and the GitHub workflow working without any problems. :)

A Microservice Discord bot with a conversational AI using Tensorflow

I finally finished a project after weeks of not knowing what to do with my skills.

What that project is?
It's a discord bot that bans half of the members in a server. :/

"yes, a university degree isn't necessary to become successful, but that doesn't mean you can waste your time playing games or watching youtube for half a day.

stop complaining about the system and get your ass to work. do something, anything. stop fucking around with your life."

...is what i told a friend and he hasn't messaged me for 2 weeks. i see him on discord all the time, playing runescape or some shit.

i'm 24 and he's 22. he dropped out because he was too lazy to go to uni every 2 days.

Discord is down or idk what's happening but it's driving me mad ...

Starting my new bot experience together with Discord.
Discord is kinda easier than LINE. You had to create facebook accounts or fake lots of telephone numbers to be able to verify your bot account. They also kept changing the endpoints to avoid people using their bots.
Discord is the opposite. Discord loves bots. And that's why I start feeling love towards Discord.

I'm taking an entrepreneurship course and there is this one guy who talks empty words just to impress others.

He uses linux and at every single course he opens the terminal just to run the commands "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt remove", the rest of the time he is on discord.

He always switches to the terminal so you can see what an 'expert' he is

Why do people still use Skype

he: checkout my crazy FUD hack (a token stealer which turned out to be far more malicious than i anticipated)
me: executes it (yes in a VM)
windows defender: lemme delet this
he: ooh i forgot the word stub in there. microsoft detects that lemme fix that sends new file
me: here we go aga..
ms defender: nononono virus 117% delet this
he: i forgot it still!!

later i deactivated ms defender and analysed the traffic of the vm. in addition to stealing my fake tokens he also tried to read my Firefox/chrome history, IP.
when i asked him (2 days later) what this was all about in his "educational only" "token stealer" he threatened to
a) publish my IP
b) publish my browser history and with that my real name and address
b.0) when i asked him for proof he said he knows that my real name is "Roman Gräf" and i live in Frankfurt. (btw i do live in Frankfurt and that is in the profile of the discord server where he found me and i have the same username on discord as i have here)
c) to kill my machine and all my projects
got bored, blocked him, shut VM down.

It took me a week but I managed to build an Arduino that opens our office door when we use a command in Discord or Slack. Probably the best project I worked on during my internship.

upgraded my dev setup in my spare time

Mac Terminal to Hyper
bash to zsh
atom to vscode
dark themed everything i use (github, stack overflow, devrant, google, discord, etc.)

I'm starting my first real/big project! I'm going to program a discord bot for my senior project with Python and I'm gonna have to do it in 25 days. the goal is to get it done in 15 and polish it more from there.

That moment when you work the whole day to write a discord bot from scratch. No discord.py and other wrappers. Pure websockets, oauth2, https, json loads here and there. Understanding how the discord API works was a real challenge, but I did it :).
Most of my time was spent on discord's gateway connection and identification system.

The bot can renew its token, get all the guilds it is part of, all the channels and users of these guilds, send message and communicate with the gateway.

Tomorrow I will start connecting it to a voice channel and let it "speak". Thinking of combining text-to-speech with it, but I am not sure how well they are going to harmonize together.

!rant
print("Hello World!")

Erm..... Here goes nothing.
Hello everyone, I'm [REDACTED] from [REDACTED] in the SEA region. I'm a highschool student, 17, with a hobby of programming in Python 3 as a self-taught trial-and-error script kiddy, mostly small scripts from random "Yea I should do that, how long will it take?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"-moments. I found DevRant while talking with people in a few programming Discord servers. Hope this is enough for a "Hello World!" post....and yea, welcome me to DevRant *pop confetti and hope not forced to clean up later*

wllcnbeofozbv3-#:(#:wiwjzvfoblaa!!! If someone says "I don't have Discord, I don't play games" once more - I will run them over with a road roller. 90% of servers I am a member of are either for some open source software, open source hardware or some other non-gaming related community so stop with that "But I'm not a gamer" bullshit!

