You mean they asked Claude to rewrite their app in Rust like fucking everyone else is doing rn?

    The real question is which is the greater evil, AI or electron…

    Well, right now you can use the existing web client in Firefox.

    In the future you may not.

    It looks like it might be possible to target wasm (at least GPUI can), so hopefully Discord won't kill their web client.

    If I have to use it, I'd much rather run their software in a sandboxed environment like a web browser than install a program that can then do whatever it wants with my user data.

    Well, if they kill the web client, they will lose tons of users. I am on the web client right now, since their app is not working - again. This has been a common occurence on multiple machines, with different operating systems... They really should rewrite that shit.
