Don't get me wrong, I like the software,
  • drag and drop images/files/video
  • works on android, can insta-send camera pictures w/o hassle
  • can screen share
  • have live a/v comms
it's all good.
But this incessantly short update interval? Now I know for a fact I can't be the only one who thinks "Oh FFS, again, already, really?" because this must be exactly what the portage ebuild maintainer thinks every 10 days.
A lot of the time I end up version bumping in my local overlay, but even then it shows "Installing update X of 6" on startup.
Well enough, today I "wrote" meta-ebuilds for version 0.73 - 0.99. Every night at midnight a cron job makes the "next" version ebuild in /var/db/repos/local... and tries to digest it, if it fails to digest it deletes the ebuild, if it passes it installs it.

The question is, if this pinnacle of applied laziness works, what should the "dynamic discord overlay" be called?
I was thinking of TheDiscordantReleaseCycle overlay, but not I'm sure about case sensitivity and it's true meaning being lost...