A friend got banned from discord for.. get this, cursing the president of turkey. Soooo boycott?

When I still used swing to programm some games, I met a friend and I told him stupid because he was using linux instead of just windows, just because I didnt knew what linux actually is. He then showed me some features of linux and I said, that I'll never switch to linux because I like Win 10. After that he showed me Discord as well as telegram. And again i told him I'll never use it because I got teamspeak and whatsapp. About 1 week later I only use Discord, have a linux OS installed and using telegram (but still whatsapp).

Thanks for opening my eyes ;)

Discord App devs always got the best ChangeLog on the Play Store 😂

It baffles me how underrated Electron is.

I'm not a fan of learning millions of different Framework, but I think that Electron is groundbreaking.

To give some context, both Slack and Discord are made using Electron

Me: I want to be a developer so I can make useful software that will help people!

Also me: *spends days making a bot for discord that just posts memes*

*debugs code for 2 hours*
*can't figure out why my code is not working properly*
*copy pastes code from the documentation and executes it after rewriting the entire thing 2 times*
*exception*
*after asking around for one hour, i asked a dude for help and he said that my issue looked legitimate and that i should make a github issue*
*made the github issue*
*i get a discord notification 2 minutes later from one of the project maintainers who gave me a detailed answer on the discord server of the project*

i asked around everywhere apart from the place where i was supposed to.

Production crashed literally 5 minutes after I went to bed. Collaborators couldn't fix the problem as they had to reset an API key only my account could access. They tried calling me but my phone was muted. Woke up 5 hours later only to realise it had been down all night.

Whoops.

Discord cut off a message of mine and ended up showing merely the following line:

tl;dr: fuck

I think we all could use this phrase sometimes...

Whaaaa

A normal day on discord

!Rant

Story, only read this if you feel like wasting your time

Ok so I live in a small village and it takes around 15 minutes to get to the next city by car. I can't drive yet because I am 15 and so I would need my parents to drive me there. There are also no buses anymore which drive to the city after 2pm.

Most of my friends live in that city, none of them code. We always meet on a discord server and then play games or do some other shit. Today I got online at around 3pm and when I joined the discord server they asked me if I wanted to go see the movie 'IT' with them tonight, I said yeah of course (I am a huge fan of horror movies), but only if my parents come home early enough to drive me there.
Time passed and then my last friend left the discord server because he had to walk to the cinema.
I was the last one still on the server and also the one with the farest way to the cinema. I already knew that my parents wouldn't come home in time anymore and so I decided to just start coding something. I usually code while listening to some music and so I switched over to spotify to choose a playlist. I just randomly clicked on the first playlist spotify recommended me and the song started playing: 'Sound of silence'.

Fuck you spotify algorithm.

I know that not being able to go to the cinema with your friends is a fucking stupid reason to be sad but I just feel very sad right now. Sitting alone in my dark room staring at my computer screen.

Sorry for wasting your time

Must be doing something right, Had a hardware near-failure last night (turned out to be my gpu wobbling - didn't die though thank christ) and went into full panic mode "FORCE PUSH ALL BRANCHES FUCK THE HISTORY SAVE THE CODE", 5 minutes later Jenkins pings me on discord, everything built and deployed successfully :D

Who wants to buy $77.44 worth of arduino parts (including an UNO, two Pro Micros and a Digispark)

For best offer + SH (Paypal)

Parts consist of two sepperate kits and a few individual parts purchased.
All parts are unused (besides the Digispark) but some have been opened.

Message me on Telegram @thecyaniteproject or Discord @Kianite#3935 for exact parts listing.

US based.

Backstory: (If this is even needed)
I spent a lot of money on parts for a project after everyone told me it was a bad idea. Spoiler: It was a bad idea.

