Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Stop using Discord. If you're choosing Discord over a good Matrix client like Sable because of minor frictions, your choosing your own convenience over the lives of other people.
Making the change is isn't some huge lifestyle transition. It's just using a decentralised method to achieve the exact same thing.
Meh, I already have a global mute shortcut. I have a keyboard shortcut for this script I found somewhere that toggles mic audio capture in ALSA.
#!/bin/bash
mic_on=$(amixer get Capture | grep '\[on\]')
if [ "$mic_on" = "" ] ; then
amixer set Capture toggle && paplay /usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo/device-added.oga
else
amixer set Capture toggle && paplay /usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo/device-removed.oga

This will mute all applications. While a workaround for your setup, on other use cases it wouldn't work if the user wants to mute a specific application only.
When I need to check something on Discord I do it with a browser anyway, I tried installing it on linux but every time I would run it I would get a demand to manually install a new binary because there was an update, and I don't want it having that level of access to my computer anyway.
FINALLY
AT LAST
too little, too late
Wow and to think I could have gone without knowing that and that it would have had absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever. Crazy. Makes you think. About burritos or something. Certainly not about Discord on Linux though.
How do you even release a voice chat app without push-to-talk capability?
TIL Discord has voice chat
