Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux’s permission prompts

    Fuck discord. Proprietary spyware. That shit isn’t getting on my computer anytime ever.

          tbh if you’re on linux there’s kind of an easy workaround

          pactl load-module module-combine-sink sink_name='Stream' slaves='easyeffects_sink'

          ^^ I have this aliased as “gamesound”

          easyeffects is great for this because it’ll just be the default sink, plus easyeffects makes your mic sound good anyway. (if you configure it for that)

          then when the game opens i set it to output to “stream” and bam i can output game audio in a stream without capturing anything else, since i’m on hyprland i can also stream just the window, discord screenshare with audio everywhere.

            Doesn’t mean it’ll be added in an open source application… There has to be a dev/some devs willing to implement that, they can’t force volunteers to implement features because of the selling value it’ll have.

        Been using matrix since forever :) But the dissing of shitty corporate centralized applications is necessary because way too many naive users still give their data away for convenience.

            That falls under convenience. Getting others to leave corporate bullshit malware and/or spyware takes effort (and I know very well how frustrating it is). Personally I refuse to use discord or FascistApp (I guess with the recent policy changes that name is warranted) etc with all the implications that it has.

            Facts, I just left discord and joined groups in matrix, and had some close associates get matrix/element to chat w me. Easy peasy
