      HOLY FUCK

      This person on the internet gives a shit! Going back to your webshit browser only adds .25 seconds on tiling and .5 on floating. So much time to do useful stuff, like playing your games with strangers on the interwebs!

      Also

      Linux didn’t have the most basic voice chat function up to now??? :O

      WHO the actual FUCK submitted voice chat to the Linux mailing list? Was it some @redhat.com guy again? Or was it some LLM owned by Broadcom? Torvalds accepts anything at this point, he got the AI psychosis. Oh, you are talking about Discord, and specifically the .deb files from their website people fuck with to run, only to have another copy of Chromium? Holy fucking shit.

      It was an issue with Wayland. Before that we had X11, where global shortcuts wasn’t an issue.

        They were an issue because it was the wild West and any app could keylog any other app and respond to anything. Now we actually have UX around this.

              We didn’t lost shortcuts to everything. It’s only about global shortcuts, all other still work. And given the Wayland global shortcuts are now functional and officially supported, its not the same situation anymore. The difference to iPhones is, that you cannot do anything about it on iPhone. On Wayland however desktops environments such as KDE, GNOME and Hyperland could implement a custom variant (or the draft version of the portal) and have it functional; it was just not a standard.

              So no, the situation is not entirely comparable. We are not at mercy by one single company.

          You know that the Wayland portal for global shortcuts took 10 years discussions before they finally settled in, right? Off course it is to blame the Wayland devs (those responsible for this portal), not Discord.
