Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down and will be replaced by former Activision Blizzard and King exec Humam Sakhnini, according to a press release. Sakhnini takes over on April 28th. Citron will stay on the board of directors and serve as an advisor to the CEO.

“As we enter our next phase, I’ve been reflecting on how I can best contribute to Discord’s long-term success,” Citron says in a message shared with employees and posted to Discord’s website. “The job of a CEO is constantly evolving, and over the years I have continuously ‘hired myself out of a job.’ Usually that means delegating work and then taking on different leadership challenges. However, as I look at what is needed of Discord’s CEO over the next few years, I realize that it’s time for me to literally ‘hire myself out of a job.’”

Stanislav Vishnevskiy, Discord’s other co-founder, will remain at the company as chief technology officer.

“I look forward to working with Stan and Discord’s talented team to scale our business while staying true to the company’s core mission and the special connection it has with player communities,” Sakhnini says in a statement. “We’re still at the beginning of gaming’s impact on entertainment and culture, and Discord is perfectly positioned to play a central role in that future.”

The leadership shift is happening as Discord is reportedly exploring an IPO. In an interview with GamesBeat, Citron said that Discord didn’t have plans to announce about potentially going public, but noted that “as you can imagine, hiring someone like Humam is a step in that direction.”

Hello fellow ents. I live in Holland, and still need to learn the local language. I've got no friends that can help with this venture, I'm all alone over here.

That said, I found a source of BioBizz Light Mix and bought a 50L bag of it for 1 plant. This will be an outdoor grow, and my first. Bought a 6.5gal/ 25L breathable flexible pot from RQS. Sunniest and longest period that hits my garden is West-facing. Strain is Diesel Autoflower.

I'm in Drenthe, The Netherlands, and should be inundated with how-to-grow-cannabis resources, but I'm at a loss. RQS (Royal Queen Seeds) has been a great resource, and I found Mr. Canuck on YouTube.

My seedling just cracked in the water today. So far, my research tells me Autoflowers don't like being transplanted, they take like half or an 1/8th of photoperiodic traditional plants, so directly into soil she'll go.

My question is... nutes. Nutrients. First 2 weeks are just water, but this BioBizz Light Mix (https://www.biobizz.com/producto/lightmix/) is meant to just act as a well draining substrate, lacking nutrients. So I need help here.

NPK 3-1-2 or 4-4-4 or whatever, it's most likely gotta come out of a bottle. I would like to stick with organic over synthetic. Gaia Green is not found near me. Get me going in the vegetative state, I'll keep my ear to the ground come flowering state.

Halp ^_^ Thanks in advance. -LOLseas

Im Test ebenfalls schlechtere Ergebnisse hatten Menschen mit niedrigem Bildungsabschluss, politisch konservativ eingestellte Menschen, Frauen und nicht-binäre Personen.

Allerdings hätten die Teilnehmer aus der sogenannten Gen Z sowie Frauen ihre Fähigkeiten zutreffender eingeschätzt, wie gut sie Fake News erkennen können - oder eben nicht. Bei konservativ eingestellten Personen finde hingegen öfter eine Selbstüberschätzung statt: sie gingen im Vorfeld davon aus, sie könnten Fake News besser erkennen, so der leitende Studienautor.

Much to my astonishment, some voters thought Donald Trump might be a “peace president.” I never bought it, so won’t outline the case for such magical thinking here, but his major increase already excessive U.S. weapons transfers to Israel as it continues its illegal genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, and recent, contradictory statements by Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding working to end Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine, or throwing in the towel on diplomacy, should by now have disabused anyone that Trump is a consistent peace advocate.

"The New York Times found three users on X who feuded with Mr. Musk in December only to see their reach on the social platform practically vanish overnight. The accounts are the starkest signs yet that Mr. Musk or others at the company have the power to punish critics and that they may be willing to use it, startling free speech advocates who hoped that the billionaire would be their champion."

Summary:

The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children, after the government posted their home address to social media.

White House officials have spent weeks trying to justify their deportation of Abrego Garcia, even after admitting in court that sending him to El Salvador was an “administrative error,” claiming with no evidence that he is a violent criminal and gang member.

At one point, the Department of Homeland Security posted online an order of protection that Jennifer Vasquez Sura had sought, but later abandoned, against her husband. That order contained Vasquez Sura’s home address, unredacted.

“I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions,” Vasquez Sura told The Washington Post. “So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I’m scared for my kids.”

Vasquez Sura, a U.S. citizen, is now staying in an undisclosed location with her three children while Abrego Garcia remains thousands of miles away, despite a Supreme Court order requiring the U.S. government to facilitate his return. Both the Trump administration and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele say that Abrego Garcia will not be coming back to the U.S., and Vasquez Sura has received hateful comments and taunts on social media.
