• Too many Mac apps are being built with Electron

  That argument would hold more power if there wasn't an existing native client for Slack and Discord, made by one person, with all the features I needed, working with absolutely no lag and minimal resource use, working on MacOS, Linux, Windows. Unfortunately the development stopped, or I'd still use it. https://cancel.fm/ripcord/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Recommendations for an alternative native chat client? (Slack, Discord)

  Https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ Used it before, worked OK. Now I use Matrix, so I don't need it anymore. Neat trick: AppImages are squashfs compressed filesystems, so they can have slow startup etc. Fix this with ./app.AppImage --appimage-extract, find the binary in the created folder and run that one instead, so that you pay the decompression cost only once. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Recommendations for an alternative native chat client? (Slack, Discord)

  Not sure if it still works (or will continue to work) but this might be what you're looking for: https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ I've also had fairly good results using gtkcord4, though it takes it little finagling to get up-and-running: https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• A Slack clone in 5 lines of bash

  There are a bunch of features in slack beyond the core chat stuff, like: 1. Being connected to multiple communities and switching between them instantly this can be of course simply replaced by connecting to different servers in a tabbed terminal and use the terminal's built-in cmd-1/2/... shortcut, which happens to be the same as in slack. 2. Meta data about others, like their timezone or how to pronounce their... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• I’m having some cpu performance issues and I’m wondering whether if it’s time to upgrade? Using a 2017 MacBook Pro 13inch.

  All three of these are web browsers (slack and vscode are built on electron) that are notoriously RAM-hungry. If you don't want to buy new hardware, switching to using the slack web-app or using a third party client like Ripcord will remove one of those browsers, and using an IDE that isn't a web browser would take out another. You may also find that another browser like Firefox uses less memory than Chrome. Source: about 1 year ago

• I (24M) am unsure how confidence will fix my non-existing dating life.

• Anyone willing to play Badminton this Saturday?

  It is a pain to find a proper badminton community here in Budapest. In other cities, all you needed to do is search up on google and then you are immediately greeted by a bunch of badminton-loving people online. Although there are, some niche and quite hidden badminton meetup groups such as the two large groups on meetup.com, however, the users there are not made to be active and you cannot host meetup events on...

• after 2 years of living in CT, I have made not one in-road into the surrounding community

  Try going on Meetup.com and see if there are activities you and your wife would like to do. There are Meetup groups for just about any interest and you might find something new to try together. Source: 6 months ago

• I've completely failed to reintegrate into society

  My point is: keep your chin up, mate. You get what you put in, so prepare to work hard for what you want. A good place to start is to find communities centered around your hobbies. Recently I joined a community of foam blaster enthusiasts. Almost instantly I was talking the night away with some of the lads, and within days they were inviting me over to theirs for a meet and greet. Another option is meetup.com;... Source: 6 months ago

• UPDATE Friend lost out on a winning $1000 lotto ticket because of me, he's crying over money, and I don't feel guilty!

  You can also use meetup.com . It has a lot of interest groups on there. I belonged to a kick ass book club from that site for years before moving. Source: 6 months ago
