    You can't send voice messages and videos or any type of file except for photos on Briar. I don't have a problem with that myself, but it uses a lot of battery power.

    In various jobs, AI can do the less important and easier work for you, so you can focus on the more important work. For example, you're doing some kind of research which needs a specific kind of data you have collected, but all of that data is cluttered and messy. AI can sort the data for you, so you can focus on your research instead of spending a lot of your time on sorting the data into something more understandable. Or in programming, AI can write the easy part of a program for you, and you do the harder and more important part, which saves you time.

    I don’t think it does… it doesn’t show the amount of time needed when it’s finished downloading and has started installing. It just says "installing", and that white thing starts spinning.

    If I'm not mistaken, because lemmy by default sorts comments by newest, if you comment something more users will see it, but on reddit it'll get stuck at the bottom.

    Is it just me, or the sign in option on lemmy.one doesn't work correctly? Nothing happens when I try to sign in.

    DuckDuckGo. I wanted something privacy-respecting, but Startpage was blocked in my country and SearX had problems with my language. Anyway I've heard an advertising company bought Starpage so I wont use it. Also bang shortcuts are great!

    (Also is it just me or DDG doesn't approve new bangs now?)

    A bot that would find the equivalent to a subreddit on lemmy, or correct users if they link a community incorrectly.

    I tried it... OnlyOffice and WPS office both mess up RTL text. Anyway I don't exactly trust WPS Office. I've tried the option which makes Libreoffice look like MS Office. I encountered a few problems, though, specifically with Impress. But I will switch to linux one day... I don't like windows. Too much bloatware.

    Hate to say it, but Windows 10. My laptop doesn't support Windows 11 and Microsoft Office isn't available on linux (though I think I can do it with a windows vitual machine.) Also because of other apps like Proteus and Camtasia, or I would be on linux now. (Is it just me or are linux mint packages usually outdated?)

    I found out... just a few days ago. I'm still kinda confused. One day I was browsing reddit without signing in (this was a long time ago). There was a post about a gay man. I usually search a lot of things on wikipedia, so I found an article about him, too. Having mistaken the word gay with something else, I was very confused why the article kept saying "with his husband" (I thought it was a typo or something, but it was repeated a lot of times). So, that was how I found the correct meaning of the word... and I did not like it. And I also suspected myself. I don't know when I started questioning myself exactly. My diary shows the question was there for a much longer time than I actually recall. I've reffered to it as The Am I question. Then one day, I was reading something entirely different on wikihow, but I somehow landed on the Am I Gay quiz. The answer was "you're probably straight." I wasn't sure so I opened the page that read "How to find out if you're gay." That's how I found out, and I'm sure about it. I took the quiz more carefully... the answer changed. But I do live in a country which doesn't treat LGBT people right, and I don't know what to do. Also I feel so guilty... I used to think LGBT people are bad. I couldn't have been more wrong. I understand more now, about myself and people like me. Also I understand why my idea of having a girlfriend is the same as I was 7 years old.

    Firefox. It's faster and more lightweight than chrome and has bigger fonts. I find chrome's label's eye-straining. Also it's not owned by Google or Microsoft. DuckDuckGo on mobile because I don't like the mobile version of Firefox, and I can delete all cookies using the fire button (On my laptop Cookie AutoDelete does that for me.)
