This week they've been pushing some new Discord college spaces; asking me to connect my account to a .edu mail address. Believe I've seen the popup twice on my desktop, and once on mobile.
I actually did get that too on desktop. It is a bit annoying but not enough for me to call it bloatware.

I despise discord. It's bloatware. It has constant popups that are difficult to disable.
I do read their tech posts on HN, and they are always fascinating. But it seems to me like a product that the MBAs have taken a over.
Mind going into more details about the popups? Ive been using for years and cant say I've ever had a popup besides the occasional changelog.

I've had a pair of Electric Sunglasses for nearly 6 years and would recommend them. Made in Italy.

What does the music sound like?
Link?
They link the track in the article.
Does anyone happen to know of a service like this that is free (not self hosted) for non-commercial, low-traffic sites? Or which costs less than ~$10 per year.
I have a basic Github Pages site, and I currently don't know whether anyone is looking at it, beyond the very few who take the time to email me. I don't need (or want) to know anything about my visitors, but it would be nice to know that I'm not simply tossing stuff into the ether.
I would recommend GoatCounter.
