Copy of the event info from Discord for users who don’t go there:

Next Episode: 26-Jun-2026 at 2pm TWiT (PST) time or 5pm EDT (my time :wink: )

Jeff is also the founder of Discourse, the very software you’re using right now! And he’s a member of this forum and lurking right now (@codinghorror)! But don’t ask him for Discourse support - he’s too big time for that these days. Instead ask the mods for your particular server (like me or @PHolder ) for help. For general Discourse help there’s https://meta.discourse.org/

Stay Gold!

Isn’t this actually episode two?

Of course it is. What do you see?

Yes, I was just promoting the next event here on Discourse for users who don’t frequent the Discord. Also, during the first event, I don’t think there was any definite indication that more was coming. :wink:

What do you mean? Are we missing episode 1? Or is it episode zero, because that would be annoying!

Please do; I perma-deleted my Discord account years ago, and Discourse also has chat. Nothing against Discord, per se, I just prefer to have coherent, structured conversations with like, actual paragraphs and stuff? I grow weary of chat that is trying to morph itself into a CMS,.. and if I’m gonna chat, it’s going to be on Signal..

I believe in a thing called love, and also, the power of the ¶

Basically if you want to talk to me, you’ll need to do it here. If you don’t want to talk to me, that’s perfectly fine as well. I ain’t the boss of you.

So come on in! I know it’s not “chat” (though it does have chat) and it is a bit scary to type actual sentences. But I believe in you! No, not you, that other guy next to you!
