1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- 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.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

You mean electron based apps? Yea I hate those. Discord, Slack are the worst. MS teams is cancer.
l personally don’t mind apps you can load through your favorite browser. Instant cross platform compatibility. I think there are some arbitrary connection limitations that make bandwidth or latency intensive apps less than ideal though.
good lord I can shittalk ms teams for days on end
technical architecture problems aside,
one of the smaller issues that has verifiably taken years off my life is how it decides to alert you with messages
coworker in the misc channel: anyone know how to fix a lawnmower?
ms teams: HOLY SHIT. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. YOU HAVE A MESSAGE. CHECK YOUR GODDAMN INBOX ASAP MOTHERFUCKER. DING DING DING
manager: call me urgently.
ms-teams: lmao who said that
I keep getting emails from Teams saying I missed a message I’d read three hours ago
Palm Pre figured this shit out years ago.
Tell me more
There's some web-based technologies that work better than Electron. React Native for desktop works pretty well and uses native UI widgets, but unfortunately there's no Linux version (just Windows and MacOS).
"This application requires Edge browser"

ChromeOS changed that approach years ago. That's how Steam is available: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439
Exactly. These people who say crap like this ether never used ChromeOS or think it never evolved beyond 2011.
But the world changed and applications in ChromeOS aren't solely browser applets any longer.
So you made a random off-topic comment. Got it. That's certainly one way to deal with having been wrong in the actual context of the post.
Incorrect. ChromeOS natively runs both APKs and Linux installs. I have the full Play Store, FDroid, and Linux CLI at my fingertips.
I'm running APKs and CLI installed apps. You made it sound like Chromebooks were still in 2011. They run packages now.
Kadu definitively has no clue and didn't even care to do 30 seconds of web search.

What's an unofficial 3rd party way about just enabling it in the setting?
