  • 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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 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.

    Zoom still doesn't work right on Wayland.

    Possibly, yet against their best efforts, their shit works better now, see the end of this comment. But first:

    I've ranted about this before, but Zoom is bone-chillingly badly written software. It's also the only piece of software that I've never seen the code of, but will make comments about code quality and development practice with 100% certainty.

    Zoom has broken for me in so many many completely insane and creative ways that the only explanation is that they have nobody keeping things in check and just an army of interns hacking away at things half-assedly until they “work”.

    If there are 3 nice and standard ways to do things that can be easily googled, Zoom does a given thing in 2 more ass-backwards ways that make no sense and are fragile as fuck. E.g. they did screen sharing using GNOME's screenshot API, at a time when every tutorial told you to use the dedicated cross-DE screencast API. When called out, they switched to a different GNOME API.

    I think at this point they finally fixed it by actually using the API people told them to use years earlier, but who knows what other inane mistakes are still there to prevent things from working.

    Hear hear. They can't keeo up though, with standards changing every 20 years or so....

    As someone who uses many of its features for job interviews on a Wayland machine, what doesn't work?

    [–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    For instance, screen sharing is broken on one of machines. It works once and then leaks the handle. Making it impossible to share again until rebooting.

    It used to crash entirely when exiting sharing and their bugfix was to swallow the exception instead of a proper fix.
