  Can you though? Can I build the apk myself and use their services?

  Back when I switched to Linux, Nvidia worked much better than AMD cards, but everyone hates them for not providing open source drivers, understandably

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'End of 10' to Windows 10 Users: The Environment Wants You to Use Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, Nvidia drivers work just fine. They’re just proprietary, and once in a while they release a faulty driver (which you can just roll back ofc). Happened to me a couple of times over the past… 14 years, fuck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For some reason our business policy doesn’t allow us to use the web versions…

  Ubuntu is very popular in businesses cus it’s Debian but with official enterprise support (I strongly dislike both though).

  Luckily all my work is in WSL2 Arch terminal with tmux, so it’s bearable, but I miss my rice setup so much!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! I’m so close to being able to switch the office PC to Linux. I only really use Outlook and Teams, everything else is in a terminal.

  Now to convince Security that I don’t need their intrusive logging and scanning crap…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I almost exclusively used both through Android with Chromecast, and I must say, I’ve had way more trouble with Emby than Plex.

  Also on smart TVs, the Plex apps just have way fewer issues in my experience.

  I know there are a lot of bots on reddit nowadays, but I blame the bandwagoning bs more. It has just gotten worse and worse over the past 10 years.

  Also proprietary and requires a “Gamer License” to host servers for more than 32 users.

  Mumble is, and has always been, the king of voice chat apps and is completely FOSS. Also it works a lot better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it funny that people are picking another proprietary piece of crap that, by the way, also requires a license to host servers with more than 32 users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely choosing Mumble over TeamSpeak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree, except also for gaming.

  Compared to alternatives, there are often lags and complete disruptions, latency is horrible, bitrate is a paid feature, and for large groups of voice channels (like managing a 500 player operation in Eve), features are still lacking.

  Also security is a joke. In Mumble, you can manage (certificate based!) permissions on every level imaginable.

  They spend their time on making silly themes and Nitro features nobody cares about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I completely disagree with this and have been for years.

  It has often had connectivity issues, big lags, higher latencies and lower bitrates than Mumble or even TeamSpeak.

  It’s super bloated, they churn out useless “features” so fast that it keeps making it use more resources and makes everything slower.

  Until recently, being in voice call with more than 3-4 people made all my 16 cores attempt self destruction.

  It is a freemium piece of bloatware.
