Quoting: EikeWell, I do. What's missing in your opinion and what would you make of it?

Quoting: Liam DaweI'm not sure either how it was confusing.

i just said it was useless. there is no point in representing the +75% with an arbitrarily sized bar and nothing to compare it to . i can say 'today i ate 10 more pies than yesterday' and show you this



or i could show you this one



what do any of those really do for you ? or i could just show you nothing and you still know that i ate 10 more pies than yesterday.

yo what a useless bar graph. what they said was enough

The results were very promising: we saw a 75% increase in the number of unique games visited, and a 48% increase in the average visits per game

the bar doesnt show anything and without any labels other than +75% we dont know what to make of it

its not just about the desktop client. i dont use discord for the same reasons i dont use facebook or any social network. discord is worse because to get a 'better experience' you have to install their program on your computer (and phone?). im cautious enough using steam already. dont need another social network company to worry about. i am also bothered by 'join my discord server'. yo its not a server and it aint yours. people dont say 'join our irc server at #gamingonlinux'.

whenever i'm playing a game someone inevitably asks me to talk to them through discord. my answer is: i use mumble. we can use that. if not, then lets just use the in game voice chat which we both are already guaranteed to have. plus its built in so nothing to do other than enable it. yet no one wants to do this. why the insistence on using discord?

It is the same as managing your own mail server. It's a lot of work to do but your data is yours.

i disagree that it's a lot of work, and barely even comparable to email server maintenance. this release of mumble is the first major release in 10 years. that means you couldve had 1.2 running for 10 years and only applied a patch every 3-4 months. you basically install it, configure it (defaults are pretty good), and forget about it. your OS maintenance would be more work than mumble maintenance.
