Discord now requiring phone number to login?

Maybe because I use librewolf with most browser fingerprinting and tracking disabled? I normally got like 3 to 5 captchas before I could login to discord.

For real tho

This seems to be the config:
cookiebanners.service.mode = 1 (reject all) or 2 (reject all or fall back to accept all).
So on 2 it would reject all, and if not possible, accept all.

Yeah exactly. What are they even verifying? They don't have my phone yet, so anybody could put their number there and 'verify' the account. I suppose it's to stop bots, but still, some other options should be available.

I'm stuck researching things instead of actually doing anything
Thanks everyone already for all the suggestions, makes me feel like this is something that happens to others as well.

Didn't know that, now I'll definitely have to look into it, thanks!

Thanks. I want to try this and accept it if things go wrong. I already realise that in the worst case, we go to a restaurant nearby or order pizza or something.
But somehow my brain wants me to do hours of effort to make it perfect. I should have some kind of training to accept mistakes and imperfect results.

Might be a good option. I would have to protect myself though, I burn so fast standing outside. Does this require a white card?

Does this require some experience with forklifts or something?

Why is it legal to buy and sell used books/discs but illegal to buy and sell used digital files?
Reply in thread
Not if you already activated it.
It used to be possible to buy games as gifts and and them to your inventory to give to somebody ( or activate it yourself ) later.
Now, when you want to gift a game. You have to immediately select the person you want to send it to.

I would love to be able to just make anything based on whatever is in the fridge. But I don't really have much experience yet, and especially on days when I'm tired, I feel incapable of thinking up something to prepare. I just stare at the fridge and pantry and have no clue where to start.

Yeah, I feel like I have this a lot, in many areas in life. But how do you combat it?

I suppose I can try that option, but I guess these kind of services should be blocked by them as well.

I actually like cooking, especially if it turns out well. And I don't really mind working on it for an hour or so. But this time I spent and entire free day looking up things to make and it felt a bit too much.

Haha, great choice of mouse :)
I never really got into music much, maybe because it's too distracting for me (especially with lyrics) I do feel like it can be very relaxing, but it heavily depends on the song. And I never bothered to make myself a playlist, so I don't really know what I would listen too. (and I will avoid that rabbit hole for the time being :P)
Thanks for the kind words.

Maybe this should be enforced by law. At least for digital purchases which are basically a license.
The only things you can easily give to others are DRM free things, like the games you can buy from GOG. But in that case it’s also easy to copy.

I think it would be good to try more simple recipes. Eggs are great and I like to use them in many ways.
I think part of the issue is also how I’ve been brought up. My parents always made different meals every day and always wanted to make healthy and tasty food. But they never taught me how to cook.
So my standards are kinda high, but my actual skill is not that great.

I think that’s a good idea.
I actually like taking recipes and trying to reduce them to their most generic form. Like a curry, or a stew, or a salad. Most of the ingredients can be substituted, but the basic steps are the same.

How to keep track of events and reminders without being sucked into distractions
Reply in thread
That's what I try to do. But sometimes I forget setting the alarms and then I start double guessing myself. Checking my calendar anyway even though I already have alarms set.
I was looking for a way to automatically set alarms based on calendar events, but seems like I'm out of luck...

I have a smartwatch currently. But I sometimes forget to charge it, which means that I won't be able to use it for a while. It does help with noticing notifications though, I especially like that the alarms are silent and only noticeable by me.
