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.

But you can sync your database across devices using Syncthing or a cloud storage like MEGA.

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.

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.

there was one on reddit called reportsleuthbot But isn’t it a little hard to make? It might be too complex for learning python…

I tried it… OnlyOffice and WPS office both mess up RTL text.

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 (Is it just me or are linux mint packages usually outdated?)

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.)

Writing Prompts has already been created! I also really wanted to see it here. !writingprompts@lemmy.ml
