Colleagues were in a heated argument over this one. 😋

Discords update "policy" is really annoying.

I daily-drive Manjaro and discord refuses to allow you to log in with an older client version when they release an update.

Manjaro's stable takes about two weeks to catch up so when this happens I'm stuck looking for an alternative way to update.

Usually I go for the AUR or (if available) unstable branch package but today the AUR wasn't up-to-date yet when I encountered this problem.

This is a minor inconvenience and was fixed about an hour later when the AUR was updated with the newer discord-electron-bin but I just don't get discords game here?

Why not allow the previous client version to connect and alert users of an available update like any other sane chat application does?

You could go for a time period like two weeks or a month and AFTER that start forcing users to update. I don't get why they force it the instant they release the update.

Just wanted to share this annoyance here, maybe someone encounters this possibility when designing update cycles for their application. I urge you not to instantly lock-out older versions. It's annoying, useless and restrictive. Or if you do so, opensource it so repositories can immediately build from source and sync and don't need to wait for a maintainer to update the bin in the repo.

Massive backpain yesterday. Was okay when I woke up but still 4/10. Went to the gym. Pain is gone. Yay

Quora basically has become a ChatGPT relay at this point.

They told the intern to "just rebase". The unflawed masterminds of HR also gave the intern more permissions than they did me on Stash.

Now I can't even fix our interns "just rebase" without waiting two days on a permissions ticket.

It's going to be a good week. 😑

Markdown is useful for a quick note, AsciiDoc is useful if you want to go a bit deeper into customization and features.

But I find myself reaching for (Xe)LaTeX quite often once the document I'm trying to compose requires even a little custom content. Am I alone in this? What's your favourite go-to for quickly setting up not-so-standard documents?
