Element seems to have voice and video chats in beta right now, and they plan to implement it into the Element application, so it looks like it is on the way at least.

Why not just use Matrix? I thought it was the goto FOSS and decentralized Discord alternative.

Being able to select multiple layers at the same time was a feature requested 11 years ago. Now it is finally here.

For anything non-gaming I use Linux.

For anything gaming I still use Linux.

It is probably something stupid like Nintendo having a patent for "pocket" in names, since Pokemon is "pocket monsters"

Patents in videogames should be banned.

I would happily watch ads if they were non-intrusive and non-interrupting ads like side banners that don't cause popups, or product placement inside videos.

I would also pay for a platform where 100% of the money goes to paying for hosting and paying the creators.

Neither of these things are happening, so yes, I would rather donate to support piracy.

If it happens, and you do, host it, and set up a donation box too.

At first I connected the PS4 dualshock controller to the PC via bluetooth and configured it to move the cursor similarly to how the ps4 works, but the virtual keyboard on Linux Mint kept popping up and going away randomly so I bought a mini Bluetooth keyboard with a small touch pad instead.

I did also try voice commands and it worked great, but I didn't want to carry a mic around so I never really used it.

I used to watch on ps4, but couldn't stand the ads anymore so I bought a new PC and repurposed my old PC into a Linux TV box. Now I watch freetube on my TV with no ads and no tracking.
