The latest Discord update is spectacularly ugly with those thick red lines, massive hover effects and the gigantic reaction picker 😩

@Gargron I don't see any thick red lines; which platform are you using, are you using light mode?

Five Element Ninja

@Gargron The giant reaction picker really confused me earlier because the reactions in it were emojis like the gear emoji that look like UI elements.

In a multiple choice poll, do you display percentages in a way that adds up to 100%? Currently it calculates by number of votes vs number of individual voters, so the total sum can be greater than 100%, and I feel like that's wrong...

@Gargron no, that's fine... in a multiple choice poll the options aren't exclusive, so they don't have to add up to 100%. the actual poll is a yes/no question for each, so the only constraint is that each option has between 0-100% votes.

Pomax

@Gargron the question assumes that "percentages" already have a meaning before you try to get "100%". Percentages of what? If you want to show the relative strengths of each option, then the number of users who voted are irrelevant, and it's a matter of showing 100 * optionVoteCount / totalVoteCount for each option. And then that result tells you how to rank the options, but nothing about the _popularity_ of each option. For that, you'd need to weigh votes based on how many things a user voted.

@Gargron I had flu for two weeks this January, I spent a lot of time tooting from bed :) Recovered now, but it was... 😢 xD
Take care!

@Gargron the most surprising thing is you only have 1.8T of media, I'd expect you'd be hosting a lot more

@Gargron I'd really like to start contributing and can probably do so by helping with (English) wording and documentation. I work in marketing comms and have experience of technical documentation.

@Gargron Great work, thank you. Let me know if there is a way I can contribute. Let's talk in Vienna...

Uhhhh I'm now trying to write a post-mortem on the influx of users from India in November and from Spain in December but I didn't document anything at the time and now I'm finding it really difficult to remember the details

@Gargron Just trust your impressions. Make clear that your report is not based on strong data support.

@Gargron Well, here you have the Chilean migration to try again :)

I'm curious (as a non-user), how does changing or resetting your password work on ProtonMail in regards to the symmetrically encrypted PGP key?

@Gargron
If you lose a password, you lose access to the data it protects. You can reset your account password, but you can't get access to the data again unless you remember the old password.

It is possible to export and import encryption keys for emails and contacts, which would allow you to back them up.

If you later remember your old password, after resetting it, you can get data back by reactivating the old keys with the old password:

@Gargron think it just regenerates it. You can have a key pair within it, also a separate password encrypts your mail. If doing pgp with external users you can have a separate key pair. (Can look up more specifics if you like/need)

Jocor :fedora:

@Gargron I pretty sure you can back up your key so that if you lose your password you can reset it and then use your old key to decrypt your old emails

I really regret pre-ordering WC3: Reforged when it was announced, hoping to get a refund since I haven't even launched it

For those of you who do not have the "reduce motion" setting turned on and who like animations, are there any elements of the web app you feel are lacking a smooth animation?

Olie

@Gargron Some buttons/links (e.g. the ones in the bar above the compose box) fade on hover, but others (e.g. link previews or the links in the getting started column) don't, which is a little inconsistent.

Thomas Fuchs 🕹️🔭

@Gargron honestly, and I’m saying that as the person who sort of invented web animation (script.aculo.us), only animate stuff when you need the users’ attention; like for errors or required input.

Nate Cull

@Gargron yay there's a 'reduce motion' setting? I'm gonna be ticking that one.
