You raise valid points and thank you for the detailed answer. It's a shame wasm isn't hardware accelerated, is that because of security or is it simply not implemented yet? (i can google this but I'm just wondering.) I agree that being able to call on a web browser is perhaps less necessary because of the phone having to be linked anyway, but it still would be nice to have :)
Doesn't discord support video calls in the browser? Surely it cant be the e2e being the problem here? I didn't know about the WASM overhead, I always thought of it as near native but I guess that's not the case then? Websockets should work fine though right?
Well they probably could get it to work in the browser it's just that they didn't. I wonder why?!
If you want you can try OnlyOffice, it works really well as a replacement for Office. That is if you only use Word, Excel and Powerpoint. I even convinced some Windows people to use it as its free, open source, cross platform and perhaps even easier to use at this point.
For Picasa maybe digikam? It maybe isn't a perfect replacement though. You could always try to run Picasa in a VM (or maybe even wine?)
Username checks out but this standard was deprecated in the late 90s lol
I'm starting to suspect I just didn't get the joke
This definitely makes me confused. I thought their whole thing was that they were a proxy for google results??
As far as I know it is just an ffmpeg wrapper
Read just a bit further and they explain how to install from source, although I don't see why you would go through the hassle
You used that word in the original comment, I'm only quoting you, hence the quotes. I don't think there is a perfect OS, but it sure as hell isn't debloated Windows.
You're right, no one cares what other people use, but comparing a debloated Windows install with a proper Linux install is just dumb. A debloated Windows install will never be "perfect" or exist without Microsoft bullshit it literally depends on most of it. And I'm not bashing debloating of Windows here. It's a fair choice if you have to use Windows and want a bit more of a lightweight experience. Personally I use Linux to use more FOSS software, tiling window managers and having in general a better idea of how my system works. And yes you're right that that's not for everyone but all I'm saying is that there should be an option besides amputating a shitty anti-consumer OS. At this point people are comfortable using a borked version of an OS whose main business strategy has become collection of personal data.
live usb not booting is a seperate problem
