(I work for discord)
Discord Mobile absolutely supports animated WebP (in fact I just tried uploading one to make sure I wasn't hallucinating here).

I'll be real I'm not going to argue with the author but having had to use Windows 11 now for the last few months, these bugs seems like a polished castle compared to the state of the windows desktop.

(i work at discord)
Not saying that wasn't ONE of the reasons but the main reason was really that a large chunk of users had no idea that they even had a discriminator, as it was added on top of your chosen username. "add me on discord, my username is slashink" didn't work as people expected and caused more confusion than it was solving. This wasn't universally true either, if you come from a platform like Blizzard's Battle.net that has had discriminators since Battlenet 2.0 came out in 2009 it was a natural part of your identity. End of the day there were more users that expected usernames to be unique the way they are today than expected discriminators.
Addressing that tension was the core reason we made this change. We are almost 3 years past this decision ( https://discord.com/blog/usernames ) and I personally think this change was a positive one.

I run both, Tahoe on laptop, Sequoia on mac studio. Tahoe is strictly worse, the corner radius drag issue is driving me crazy on the daily.

That used to be true but they absolutely do this today :(
Spent so much time trying to repro some functionality only to realize that Windows has an allow list for what apps it listens to for certain APIs.

Curious to learn more as an outsider if you don't mind elaborating?

Twitch does not add 10-60 seconds of latency. The average latency with default OBS settings is 3-6 seconds.

It conflicts me to do “the reddit thing” and say “please read the article” but no. Personal item is not a carry on bag in the eyes of the airline.

Under $100:
I bought a $2 rice cooker at a yard sale in 2020. Changed my life, yes really. Rice ALWAYS turns out well. I don't know why I bothered to make it on the stove before.

For what I hack on I often run into issues with the FFI performance between go/c# <-> c/c++. I’d rather not write C or C++ and Rust is one of the few languages that allows me to mess around with obscure libs at native performance and yet slap a web interface in front of it. cxx/bindgen is stellar in how fast they allow you to wrap libraries. These cases is where I would want like the simplest most opinionated web framework (like gin in Go).
For everything else, there’s Go IMO.

The goal here has been for this to be transparent to users and "just work", hopefully you should see no downsides to this! If you do, let us know!

This is unhinged and I love every part of it! Apart from the repo having an attitude I often miss from the modern internet I also learnt something reading the code on how FUSE works!
