@foobarry nope. (I had to do an apparmor thing for Obsidian as an appimage, annoyingly.)
@mfraz74 aha it's not just me!
I'm not going to cap the clients limit globally (that's the wrong fix; being a techie, if stuff dies I can quit Discord, and if stuff dies so badly that I can't log in to the screen locker I'll kill Discord from a VC) but it's good to hear that it's a general problem and Discord techies know about it, because hopefully they'll fix it

This consultation ends tonight. It does ask about age restrictions and VPNs.

Growing up in the online world: a national consultation

We are consulting on further measures to prepare children for the future in an age of rapid technological change. This includes potential age restrictions on social media and other services such as gaming sites and AI chatbots, restrictions on addictive design features and risky functionalities, and better support for parents and families.

Anybody else using Discord on Linux noticed that it continually eats up X clients until there are none left and you can’t open any more windows on your desktop, or is it just me?

FINE I'LL JUST MODEL EVERYTHING AND MEASURE STUFF THEN

actually it's not that hard, well done Blender

@jannem may give that a try but I've turned to just straight up modelling for now :) Thank you!
@jannem taken with my own fair hand (and my iPhone 13 mini) of my own living room
total fspy + blender failure. I've tried about six times to mark up points and sizes in fspy, and it looks like it works, but then when I import into Blender and position models in the right places, they don't match up with the photo :(

@baldur We're going to own these tools which you'll be obliged to use in future
(no boos)
in fact, there is no real future any more, just these tools, which to be clear we own and you don't
(still no boos)
and you should be grateful to us for it
(now a few maybe but still not tipped over the edge)
in fact I am a bit offended that you aren't grateful for it
(and now it starts)

if you want to imagine the future, imagine a boot complaining on social media that the faces aren't thankful enough
