Community rules (click to expand)

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
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 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.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    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. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    It's a web app, you don't really need a native application for it.

    I just use discord via the browser. Why would I allow it to harvest my data as an app?

    [–] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Because the desktop app works without having your phone around, if I remember correctly. It's a relatively recent feature.

    Why do you need your phone around for the web version?

    [–] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    The web version isn't a standalone client like Signal, which registers as an additional device with e2e. WhatsApp web communicates with the WhatsApp app, so it doesn't work if the phone isn't connected to the internet (in early versions it had to be the same network, if I remember correctly).

    I believe WA introduced a feature which allowed the desktop app to function standalone like Signal. Signal Desktop adds a second device with it's own keys, so contacts send automatically messages to two devices. I'm not sure if it works the same for WA, and if they even have the feature. I don't have a compatible desktop.

    I never mentioned whatsapp, I don't use it

    [–] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

    Oopsie. Seems like I missed discord in your comment. I thought you were talking about WhatsApp.

    [–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    The Windows-only app is way better. You can make calls for example.
