Yes, that makes security slightly worse I guess but I'd rather have all the other benefits of Wayland working for me while this one isn't working yet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 1 point 2 years ago I don't get a chance to use Wayland too much (Nvidia sadly), but I swear I had heard KDE came up with something for this. I believe it was if you use non-alphanumeric keys, it's supposed to allow it (because you wouldn't use those in say, a password). However, I can't confirm this - nor can I confirm if it'd work with Discord specifically. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Salix@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago* (1 child) If you use arch, there is discord_arch_electron which can build with the latest electron I use WebCord though I'm also annoyed with the global key issue, but for Discord, I just set a key to mute my mic system wide. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Atemu@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago This is a hack at best and might even get you banned. permalink fedilink source parent
