Surely this will mean they have plans to fix screenshare audio on Linux, right? …Right?

Sure, right after they implement other advanced features, such as AFK detection on Wayland!

It does seem like they hired someone to update their electron base so, presumably yes (you can see activity from a discord employee in their electron fork on GitHub)

Holy Jesus, if they actually fix that, that’d just be incredible.

If any FOSS project maintainers see this, please stop using Discord for your community.

As a FOSS project maintainer, I provide a bridge between Discord and Matrix to give people the choice. Not everything he is comfortable with federated social media yet, and the Matrix federation specifically is not very stable.
technom@programming.dev 6 months ago
I didn’t make the reason for my request very clear. We need discussions to be archived and searchable from the internet. While Matrix is better than Discord when it comes to openness, it isn’t much better in terms of searchability. Even the old Google groups were better. I would suggest something like Discourse (the forum).

What is your recommendation to use instead?
technom@programming.dev 6 months ago
Matrix is one option, if you just want a chatroom, similar to IRC. An online forum, like Discourse (not discord) is even better, since it creates a searchable history of past discussions. That way, most users who face any issue with your software can solve it themselves based on past discussions.

Github/Gitlab/Gitea per repo and project issues?

Use the Webcord app to access Discord on Linux. It has better Wayland support and improved privacy. They are also on Flathub: flathub.org/apps/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord

I don’t understand how this is adding privacy.

Webcord blocks the tracking JavaScript

I don’t use Discord but this is great for Flathub. It seems that the community is coalescing around flatpak as the distro-agnostic package manager for desktop Linux moving forward. The next biggest targets should be Steam (kinda sorta official already) and Spotify.
I would imagine VSCode stays a snap only app so long as Ubuntu is now Microsoft’s baby.

What’s the relationship between Microsoft and Ubuntu now?

I don't know how slapping a sticker on a shit stain could be beneficial, but I guess it's a trusted and certified shit stain now.

Not sure what Flathub is, seems like an NSFW site for people with no chest but good for them.
mark@programming.dev 6 months ago
No its for grandmas who want to be sexy but hate wearing high heels

I know you’re being facetious but it’s like a universal non-denominational app store for linux.

Discord sux, switch to Matrix. You will thank me later 😉
Sanguine@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Cant fully switch if everyone still using discord
mypasswordis1234@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I am not 😶

Thank you for what? Moving to an empty platform that nobody I’m trying to communicate with uses? Then what’s the point?
Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
You should be the change that you want.
Obviously, create alt accounts so that you can talk to yourself.

Wut? Matrix is buzzing in tech circles. I can admit that it’s not very popular outside of tech and Foss, but these are the contexts we’re discussing here.
