I think we’re getting a lot of pictures for !pbsod@lemmy.ohaa.xyz

I think it’s not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they’ll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.

They integrated AI chat which is using OpenAI technology. So they’re paying for ChatGPT API instead of spending this money on trees? And doesn’t running generative AI consume a lot of electricity?

I don’t see regular Opera being used, but often Opera GX. Their marketing is so powerful, and those edgy features attract gamers.

I was always curious why is it called Incognito or Private mode? Temporary or Guest session would make more sense: “You’ve entered a Temporary session. Your browsing history and cookies will not be saved.”

Codeberg and other alternatives are used by 2 people, if not more. If a repo is hosted on such unpopular service, potential contributors must register a new account. This is very frustrating if you want to report just one issue or make one pull request. Self-hosted repos are even worse.

This problem can be solved by implementing federation. GitLab, Gitea and Forgejo already working on it, but really slow.

As far as I know, some clients have ability to add instances and you can view its local feeds without logging in

Nitro ads? It’s 1 very minor ad when you launch the app. Then there’s no more ads.

Recently I launched Discord on desktop and got big splash screen screaming about new shop items. Earlier, I’ve got constant popups about new nitro perks, new avatar decorations, new app icons.

Not as good as forums? Bull. I get an answer to my question immediately on discord. I may never find the answer to my question by sifting through dozens of pages of forum posts of someone having a similar but not congruent problem to mine.

You may get an answer immediately, but this answer will be lost after some messages. Someone with the same question may ask it again instead of searching. People in chat may get tired to answer over and over. On forums you have one question 10 years ago and answer to it. No need to ask again.

Can’t find information? Discord has integrated forums with a search feature in each server.

Discord’s internal search is very limited, not as good as Google. Discord is very hard to archive, so at some point information will be lost.

Bloated? How so? You have an inbox and you have your list of servers on the left hand side.

If you have many servers, you’ll get many notifications and new messages badges. You’ll also have many useless channels, which you need to manually mute or hide.

it’s because discord doesn’t have E2E encryption and yall wanna discuss some naughty shit.

I don’t really think encryption is mandatory for every chat app, it has some problems with transferring messages to other devices. If you’re working on some project, you probably don’t want it to be leaked, so you’ll encrypt your messages.

I would prefer swiping left to show info

This may be more intuitive for newcomers. Matrix has something similar (matrix.to). It tells you that you want to open a chat and provides a list of apps. You can get inspiration from here.