Discord and captchas can go get fucked in the ass by a rusty, tetanus ridden 2m pole....
I changed my discord-password yesterday and, naturally it prompted me for a login today. So I enter my new password and that motherfucking spawn from satans anus himself with the name of captcha threw itself at me... I seriously had to select fucking street signs for about 5min before Discord let me know that I apparently logged in from a new IP (thanks VPN) and therefore needed to confirm my e-Mail address. Alright, so off to my inbox I go.
SURPRISE, I also changed my password there yesterday (LastPass Security Challenge, I changed like 30 passwords yesterday) and guess what was waiting for me?... If you guessed a captcha, you just got full fucking marks. So I was busy selecting busses and streets for the next 3min again before I could finally log into that piece of trash and autorize my IP-address and log into Discord

So I wrote a code for a discord bot a few months back. It worked perfectly alright. Suddenly one day, the bot starts sending random shit to me!

Then I realised that my bot had been hacked because I didn't use the bot token as an environment variable while deploying!

Instead I added it to the code, which I uploaded on GitHub! 😐

Fuck you, discord.
Fuck you for not using a monospaced font for the code block on mobile. Renders my beautiful function to align stuff useless on mobile...

Yesterday, when my Discord bot came into a Voice Channel and said "Hey Guys!". My friend really surprised. 😃😀

"You should put your homework on Github so I can find it easily"

I'm not sure I want my teacher to look into my github page. I mean what if he finds my Discord bot? How would he feel about my tts command saying "f*ck bitchies, get money" when someone say "love" or "poor" in a chat-room? Will he judge me?

This will be 4chan-r/greentext-ish in format. Also "me" is not me, PTH, it's referring to a game studio.

Not what i expected when going on discord today

I run a Discord for a small community and I found a image I really liked as most new users seems to think it's OK not to read the rules or believe that respect must be a rule rather then a thing given by them by choice.

Discord's bot API is super fun to use, it's definitely my most used if not favourite, it's super easy to make chat bots for basically anything. I'm aware chat bots aren't too special but the API is pretty insane and some people have made entire games in Discord alone. Cool stuff.

The only thing more dangerous than an alcoholic short-term-memory-challenged non-technical throw-you-under-the-bus IT director with self-esteem issues that are sporadically punctuated by delusions of superiority is one who fears for his job. Submitted for your inspection: a besotted mass of near-human brain function who not only has a 50 person IT department to run, but has also been questioned by the business owners as to what he actually does. So he has decided to show them. He has purchased a vendor product to replace a core in-house developed application used to facilitate creating the product the business sells. The purchased software only covers about 40 percent of the in-house application's functionality, so he is contracting with the vendor to perform custom development on the purchased product (at a cost likely to be just shy of six-figures) so that about 90 percent of existing functionality will be covered. He has asked one of his developers (me) to scale down the existing software to cover the functionality gaps the purchased software creates. There is no deployment plan that will allow the business to transition from the current software to the new vendor​-supplied one without significantly hurting the ability of the business to function. When anyone raises this issue he dismisses it with sage musings such as, "I know it will be painful, but we'll just have to give the users really good support." Because he has no idea what any of his staff actually does, he is expecting one of his developers (again, unfortunately, me) to work with the vendor so that the Frankensoftware will perform as effectively as the current software (essentially as a project manager since there will be no in-house coding involved). Lastly, he refuses to assign someone to be responsible for the software: taking care of maintenance, configuration, and issue resolutions after it has been rolled out. When I pointedly tell him I will not be doing that (because this is purchased software and I am not a system admin or desktop engineer) he tells me, "Let me think about this." The worst part is that this is only one of four software replacement initiatives he is injecting himself into so he can prove his worth to the business owners. And by doing so he is systematically making every software development initiative akin to living in Dante's Eighth Circle. I am at the point where I want to burn my eye out with a hot poker, pour salt into the wound, and howl to the heavens in unbearable agony for a month, so when these projects come to fruition, and I am suffering the wrath of the business owners, I can look back on that moment I lost my eye and think "good times."

I wonder how many people here would be interested in doing a big video conference/ chat on something like riot.im or discord

What my twitter looks like after Cloudflare decides to randomly close all my websocket connections from my free Discord bot, leaving it to die from arbitrary rate limits.

