"It's already installed... as a Snap package."

"Scrape missing external link previews" is really nice and something Voyager doesn't have.

Their lifetime offers come and go, actually, because otherwise they would bankrupt themselves.

hands feel even

Strangely enough I know exactly what she meant by that. Over a decade ago I used to do this thing with words and sentences. Take the word "word", for example. W goes to the left. O goes to the right. R goes to the left and so D goes to the right. We ended on the right, so it's fine. But if we ended on the left, then I had to add another word and turn this little mental exercise into a decent sentence.

Sentences were kind of cheating, though, because even if I ended on the left then I just added a dot, which would fill a single "spot" and so make me "end on the right."

Yep. Convoluted, I know. It used to keep me up at night.

Syncing an Xbox account will also add any supported titles a member has access to via PC Game Pass

So instead of paying a Game Pass subscription and using Microsoft's app/website to stream our games, we can now pay a Game Pass and GeForce Now subscription and use Nvidia's app/website to stream our games..?

Yes I know, I know, in this case we'd be streaming the PC versions of these games and not the console versions, but is it worth it, really? There are extensions for Xbox Game Pass that allow you to use M+KB, if that's what you're looking for. I'd give this a try before subscribing to yet another service. I reckon there aren't a ton of games exclusive to PC Game Pass, right?

Not to throw shades or anything, but it released in a very buggy state. I would never have put money on Bean at this stage of development, and worst of all the sale was time limited, putting me off even more.

You know, red flags and all that. I'm not saying Bean won't end up being a great app, but when you give money to get into an Alpha well, you get what you paid for.

I'm guessing Lemmy is now converting GIFs to WEBMs to save space, then.

Trouble is, I just tried it on my end and yeah, Safari won't open it. VLC can, however. I guess it means Lemmy apps will need to add a webm library now.

Edit: just saw your edit. I'm mentioning Safari because clearly Voyager was trying to open the webm using the in-app browser and not natively. Meaning Voyager doesn't know how to deal with this format.

webm image

Those aren't images but videos. "webp" is an image format. Nowadays webms should be supported by Safari, though. Do you have a link so people can check what's going on?

The OP is TMNT, not Battletoads. Different green guys.

Half the time when I click an image link hosted on Discord, it turns out to be a dead link. I hope this new policy will help make them dead-er so people can finally stop using them. Discord isn't Imgur, Jesus.

Peertube needs to really federate if it wants a fighting chance. Having to rely on Sepia Search to find videos just won't cut it for most people.
