I haven't used soundboard yet, but I'm pretty sure it isn't "just" an HTML5 file upload. Perhaps it's as you said, they run checks on the file being uploaded. Maybe it will work, maybe it will crash in some use cases because they don't have a polyfill for some specific API they use. So instead of dealing with user complaints about crashes they just disabled the feature.
I'm also not sure why you're upset with Discord for implementing DRM for uploaded files. If they don't, they will get sued by the companies enforcing that DRM, so hate on those companies instead.

There's really no reason to be mad at them in this particular instance. Their client is Chromium-based (Electron) so they will optimize their new features for that engine first. There's probably less than 5% users who Discord from browser, let alone Firefox, and I think I'm being generous with that number. Additionally, some things are harder to implement (or even impossible) in native web rather than Electron, that has all the NodeJS integrations.

Sadly, I was born with uncheck outable username disorder.

One of those is not like the rest and doesn't truly deserve to be on the list – "username checks out". All the others provide absolutely no value, while "username checks out", at least, lets you notice a potential humorous situation which you might not have noticed otherwise.

Oh, then I just wasn't aware of the rhetoric that the government would care about making Nazis look bad.

What's the joke here? What's a "fed"? Is it a group of people that the middle blob doesn't like and substitutes "Nazis" with that word, which is what he complained about and that's the joke?

That's Trisha, isn't it?

On iOS, yes. It's in TestFlight, I'm waiting for a full release, other than the occasional scroll freeze, PWA is more than enough for me.

I'm also an ex-Apollo user. Memmy was my go to until I learned about Voyager. Don't even need Sync much, at this point, as this web app works for everything. If Voyager improves posting experience with rich text preview, it's simply perfect.

Seems like I'm c/OutOfTheLoop. Could you loop me back in, please?

Counter point:

Product (noun) - something that is made to be sold.

The software in question is not for sale, therefore is not a "product", and this post is not an ad.

Du hast, du hast mich, du hast mich gefragt.
I'm sorry, I don't speak german, I just accidentally walked in here and have no idea what's happening, but trying to participate.

 

Might be a stupid question, but I'm ready to receive the fatal beating. Here goes:

If I find myself in a certain post on another instance (ex.: sh.itjust.works) and my user is here, on Lemmy.world, is there a way to directly open that post from Lemmy.world instance?

I tried copy-pasting the post ID, but I soon realized that the same post will have a different ID on another instance.