You know you've grown up when you switch from Discord to Slack

I'm not, by far, what you pros call 'decent' at being a Linux wiz but installing Discord on Manjaro got me feeling 1337.

And all I did was run packer -S discord.

Just created my first discord server after seeing so many people from here mention it. The questions I have are, why? What makes it better than say slack or something else? Is it prone to spam or bots? How is it for gaming?

So I've realized how socially awkward I am. I've had a goal for a few weeks now to get a few new friends online a few in 2 different categories. Programming friends, and foreign language friends but it's so hard and I dont know how to initiate it on social media or on shit like discord and reddit

!rant
It's nice when a great new idea you have is fairly easy to implement and works well.
My latest idea involves running my discord bot, written in nodejs off of my phone using a terminal app (that doesn't require rooting my phone).
Once I got a branch of the project with no voice support, I wrote a bash script in vim on my phone (an odd experience, I assure you) and ran it.
Things have been working well, far better than trying to use PhoneGap to build something that would run it.
All in all, I'm pretty satisfied, and it was a fun and relatively painless project! (thankfully)

Discord or Slack? 🤔

Guy's Discord bot "crashes"
we asked him what error.
"no error" he replies
we ask for a screenshot.
bot immediately exists

We ask: have you added this and this (`client.login(token)`)?
He replies: "yes"
We ask for sauce-code, he provides
what do we see? he forgot to add `client.login(token)`

Project BluePly, all people are blueplying their pfps just for fun, for another Discord anniversary, so I also tried it, using my DevRant avatar....just don't ask what went wrong...

Leave developers in a room long enough and they'll drop verbal communication in favour of irc/slack/discord

What are your (almost) "permanently open softwares" on your computer ?

Mine are discord, rocketchat and sublime

I strongly dislike people who don't even try to gather information by themselves before asking others.

Now, I'm sure ALL of you have seen this, when someone has a problem with their code, printer, etc they ask you or someone else before just Googling the answer. Like ffs, you really think that you're so special that you feel like other people should Google stuff for you, like I need you to understand that you're not special, you're not unique and there's a VERY high chance someone has has the exact problem as you.

The most common question I see on Discord as a whole is "who ping" or "why ping" or something related. Ffs Discord had a fucking button that tells you who pinged you (yes I know that the sender can delete the message, but this is rarely the case and I always check before getting mad)

On a somewhat related note, I never understood why people ask "who are you" especially when they have a name tag or whatever (and double especially if it's online) like what do you expect them to say? Do you want their life story?

Welcome to dependency hell.

Today I learn discord is not my thing at my age. 😔

Chatroom is not my thing anymore 😔

Help others with Java code on this discord channel.

In 2013: *opens cmd* "look at me I'm a hacker, I can hack your Facebook"

Now in 2019 : *copying some python examples* "I'm a hacker now, I made a bot for hacking your discord server"

The more I write Go the more I get to like the language, but today I felt like I hit a huge wall. I found out that the structure I initially planned for my Discord bot wouldn't work for what I actually wanted to achieve, which made me feel like a completely useless developer. I develop SaaS solutions in the form of REST API's for a living, so making a bot is completely new to me, which is why I probably shouldn't feel so useless. Any advice for getting back on the horse again? I really want to see this hobby project finished. But starting over after almost 20 hours of work feels so demotivating 😕

I'm setting up my working laptop. Just made a fresh install of Kubuntu, but apart from VS Code, Discord, Franz and NodeJS I don't see what I should install. Do you have any advice ?

I hate the fucking weekends.

Stuck in a family gathering where no one gives a minuscule shit about me or my comments.

No one available on discord to chat while in the midst of this depressing environment.

fuck meeeee...

CircleDisc is a CI to Discord Webhook integration package

Slack markdown is different than Discord markdown >:(

A little bit lonely on my Discord dms, would appreciate a nice chat with fellow devs.
@Rez#7408

Okay, where do I even fucking start.

