re: My Favorite Discord Feature

wow i have so many favorite discord features how do i even pick!!

1. i have a folding phone. discord somehow keeps a separate notification cache (?) for when i use the app on the external screen versus the internal screen, and sometimes at least one of them doesn't get updated, so on one of the screens i will get scrolled back several days in a chat that i last opened 10 minutes ago or something.
2. when i leave the discord app open on my laptop, and then i shut my laptop, and then i get messages on discord (that i probably already saw on my phone anyway), and then i open my laptop, and it plays the discord notification sound at MAX VOLUME PLUS CLIPPING… regardless of what the OS volume level is set to. i am genuinely worried it's going to damage my speakers. probably i should always close discord before closing my laptop.
3. 6 updates

…just kidding, definitely my favorite is 6 updates.

on one hand, actually having to think about git internals such as "blob" and "tree" and "ref" and "commit" has helped me understand what they are and how they relate to each other more than ever before. (git is a miserable pile of pointers, or something.)

on the other hand, i only just now discovered that the github API does not support image uploads. i was not anticipating this since you can upload images (well, files in general) through the github web interface! so i guess i'm text-only unless i'm at a computer. and you know what. fine. i like limitations
