I remember we had a discussion about moving to Discord not long back, Just wanted to share an experience - we moved a large community from Slack to Discord recently & it went smoothly. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about the move but within a week of transition, I’m (& other members) loving Discord a lot more than Slack. I now see why it makes sense to use Discord platform for running communities.

Filed a complaint against Amazon on Consumer Helpline and this was their response. I had to scream and shout to get my money back but take a look at their pathetic response to the Consumer Helpline ticket - "We are just an intermediary so we are not responsible" We really need more regulation and better consumer protection laws.

Hi tribe What’s your take on Gaming consoles vs Gaming PC. Gaming consoles have more exclusives than PC, but can that be the only factor before buying either of them. If you use one over other what was the main thing that drived you buy it. I’m planning on getting one but confused what to buy 🥲

Hello folks, We have a

Client

table . We are required to make a third party API call in which we have to pass a certain credentials that are specific to each

Client

. We need store these credentials somewhere. 1. We needed to know if it is recommended to save these credentials in the database. 2. We would be required to use these credentials in plain text when making the call to the API. Saving an encrypted version and decrypting every time upon usage is what came to me. Don’t know if this is the correct approach. How would you have handled that? I am looking for best options to go for. Thanks