Today, my account been hacked by some prick because i wouldn't send him fucking nudes. I quickly emailed discord and they keep sending me automated emails. I got so fucking pissed and then they emailed me "how did they get your info?" BITCH HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FUCKING KNOW? THATS WHY ITS CALLED HACKING IDIOT!

I sent them 5 fucking emails, no response.

Discord Support- Actually, DISCORD IN GENERAL IS A FUCKING HORRIBLE APP!

Message from discord: I am isabe*******@Gmail.com. I'm fucking pissed how your damn support team won't fucking just give my goddamn Discord account back. KEEP IN MIND I HAD A YEAR OF NITRO, A YEAR AND DISCORD CLEARLY DON'T GIVE A SHIT! YOU GUYS ARE SO FUCKING UNFAIR! LITERALLY YOU GUYS DON'T SOLVE ANY DAMN SITUATIONS WITHOUT IT TAKING MONTHS, OR YOU JUST DONT FUCKING REPLY!

A week for a full fledged discord bot with music streaming, user monitoring and levels and shit

It took me way too long to realize why my local discord bot doesn't react to the new command.

I was chatting with the remote one...

Send me a friend request
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why do people like or even use Discord?

It is the same people behind OpenFeint and Discord - which has some lawsuits against it because the app installed shit on mobile phones without users consents

Is there something like a DevRant discord, slack or riot server?

FredBoat, largest open source discord bot.
Making all the things work + making it scale when demand kept climbing was a challenge where we had to learn simple stuff like postgres, working with 3rd party apis, generally good coding patterns and maintainable code, but also rather advanced stuff like making the garbage collector play nice, profiling memory leaks and optimizing the hot path, as well as high level topics like cutting the codebase into scalable domains and services.

Hi everyone here's a question which has caused many arguments in my lurking spots on discord.

What is the worst type of bug? (logic, type, syntax, etc)
//you decide what "worst" means

A wild format bug appears!

Disocrd might not be the best product bot holy damn making bots for it is a good and well planned experience.

This goddamn obtuse motherfucker at this discord of this framework I'm trying to learn, who happens to be a mod.

I'm trying to explain my scenario to this guy (a very reasonable one in my opinion) but this motherfucker is giving me some sass saying I'm confused at very basic things or saying shit like "it's literally that simple", well ain't that a bitch.

He's doing half assed reading, and apparently he's alt tabbing to a videogame (as displayed by discord), so I guess he's not paying attention and reducing me to an idiot.

What am I supposed to do? Call him out and get banned?

No, I have to fucking shut up and stomach this idiot because I need to learn.

If you don't have much patience, you just can't be a mod and also respond to people. Just pick one.

Because people can't fucking call you out when you're being a douche.

Fuck this guy.

I really want to do something outside of bots for Discord, but I don't know what.

As you may know, build something cool is out of the scope of my existence right now.

But the things I'm proud of are -
> My Discord bot, Basic Greg.

> This little dR feed thing I made using the api.

I dont know why but everytime I want to make something I start out, find out its not possible and when Ive put it down and wait a few days there will be an sdk availble to make it possible.

5 days ago I started making a toll which reads the current song playing in spotify and it should send it to discord so other people can see the music Im listening to.
2 days ago I put the project down because there was no SDK available.
Yesterday the SDK for Rich Presence got released so I could continue where I left off.

Today i tried made some finishing touches on my discord bot. After dome struggling i finally managed to host it on heroku.

This is what happened after I put it on a real server and my dorm shut down internet access

Discord...

Okay, I have a lot to rant about discord, but today, exceptionally, to the point.

I have my dedicated server. It has uptime last 3 years better than 99,99% (was down 15ish minutes for maintainance and RAM upgrade and like 10 minutes down becouse hoster's generators failed to trigger when there was outage)

This year it was up 24/7/365.

Why am I saying it?
Well, my TS3 server is up 100% of time this year. Yet still everyone moves to discord and suffers brutal audio quality and audio lags, and outages like right now. Its not first time this year and recently discord was acting up before. Today they scored bigger downtime than my dedi server (thats not redundant, not distributed nor any fancy "uptime helpers") last 3 years.

