  • Fair enough. It’s nice to have something that just works out of the box and doesn’t need much configuration, for sure.
    And even though most points you have mentioned are actually doable in OBS, they need additional setup/configuration or a plugin. But I personally don’t mind that, and in most cases I prefer that, especially granular configuration of video settings.














  • Take those graphs with a grain of salt. There are several websites that track activity and all of them show different results. I also assume that almost every lemmy update affects these graphs, since things did break quite a few times.

     

    This is from the official lemmy site join-lemmy. It says 820 Servers, 41k Active users

    This is from fedidb (same site the screenshot from the post comes from). 923 Servers, 39,832 Active Users and 433,819 Total Users

    Then we have fediverse.observer. Based on that graph, monthly active users are growing. 845 Servers and 43,631 Active users and 1,944,442 Total Users

    And finally we have lemmyverse. Which uses the method to find the “sus” servers and users, so 863 Servers and 1,741,848 Actual Users

    To me personally it seems like the content is becoming more regular and better in quality overall. ¯_(ツ)_/¯









  • I’m not the OP, but Vivaldi has been my main browser for many years now.
    The reason why some people like Vivaldi is the same reason why other people dislike it. It has a lot of additional features and customization options that other browsers don’t. You may find that cool (e.g., people who used old Opera), or you may dislike it, because “I just want a browser to open web pages.”

    But anyways…here are some features that I really like and I miss in other browsers:

    • Highly customizable shortcuts, gestures and command chains (macros) I use mouse gestures a lot, and on Firefox I had to install an extension to get that feature. Also one tiny feature that I love in Vivaldi, that I really miss in other browsers is to switch tabs by scrolling mousewheel while the cursor is over the tab bar.
    • Easy way to add custom search engines (I assume other browsers have this too, but I know that on Firefox it’s a little bit longer process to make one)
    • Many ways to organize tabs (stacking, grouping, renaming tab groups…)
    • Tab tiling (arranging opened webpages in a single window, good for comparing stuff or multitasking)
    • Mail client and RSS feed reader (not very polished but it’s still convenient)
    • Workspaces (good for separating tabs, e.g., work, shopping, entertainment…)
    • Simple markdown notes (you can access them quickly from a side panel, and u can quickly add selected text from a webpage by right clicking the text and add to note)
    • Customizable menus (e.g., customizing options that are presented in the right click context menu)
    • Quick commands (it’s like a command palette from which you can search history, bookmarks, run commands, do simple calculations, etc.) you could in theory make your browser UI-less and just use the Quick commands.

    Those are just some of my favorites but there is a lot more…And almost all of these additional features you can disable selectively if you wish to do so.
