I don’t know if it is new, but it is in the help files when I tried to figure out why it required both confirming an email and the phone.

The worst part is that they act like you can set up an account without a number, but then it acts like there is ‘suspicious activity’ and requires you to verify with the phone immediately.
Just rant into this yesterday trying to set up a work account as my work phone is not a mobile phone with sms.
Was registering really suspicious?
My only complaint about discord is that it requires a mobile phone number for an account, and you can’t use the same number for multiple accounts.
I want separate personal (with a silly account name) and professional (with my name) accounts, but only have one phone.

Someone trying to write the code from scratch would still take a research team and years to replicate it from scratch.

The films are fantastic and a solid adaptation for a different medium, they got the feeling down even if some parts were left out as part of the change to the other medium.
The Hobbit movies are hot garbage though, and I blame studio meddling for those.

Companies get to steal from people all the time without repercussions through erroneous fees, ‘mistakes’ in billing, denying coverage, and even outright fraud only gets a slap on the wrist fine at best. But an average person steals $5 and they are thrown in jail.

Any time they say that people want to be in the office or that interpersonal communication only works in person they are projecting. They just have the ability to force it on everyone else.

Lemme tell you about the difference between a clip and a magazine!
A magazine is a paper distributed like newspapers but in more of a booklet form and with higher quality paper.
A clip is the thing that holds you chips bag closed after opening so they don’t get stolen.
Edit: that should be stale, not stolen, but I’m leaving it
A chamber is the space in automatics, semiautomatic, and the slide back single shot weapons for the bullet when it is about to be fired. Any game of Russin Roulette played with a bullet in the chamber is going to be very short.
Russian Roulette is played with one bullet in the cylinder, the spinny thing on a revolver.

That is the problem. Using proprietary software that can’t even be reviewed outside of blackbox testing in the government’s contract process lets terrible software companies who won lowest bidder contracts is a recipe for disaster.
All government contracts should include the ability to review the code if they don’t just require it to be open source. The company can do a lot of business supporting their software without needing to keep it secret, and if secrecy from the government is vital to their business plan then they should stay out of the public sector.

That is what the help files say, but when I tried to register a work account yesterday it did the verify you are human, then said there was something suspicious and sent the email verification, then said there was something suspicious and is now requiring a phone verification even though I did not enter a phone number.
At no point was I ever signed in and able to even pick a channel. This all happened while trying to log in for the first time through the browser at work with my work email. I guess that someone else might not hit that phone requirement as I only tried to do the registration once, but it is in no way limited to joining a particular channel.
