2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I use Vesktop, it has a flatpak release and flatpak auto-updates it for me. Also it includes Vencord, so I can add as many plugins and custom themes I want.

    Idk about you, but for me Manjaro just auto manages that via AUR. dont even have to do anything.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Huh, why does it use the AUR for discord? In Arch it's just part of the Extra repo.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

    That repo always seems to lag quite a bit behind official releases. Multiple times on arch I’ve edited config files to have it lie about its version number to get it to keep working.

    Packaging desktop apps via deb (or other system package managers) is obsolete and should be frowned upon.

    cue the angry comments from cranky old people

    Also, packaging electron to flatpak sounds most stupid idea ever...

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Sandboxing proprietary apps and containerising their outdated dependencies is a good thing.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    @monogram is not electron already have sandbox?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

    Yes the built in browser sandboxes the website code, but the nodejs part has full freedom to encrypt your stuff and ask for bitcoin ransoms or ai scrape your browser history for better user profiling. YMMV

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Why? The browser client is ok.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

    Not if you need system wide PTT

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

    I fucking hate discord.

    No wait.

    I fucking hate the people who use discord.

    [–] [email protected] 132 points 1 week ago (9 children)

    In all honesty I just use the browser now as that's been the best experience with Discord for me.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

    Third party apps are way better than the native client

    [–] [email protected] 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Yup this. Tho if matrix gets desktop streaming I'm gone.

    [–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (12 children)

    Element already has desktop streaming as an experimental feature. Worked fine last i tested it. Currently planning how to trick my social circle into using it.

    I also want to go check out the new TeamSpeak, it's supposed to be a decent Discord alternative - Even though Discord originally replaced it.

    My experience with Discord, period:

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

    That's why I use third party apps

    [–] [email protected] 67 points 1 week ago (4 children)

    I mean there is always the flatpak version

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

    I actually use the Vesktop Flatpak. It's got working screen sharing with audio on Wayland (not sure if the official client has implemented that yet) and it has Vencord preinstalled for plugins and themes.

    Use the Flatpak or better yet stop using Discord.

    If you really need to use discord, use the flatpak version or better yet, use Vesktop.

    Discord is trash software. Always has been.

    All that work, and it's a web wrapper.

    When l was on it I saw no point in running it outside a browser tab