Why the fuck people prefer discord to ts3 other that it allows to upload images more conviniently? Okay, it looks nicer, and is like 10 times heavier on machine, but other than that? Its beyond me.

So I work full time at a retail store, but only one person is on shift at a time here so I'm allowed to bring my laptop and code while I'm running the store. This is where I get most of my schoolwork done and make most of my project deadlines for web dev job.

My only social life really consists of me hanging out with my boyfriend. Often when I need to be working on some code or project he will sit next to me and play guitar/sing or will quietly read while I'm on my laptop.

Other than that I chat with some game friends through Discord throughout the day, and often visit/help family members in spare time off of work.

Not much of a social life when you're super busy

WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO RANDOM PEOPLE WRITE ME UP ON DISCORD TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR DEVELOPMENT ISSUES. I AM OPEN TO HELP BUT I AM NOT A FUCKING CODING SERVICE.

Everyone is hyped on Flutter so I got a new idea.

I'm so distasted of Discord's official mobile clients, and this popped off my head:

Why not we implement it on Flutter?

After all, Flutter has these all nice things, and its certainly better than React Native.

I've laid out some of the things that needs to be done and one thing I've noted and remembered was:

- AFAIR According to b1nzy, former Discord employee, you're gonna need to know the WebRTC packets for Screenshare.

- VC is gonna be easy, and its probably the thing I can support without being too hacky.

hmu if you're up, I'm gonna call it Fluttercord, it won't be big or anything - just a experiment I want to show to Discord since they seem to struggle with the mobile clients

Discord apparently has a new vuln allowing bot accounts to become normal accounts without regenerating the token. Explains all the thotbots and shit appearing.

So, I've decided I'm going to completely redo my Discord Bot. I will probably still use Node.js to program it, but I haven't 100% decided yet. If I do use Node.js, I will probably end up using a different Discord API wrapper for it. I also don't know what I'm going to call the bot. NoVegBot 2.0 sounds too boring, but idk.

yay! i finished the update to my discord bot!

*pushes to my github repo* (auto deploy is also on for heroku, so it should update)

time to try it out for the 6th time!
*the bot wasn't updated*

***i spend what feels like an ETERNITY trying to see what's wrong even though it deployed***

*notices 'sync changes' button in vscode*
why did i waste so much time!?

Aren't those moments where you find something that would have saved you so much time, after you wasted so long annoying?

I finally found something to rant about! So what happened is that I am participating in the Digital Ocean competition (I need to do 5PR's). So I find a report with a lot of scripts. I decide to contribute and write a discord webhook API (send messages through a webhook). The next day, the guy goes "No thanks :)" and closes the PR. Words cannot express how triggered I am. I ask him if I can make anything else out of exasperation (I did not intend to do anything for him anymore, I can't explain why I did that), he tells me no...

;(

Did everyone else's Discord just freak out and make it seem like there was new stuff in all of the channels on all of the servers?

I will never fully understand why some people think command line package managers are "more complicated" than searching for and downloading software through the web browser.

I feel like the only reason why they think this is because the command line is not a user-friendly tool to them. All of my friends on Discord use Windows, and after showing them what a fantastic tool the Chocolatey package manager is, they don't want to have anything to do with it, because it involves entering commands.

I give up. If they don't want to use this amazing tool, that's their loss, not mine. I will just continue to run

> choco upgrade outdated -y

and update all of my programs with a single command, while they have to download installers and manually go through the setups.

SO MANY FUCKING API'S WITH EITHER NONE OR VERY OUTDATED FUCKING JS DOCUMENTATION. I have been working on a JS Discord bot and I want it to work with some API's to for example display the weather in a certain place... I can't find ANY FUCKING TUTORIALS THAT WORK. I feel like I'm just missing something important.

I don‘t know if I just missed something, but does DevRant have a Discord Community or something? It would be fun, to just go on there and maybe hang out?
Or just make one now? Idk.

