1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

    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.

    why don't you all run discord from the web browser? what's the advantage?

    I don't have some objective reason personally, I just don't like web apps for 90β„… of things.

    I'm curious does the web app allow for pass-through audio devices (an audio interface) or things like voicemeeter?

    me neither, but the discord app is a webapp just as well. the difference is that it runs its own browser engine, and so uses more system memory, and that it has free access to everything in your computer (and your local network), including your files, the audio devices, and lots more information on how you use it.

    I'm not sure, I don't understand what do you mean by pass through audio devices. what do you use it for?

    [–] Kagu@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Instruments and a nice microphone. The audio interface handles both hardware side and passes the audio via USB to the PC

    [–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

    I would think that if it had access to those in the discord app, it would still be able to do so in the web browser, but now it would ask for your permission.
    I have never used such devices, but I assume that either they appear as normal audio source devices in the system, or voicemeeter makes one for them.

    at the same time its ridiculous how limited voicemeeter is regarding the number of audio devices it can handle. its an artificial limit, even in the paid version
