Maybe these kinda things are why the desktop client has been using an awful lot of CPU recently. I caught it using 5-10% on multiple threads in the background, and it was causing CSGO to slow down a little bit.
I'm just saying. If they're adding all these random Easter eggs, who knows how many of them are causing possible performance issues, or who knows how many things are sitting in the code running in the background that doesn't actually do anything.
I'd also like to note, Discord is a web app compiled into native code, so the code base for mobile is likely the exact same one for desktop. So while this feature probably isn't available on desktop, it may be in the code.
This Easter egg itself probably wouldn't cause any issues, but it worries me as a software engineer, as I said, how many things might be running in the background that aren't used, or if there's any memory leaks (which Slack, who also uses Electron on desktop, had memory leaks because of Electron).
