Would like someone to help me create a Discord alternative

are you planning on actually organizing a team to do any of this? or is this just another "cool mockups and ideas" thread? I would like to organize a team, but since it's gonna basically be volunteer work for something that will/will soon be open source, I don't think I could do too much.

Would like someone to help me create a Discord alternative

BokeeXD(aka XP user) wrote: 16 May 2021, 20:51 That would be a great idea,making it run on Windows XP if possible.
I did imply that. One of the drafts mentioned the web client potentially working on Firefox 38 and Chrome 48, and mentioned the light client potentially working on 2k and 9x with KernelEx.

Though lower is always better.

Would like someone to help me create a Discord alternative

I posted this on r/discordapp, and it didn't work out too well. I've had this idea for a while, long before the current redesign. I know there's plenty of alternatives, but most of them aren't as easy to use or work as well as Discord. I would like to change this. I have the means to host a Discord ...

The few problems I have on 7 are that whenever I alt tab to anything and go back in to the game, my game FPS is around 10-25 FPS for a few seconds then it goes back up to 60. This also happens when I get that "You need to restart to install updates" pop up. I know its 100% a Discord issue...

Windows Vista vs. Windows 7 speed

There's a reason it seems to like RAM more than 7: it was built more on the 'unused RAM is wasted RAM' philosophy which is certainly feasible on higher end devices especially now, though at the time Vista came out most people were stuck on 768MB/1GB single core econoboxes and couldn't make much use...

Kouto wrote: 14 May 2021, 00:39 Isn't that the normal Discord font in the first place that you're replacing, making this more or less 'how to replace the font if you don't like the default one', which admittedly looks arse?

Vista appears to boot slower on my laptop, but I don't think I'll find any other differences unless I timed the two.

You could upgrade to the 8770W's "successor", the zBook. Vista will be a bit fucked because Haswell, but it should have everything needed.

You could also try going for a Skylake and Pascal laptop, but do your research and make sure it allows you to disable Optimius before buying.

So, if I did this right, I should have moved this topic to the Vista category. while also leaving a link to it in the browsers category. Thought the topic would be more relevant and have better reach here.

If you've ever used Discord on Vista with Firefox, one of the first things you'd notice is that the font is kinda scuffed. 4's and E's are missing a line and there are other odd looking characters, however, I've found a fix for this. How to apply the fix: If you're using Waterfox Classic or older us...

Could always just blast 60 quid on a banged out ex-business Dell OptiPlex 390 SFF and load Windows Vista/7 on it, they make great dual boot and emulation machines too. :P
Or just main 7 with a 10 VM.
Iris Heart is Windows 10
IF is the VM
