  • Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing

  • Also proprietary and requires a "Gamer License" to host servers for more than 32 users.

    Mumble is, and has always been, the king of voice chat apps and is completely FOSS. Also it works a lot better.

  • I find it funny that people are picking another proprietary piece of crap that, by the way, also requires a license to host servers with more than 32 users.

  • Absolutely choosing Mumble over TeamSpeak.

  • I totally agree, except also for gaming.

    Compared to alternatives, there are often lags and complete disruptions, latency is horrible, bitrate is a paid feature, and for large groups of voice channels (like managing a 500 player operation in Eve), features are still lacking.

    Also security is a joke. In Mumble, you can manage (certificate based!) permissions on every level imaginable.

    They spend their time on making silly themes and Nitro features nobody cares about.

  • I completely disagree with this and have been for years.

    It has often had connectivity issues, big lags, higher latencies and lower bitrates than Mumble or even TeamSpeak.

    It's super bloated, they churn out useless "features" so fast that it keeps making it use more resources and makes everything slower.

    Until recently, being in voice call with more than 3-4 people made all my 16 cores attempt self destruction.

    It is a freemium piece of bloatware.

  • Recommendations for torrenting with linux?

    Jump

  • If you need a daemon (to always run in the background, like on a server), use Deluge or Transmission.

    If you just need a basic client that can live in your systray, qBittorrent.

  • The benefits of using scripts over aliases

    Jump

  • I agree. My .zshrc is littered with functions. Most useful ones are my pack and extract I made ~10 years ago, they just recognize file extension and use the correct tool.

    Windows doesn't "just work"

  • I will say I had a lot of trouble with Bluetooth (bluez) on Linux, but I think it mainly comes down to the implementation. I have a cheap dongle and pairing gamepads has been a nightmare sometimes.