Some irony

Complete my custom TeamSpeak client to replace discord (making progress)

Sorry to repost,

I had made a request for friends post last week, but someone mentioned my discord link was too far down, so maybe people missed it.

So here it is chirptune#1829.

Again, I'm doing wfh and having decent anxiety so I would appreciate talking to someone. I can also hear you on your problems.

Obligatory this happened last night, roughly 1-2 hr before my first rant. And obligatory this is rookie and human error

After some encouragement from a few folks from a programming Discord server, I decided to give git a try. And it feels good! After an hour struggling, scouring the web and reading, I finally got the hang of git 101 and made my first working repo on GitHub!

.......except for one thing. My Picross generator (doesn't generate the image, just clues) was lost while I was struggling to get rid of the SCM from my generator in VSCode (turned out it was as simple as deleting ".git" folder), I accidentally deleted the generator. 4hr of work, down the drain. At least I kept the papers on the generator's logic so rewriting isn't gonna be a pain in the ass but...ughh.....

Today someone shared one of @trogus his devRant comics on my best friends Discord community with people from her stream. Now I'm in doubt if that asshole (another story) is here or if he saw it somewhere else. As far as I know he isn't a dev.

But if he is here: Still waiting for your apology Neko

*spends 3 hours debugging a specific piece of code*
*my code wasn't working*
*wonders what the hell is going on, copy pastes code from the documentation*
*the example code still wasn't working*

*hops on a discord and asks about it*
tfw "the library you installed from pip is a fake package and that's why nothing is working"

:V

I've decided to do something very ambitious for my new Discord Bot. I'm going to try to embed Google Assistant into it. 🙃

A discord bot with streaming music from YouTube, ranks, commands and teams and a full scp wiki for only 5 euros and a week. I still regret not taking 50

Me: *creates new Vue.js project in IntelliJ IDEA*
Also me: *waits for 2 hours*
IntelliJ IDEA:

PS: Also could someone please comment with Vue Land Discord invite link/code that's not expired?

My latest project is going quite well, I think some of guys might like it! Basically it is a entirely new Fallout game with multiplayer aspects made in Unreal. Now most of you are saying "dude make textures is going to take years!" However I can extract models and textures from Fallout itself, saving time. The next question will be the legal stuff however Zenimax gave me permission as long as I don't restrict access, money or otherwise. If you want to check it out or think you can help go to the sub Reddit and click the discord link!

Finally, tomorrow, I'll finally get myself a 8gb ram.

Finally, I won't run my Virtual Machines in 3fps.
Finally, my running time in nodejs will be faster.
Finally, I'll be able to open Chrome, VsCode, Discord AND LMMS without torturing my laptop.
Finally, I won't have to play my favorite games in ultra low.

Finally, my suffering will end.

This is still not perfect tho, I'll probably end up buying a whole new PC in two years but for now it will be enough. I mean, I'm not sure switching from 4 to 8 will make that big of a difference (or is it? 🤔) and I wish I had enough slots to go from 4 to 16 but meh. Life's unfair.

Of course this is not going to make me a genuinely better dev but at least it will relieve a bit of the frustration that comes during the testing / running process.

Some of you will maybe still remember my "discord library from scratch in python" project.

I am thinking about publishing the script (yes, it is only one script. I was lazy lol) on Gitlab today.

Well ... a few minutes ago i tried to make a discord script wich is changing my status from idle to dnd to online and so on, in an infinite loop, all good until i checked Task manager and saw how much memory is using. my bad i guess in the way i wrote everything

So I'm helping my vocational school teacher with his Programming class as a graduate. While we were alone and talking about normal stuff (plans for the class and stuff like that), he brought up discord and after that I told him "I really wanna work for them, but I don't wanna move" and he continued to tell me how I have so much potential, how nothing stops me, how I am going far and that I'm going to do a lot. I wanted to legit cry inside because I've always thought the exact opposite of myself and always just thought about living a normal life, with the same dev job, nice home yknow the norm.
Idk man that talk happened in the afternoon today and Im still overwhelmed with the positivity.

