Gotta be honest, this happened to me today on Linux and when I read it, my first reaction was "What the heck...miners?!" Then I read the code lmao. That scared me for a second there.

happy april

[WessellUrdata]

It's a feature, not a bug lmao

[YoshiRulz]

This is exactly the sort of "fun gimmick" that makes the official Discord client annoying to use. Browsers, text editors, etc. don't function any differently on April Fools' Day, and neither should IM clients.

I didn't for a second think it was real but alas I chuckled

It's all nice and funny but it doesn't start anymore. Just sits in the task manager until killed by hand. And different error appears. Same error appears for any app activity, be it start or uninstall. Worked fine yesterday.

good one. now, write code to remove it!

1000% agreed. Not a funny joke when we're depending on someone to write good code, and even moreso when the "funny feature" utterly breaks the application!

This has been around since august 2022. IMHO you had plenty of time to see this coming. Just another reminder that many people depend on code they have no idea about. People are happy to use open source solutions for free yet so fast to complain when it's not working the way they intend too. Plus this is a funny joke!!

It is harmless through, the dialog actually acts like the introduction to one feature I've implemented during time I've worked on error handling – a way to ignore errors and continue further. This way the client might work completely normal in some cases (like this one) even after an unhandled error occurred.

omg I was like WTF lol BTW this is happening on GNU/Linux as well.

I actually came here assumign it was this, but because I'm deplying it on a work system I needed to prove upstream enabled it on purpose.

yes we use discord for work, no it's not a good idea.

So this was just an april joke, well i'll admit got scared for a moment, apparently pressing not today satan will open the client normaly. Wondering how long this "feature" will remain active

Discord for work really is a terrible idea. Have you seen their latest terms of service update?... Discord is now official recording voice calls and screen sharing session, they listen to all conversation from millions of users, what the **** is happening? This is insane.

Yeah, WebCord was never a enterprise-grade software, so I've never expected for anyone to treat it as such.

This is coded to only be triggered at 1st April (local time), so I guess the next day you will expect it to behave normally.
