    Wow. Amazing! I use it in a browser when I need it then close the tab when I don't, you know, like a reasonable person? I am not installing more Chromium to not only spy on me but literally also tell everyone what I am doing unless I go out of my way to opt out (the toggle will just turn back on whenever it feels like it).

    I bet they did some dumb shit like subscribe every single QWERTY 101 key.

    Wouldn't want that malware on my machine. So sick of every online community default to the shithole that is Discord.

    Discord is rolling out global...

    Goddamnit, what bullshit are they doing now?!?!

    shortcut support (e.g. Push to Talk) on Wayland for Linux users

    Oh... Well we got good news for once

    I'm so confused. I am on KDE Wayland and have been using push to talk for like a year now. What even is this?

    The ability to use push to talk while Discord is not the focused window.

    It had been working for me until it somehow didn't. Not quite sure why. I did had to setup KDE to allow global shortcuts for Discord but that no longer seems to be working for me.

    Still please don't use it to host your source code. Or to communicate critical info.

    How do you even release a voice chat app without push-to-talk capability?

    I'd recommend Stoat because they won't rape you for all the personal data they can.

    I can't imagine the venn diagram of people who still use discord and people who game on linux has that much of an overlap does it? Like cmon it's got to be the worst possible of all the options. You'd be more secure sending a plaintext email to someone.

    Most gaming communities are on Discord. I game on Linux, and we don't use Discord in my friend group, but I am still in tens Discord servers. I don't get to choose where these communities are. There are even several non-gaming-relating communities I am part of that primarily exist on Discord.

    The thing is that everyone else is on discord. So you dont have a choice

    I mean you do. I don't use it. If someone wants to use it I say I don't have it and make them use something else.

    Most of my friends discord is my only way of communication lol

    I also organize tournaments for a small community sometimes and I'm not getting all those people to install something else that does the same job but probably worse.

    This works only if you do not have many internet friends. I also really don't have an issue with discord usability wise and their ultimate implementation of age verification is practical even if I disagree with doing it at all (but it seems to be politically popular sadly).

    "people who still use Discord" is virtually everyone in my experience

    That only took a decade to get done. Good job!