Discord new features announcements are awesome

Just started using Discord.....Any Discord server suggestion to join ?

Just a rant I sent to discord instead of devRant
( Hope you can read it with all the compression )

Is there a developer discord, WhatsApp group, signal group or something similar here? I would love to be chatting with like-minded developers

Social life? Do aikido/japanese classes count?
...Hanging out on discord and/or MMOs DOES count, right? Right?!

About a year back, after messing around with someone's Discord bot.

And now we've made one together.

Sonuva bitch thought he's so smart. He made a mod of a game, and a launcher for it, APK while bullshitting that "Games shouldn't have IAPs because it's just a game". I got ticked off, I called him out for bullshitting, he got ticked off, I asked for proof of the mods, this is what he gave me. It's on an iPhone mind you, and he said he made an APK. My fucking god. I sworn at him with another programmer friend for a solid 10 minutes, breaking the community's rules 20 times over non-stop (I'm Moderator so.... (not Reddit, Discord (Yes mom I use Discord (Yes I moderator)))). My fucking god. AT LEAST MAKE SOME FILES INSIDE WHILE YOU'RE BULLSHITTING US! OH WAIT! YOU CAN'T! YOU'RE NOT JAILBROKEN YOU PIECE OF SHIT! (more in the comment)

Every time I successfully create / do something new. For example when my Discord bot came into a voice channel and said hello to everyone. That was awesome.

I have some doubt about the second assertion 🤔

Polyglot discord bot

Dear windows,

you maybe protecting my privacy when you block my microphone from all apps, including discord, audacity, OBS, Skype, everything.

Why do this though? I may as well completely protect myself from everything by turning off my PC.

Thanks for telling mw btw, I thought my microphone was broken.

Any discord server for noobs guyz?? I could use the company...feeling lonely :-)

Coming with "practical" ideas for things to make, other than bloody Discord bots and stuff that helps them.
I really wanna learn a new lang like Kotlin or Ruby, but I just don't know what to make in order to properly learn them.

How can I peacefully code my discord bot if my PS4 is begging me to play Kingdom Hearts ? Well, guess I won't be sleeping a lot tonight...

Working on a library for a discord bot I'm gonna make.. the library is about 80% done and I can already build a working bot with it. But now all those new questions appear in my head about things I am going to make like "how do I design permissions" and similar stuff.... AM I OVERTHINKING THIS TOO MUCH?!

I've spent 6 hours on a discord bot using a language I have no experience in and I have got it to a good foundation. Gotta say im pretty impressed at my ability to google..

Why are more games or media platforms not encouraging the use of similar account naming conventions to Blizzards launcher or Discord.

The way you can have a name# with a 4 digit code pretty much gives you the ability to have 10k users with the same account name but still be unique.

Just tried PokeMMO which has been around since about 2010 I believe? Not only is their system shit with a 3 char limit and the inability to delete characters, but the game is so fucking old that I literally spent between 30-60 mins looking for a variation of my name that was both likable and available.

I've never designed a naming system like discords before, but surely its a better alternative to this shit?

My friend is telling me to switch from Linux to Windows because Discord doesn't work properly on Linux... 😔

I'm looking for a nice Raspberry Pi kit to host my bots (Discord / Twitter) but I never used one so I don't know which to choose. Someone has an "expertise" to give?

Im in a discord guild, theres this bot you can play blackjack and roulette with. Also, you can "work" every 3 mins to get virtual money...
Im so caught up betting that im gonna write a script to automatically work for me every 3-4 mins .. :i

On my TF2 Server, I asked the 8ball a very important question...

Leaving Discord open while working on personal projects. When switching between windows it’s all too easy to get distracted by a spicy shitpost strolling by...

Fuck you, whoever kicked me out of LinkHub Discord server + revoked repo access... i even contributed. I don't care if you shut down everything, just say something before kicking me out... rude mf
