I used Ecosia for a few months last year, but it really struggled with more niche topics and searches in Hungarian. Also it kept re-enabling the AI search every other day, no matter how many times I disabled it. So in the end I switched to noai.duckduckgo.

yeah, this is what usually makes me redo the search with google (and/or liberally use double quotes)

The article doesn’t load images for me, so here’s the photo from an archived copy:

Greater stability of this feature, maybe?

Lemmy may have significantly fewer features but in many ways it comes across as being significantly more polished .

Tbh that’s not surprising, looking at PieFed’s development priorities 😅 (emphasis mine)

Desired quality attributes

These attributes have been given a score out of 5 to indicate their importance.

• Performance 4/5
• Scalability 2/5
• Agility 5/5
• Reliability 1/5
• Security 2/5
• Testability 0/5
• Modifiability 5/5
• Affordability 5/5
• Manageability 5/5

Name them please, I’m desperate for ideas here.

Not sure if these are already addressed in PyLova, but some of my PieFed pain points are the notification page UI (namely the collapsed content previews and unintuitive mark as read buttons), and the lack of proper support for emoji (no shortcode suggestions like Lemmy/GitHub/etc. has, and the manual picker is unsearchable and missing many newer ones).

Not enforced by my work, but Photoshop is honestly the least painful to replace. I’m having a lot more trouble finding fully featured alternative to InDesign and Illustrator. Scribus looks pretty rough and Inkscape has an unintuitive UI and no proper CMYK support.

Need Adobe software for work. Want to play online games that have anti-cheat. Also like to run mods in my games.

I have a shitty old laptop for travelling that I’ll try to install Linux on this weekend, since I only need Firefox on that.

I like what Obsidian does in this regard - yes, it’s a web app, but it also lets you style it with CSS like a website, giving users a mindblowing amount of flexibility in how their specific Obsidian looks ✨

(and it’s always fun to see what pretty/weird styles others use xd)

otoh the browser lets me block ads, while apps don’t (unless I use AdGuard or similar)

e.g. youtube is only tolerable in browser

I saw similar when looking for work as a graphic designer, with duties that can be summarised as “design our printed materials, build our website (with JavaScript knowledge required), and also plan our marketing strategy”.

Then when I mentioned this in a Clients from Hell comment section, I got someone defend the practice with that small companies can’t afford to hire separate people for the 3 separate skillsets…
