Wow, I can’t wait to never install it
I can’t imagine the venn diagram of people who still use discord and people who game on linux has that much of an overlap does it? Like cmon it’s got to be the worst possible of all the options. You’d be more secure sending a plaintext email to someone.
The thing is that everyone else is on discord. So you dont have a choice
I mean you do. I don’t use it. If someone wants to use it I say I don’t have it and make them use something else.
Good for you, but you see, other people are what’s known as “not an asshole”
How is refusing to install spyware on my computer being an asshole? You must be young. You’ll get to an age where you realize having principles and sticking to them makes life a lot more bearable than being a pushover.
Dog whatever. This is pretentious as fuck. I’m 34 years old so not exactly young but I have dozens of IRL friends in a few different parts of the country that the only way I keep in touch with them is via one discord server. I’m not about to just abandon friendships over a line in the sand like this. It’s not as easy as people make it out to be to just get them all to switch to matrix. There’s also a lot of “friends of friends” in there so it’d be extra cumbersome to get people to switch. And plenty of them are not exactly technical inclined about using computers, etc.
Do you people not have phone numbers?
Oh my god. Push to talk.
:o
Holy fuck.
Linux didn’t have the most basic voice chat function up to now??? :O
They STILL don’t???
What the actual
Checks original release date for ventrilo
It was an issue with Wayland. Before that we had X11, where global shortcuts wasn’t an issue.
They were an issue because it was the wild West and any app could keylog any other app and respond to anything. Now we actually have UX around this.
Ahhh, blame it on Wayland. I see how it is.
You know that the Wayland portal for global shortcuts took 10 years discussions before they finally settled in, right? Off course it is to blame the Wayland devs (those responsible for this portal), not Discord.
Who uses Linux thats still on discord ? Thats like non compat lol
Sometimes there isn’t a choice because others you’re in contact with prefer discord.
Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?
If you don’t support their choice to use discord, perhaps they will leave discord and go to something better. The same applies to twitter, instagram, facebook etc
“Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?”
Be the change
They will just not follow you to whichever app with 5 users you move to tbh
Then they should be left behind, it’s not like there is a shortage of humans on the planet.
You are not a very serious person
I’m very serious about not being apathetic, and/or a conformist.
Some people lead
Some people follow
Some people shakes their heads, and see soylent green as almost inevitable.
I’m not sure why I’d be installing actual Discord on Linux; I’m sure there should be an open-source fork somewhere that’s less resource-hungry and less intrusive to the system… Just saying.
“fork” implies there’s code to fork
How do you even release a voice chat app without push-to-talk capability?
TIL Discord has voice chat
Discord is rolling out global…
Goddamnit, what bullshit are they doing now?!?!
shortcut support (e.g. Push to Talk) on Wayland for Linux users
Oh… Well we got good news for once
