This summary seemed pretty good though.

Doing the lord’s work, thank you.

That’s me, except the anxiety is about not wanting the cat to come to me. But somehow that kind of anxiety attracts them.

Theory: animals can sense your allergies.

Yeah, I realise a comment like this is mostly unhelpful (switching distros is a pain, of course - even just the hassle of moving over your data), but it does remind me how glad I am that I did it at some point. Painless upgrades are amazing.

(That said, it’s not entirely risk-free; although I never got an unworkable system, at some point upgrades were blocked until I did some manual work. Universal Blue had similar issues.)

I think “the Fediverse” is generally understood to refer to ActivityPub-based projects, or even more narrowly, “things that can be seen from Mastodon”. At least I understood it as such, even if that’s not technically correct.

Especially if it’s just another alpha release. They could have 20 more of those, for all I know.

Yes: https://chat.mozilla.org

I think you might be overestimating how much code is contributed by unpaid volunteers…

Ah, gotcha.

Gnome itself is actually not bad. It has a full screen menu and arrangeable application icons and folders, but I cannot group them the way I want, let alone resize them.

I don’t think resizing is an option, but isn’t it possible to drag one app’s icon on top of another app’s icon to create a group?

Who’d have thought!

Heh fair enough.

I think a challenge is that lots of site show ads or links to other articles in the middle of the text, which is not what you want to end up in reader mode.

Funny how people were interpreting the survey itself as a way to pretend that everybody wanted AI even when they didn’t - yet somehow it was possible that it didn’t end up in the top 10 😅

(Also understandably, this won’t be 1:1 the roadmap, for the caveats they mentioned in the post. Still helpful!)

As expected, nobody cares about “reader mode”.

Whaaat? Reader mode is fantastic! I feel like everyone who knows about it, loves it, it’s just that few people know about it.

Edit: ah, it’s top 10, so actually one of the most popular features.

It’s not like the baby really cares. Moving colourful stuff that makes a sound, what more could you want?

It’s a great start, but needs some tweaking. Which I’m hoping is possible; there are a lot of cases where it’s exactly what I need, and a bunch of cases where I don’t want it, but I’m not sure whether it’s possible to reliably distinguish those two cases. (e.g. I don’t need it for music videos on YouTube, but for NotJustBikes videos it’s great.)

Two realistic things that it really needs (and that I’m sure will come) are:

1. The ability to disable it for a single video (i.e. if it PiPs up, pop it back down without pausing the video), and
2. Activate when the window loses focus/gets covered by another window.

tl;dr Sounds like a feature I would sometimes want.

No that was a different poll. This one asked “do you want ‘enhanced privacy’ or a chatbot in the sidebar” which, of course, is a false dichotomy.

Presumably this one’s less work, so even with them being worked on at the same time, no real reason to hold back the one that’s done sooner. But apparently you can try out tab groups already: https://lemmy.ml/post/20000489

For the use cases you describe actually sound right on the mark? If you’re viewing a page and you want something summarised on there, it would be nice to not have to leave that page, but to stay in its context, for example. If you’re looking at the specs of a particular phone, ditto.

(I don’t expect I’ll use this feature myself, but if I did, it sounds like I’d use it in that way. Luckily, I can just choose not to use it without any downsides.)
