Yeah Discord has been wacky on Linux lately, they pushed maybe 4 different updates the past week that forced you to update the package immediately.

Pro tip: Sync the package manager database before trying to update. It could tell you there are no updates when it's just pacman being out of date.

[-] TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Had this specific issue a couple days ago, but, to make it worse, the up-to-date package was not yet available. So discord would straight up not start at all.

So, to add another tip: telling discord to shut up about updates is the only reasonable response to that bs in my opinion. I'll update when I want to, thank you very much. Just add "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true in the settings file at ~/.config/discord/settings.json to put this software in its place.

Today my Windows work machine would randomly lose mouse pointer use on file explorer. Nothing was selectable other than resizing the window or killing the window. Relaunching explorer would fix it for about half hour.

Also Setting Teams times for meetings etc, shows the list of times but when you go to click on them the dialog disappears.

Linux is way more stable than W11

yeah this aint a linux hate meme, i'm just goofing about the discord nonsense this week

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I mean its true both ways :)

[-] RiQuY@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Vesktop is the way.

Abandoning Discord-only friends and using almost anything else is the true way.

Meanwhile, on debian (and derivatives):

Use the official build, but you are forced to update manually at each new update

Use the flatpak build, but can't use screen sharing

Discord is where information goes to die

What better alternative to Discord are we all recommending at the moment, by the way? I know "almost anything else except WhatsApp or Telegram" but what's the simple three-word "use X instead" right now?

[-] popcar2@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

There aren't any alternatives that are as good or feature-rich. If you're willing to settle for less there's Revolt that's trying to be a 1-to-1 clone but is still in alpha, then there are apps based on Matrix which somehow makes using a chat app 10x harder.

Haha Vermintide was a fun game

  • 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.
