This is in part because of electron.
Even Steam is a chromium app. 😥

Well, that’s kinda always been the same for steam. It’s always been the client and a wrapper for the website that’s got the shop

Does screen-sharing with audio work yet?
mckean@programming.dev 3 days ago
for me vencord is working well doing what asked about vencord.dev
Flatfire@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
It works and has worked for a while. Application specific sharing for audio is an oddity though, since it can’t seem to isolate and you get all desktop audio excluding discord

Didn’t work for me when I switched to linux some time ago. Vesktop works fine tho
semperverus@lemmy.world 3 days ago
It has for some time now, but the quality is still hit or miss. Some days I get perfect streaming, other days its either a garbled mess or it can’t capture at all.
Webcam has always worked but nobody I know uses that.

Last month I started hosting a TeamSpeak 6 server, and it’s been great.

Matrix has its prime time to shine. They could be rapidly adding parity and making it a great decentralized alternative.
It seems however they are busy not updating element x, breaking signing keys, splitting every existing service they have into 2, and not writing docs

He better if it went away.

The only way for discord to improve on linux would be if they stopped releasing it entirely
voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 3 days ago
No client would be much worse than a client lacking feature parity. There are alternative Discord clients like Vesktop if you don’t like the official one.

Discord is surveillance capitalism trash that will die a slow prolonged enshittification death.
Matrix, xmpp, mumble, there are cointless alternatives for every use case that are better options.
You can 1:1 mirror discord guilds on matrix among other things btw. Mumble has been doing voice chat since before discord ever existed. Obs and rustdesk can do screen sharing much better then discord.
But sure, continue to lick that corporate boot more and tell me about how nothing can come close to the goodness of discord!

- Resolved an issue that caused Linux clients to display two titlebars.
And we still fall into stupid issues like this thanks to GNOME bias towards CSDs

screen sharing still lags my games out, making it unusable

I don’t think there are many applications that I hate with more passion than discord and anybody who willingly chooses that garbage piece of software to further hide what used to be searchable forum content behind login walls and proprietary apis should be forced to search for a solution for a simple problem of their most beloved hobby all over hundreds of stupid discord channels for all eternity.

There are tools like Answer Overflow that try to make information on discord more easily discoverable from web searches.
latesleeper@lemmy.world 3 days ago
That may be true, but I use it exclusively to chat with friends and play games together like DnD. It’s sad communities that exist much better over text are migrating to it.

Stop seeing Discord as a forum, it is an IRC clone
Jitnaught@lemmy.ml 3 days ago
He didn’t say he sees it as a forum. He means what used to go on forums, and became information easily found via search engine, is now being put on Discord.
Asetru@feddit.org 3 days ago
Never did. Doesn’t change the fact that a lot of forums are now deserted and have a pinned post that points to a fucking discord.
JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 2 days ago
It should be an IRC clone. Having the voice and screen sharing is also kinda nice.
Instead it’s IRC + MSN messenger + Ventrilo + Skype + TeamViewer + MegaShare + Wiki + Game server hosting + Forum and probably a few more I’m forgetting, and adding more bloat all the time.

Still very bad

Sure, your feelings make sense. But have you ever used MS Teams and MS SharePoint?
