The developer team at Discord released a new engineering blog post yesterday (December 8th) detailing lots of fixes, along with some Linux improvements. As one of the most popular chat apps in the world, it’s good to see their support of Linux continue to get better over time.
This is exactly why I like Discord.
If I’m online and not playing a game, I want my friends to see that I’m online so they can message me.
If I’m playing a game, I want my friends to know I am playing that game.
If it’s a multiplayer game, they can join in.
If it’s a single player campaign focused game, they know I won’t be keen to play a multiplayer game right now, but they can still message me if something big and spontaneous is happening.
If I don’t want to be contacted at all, I close discord.
I love that feature too! But I think it’s really dangerous in the current implementation when you can’t be sure what data they’re taking from your computer.
Thats what steam is for.
What about non-steam games or discord game invites?
You can launch non-steam games through steam. As for discord game invites… dunno, litterally never use that.
