i dont usually post anything myself but i saw that post and was like "hey wait a minute ive used this crappy messenger for years i know it hasnt had a send button" turns out yeah that was mostly the case, but there is one, it was just added literally only a couple years ago as an accessibility option aaaand apparently discord probably reset their settings and turned it off??

i have it turned on for myself rn though, most recent version of discord

I totally agree that the dedicated spend money button sucks. However, if my memory serves, there has never been a send button on the desktop version of Discord.

Based off of this video from 9 years ago, made by discord themselves, it would seem like that's the case. I have been looking around to see if the future versions did include it, but from what i can find so far, nope.

EDIT:

hey its in the accessibility section

just go turn it on there and you're good

it was definitely not a thing discord had turned on by default, i found out it was an option added around 2022, but it has been in the accessibility section ever since it was added to the desktop version.

We've lost a lot to the onslaught of enshittification but I can think of none more brazen than Discord getting rid of the send button

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

sometimes bad things happen to you but the manner in which they're inflicted is so indistinguishable from the sorts of cruel and unusual misfortunes that befall a character in a sitcom created for the sole purpose of suffering for other people's entertainment that it's impossible to even begin to get upset about it

Hey, friends, there's a BIG recall going on in the US of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products that are potentially contaimated with Listeria. The products in question were sold to restaurants and other commercial institutions, but a lot of them were used in products like ready-to-eat salads or freezer meals — HEB, Trader Joes, and Fresh Express are just some of the companies that have been identified so far.

FSIS, the branch of the USDA that regulates these items, has a list of products that would have been sold in groceries and convenience stores, though I recommend checking back since it looks like the list is a work in progress. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/brucepac-recalls-ready-eat-meat-and-poultry-products-due-possible-listeria.

Look for "51025" or "P-51025" on the USDA inspection stamp that should be on the packaging.

Another thought about mouthwashing

The premise of a game where you are a space ship captain traversing the stars with your crew only to become stranded sounds like such an interesting and exciting tale.

The game, however, hammers home the reality of this once fanciful idea by showing that youre a glorified space trucker, your crew is here to do the bare minimum (make sure no one dies and the ship still functions).

Suddenly, the glittering prospect of exploring the stars is cast in the muck and grime of corporate dawdling. You aren't here to have fun. You dont get to see the world outside. This is a job. You signed away years of your life in a metal box where you get to experience none of the fantasy of navigating space.

Even the captains of this ship aren't allowed to see the stars. The most they do is make sure the ship doesn't crash because autopilot just mustn't be reliable enough. No wonder curly felt his entire life might go to waste. What experiences did he have to show for it? Staring at a screen with rudimentary representations of the world outside? He couldn't possibly even describe an asteroid he saw once.

Think about that.

A spacefarer with years of experience under his belt who couldn't describe the stars, the nebulas, the planets, or asteroids to anyone excited enough to ask.

All you can speak about are the miles of crates, bags of powders that you ate, and the thousands of company posters that blur together into one degrading message of "you be a good worker, now!"

I'd want out, too.
