What happened to Winstall?

The service stopped allowing groups for apps. And the collections of others are also no longer accessible... Why?

Obtain Winget for already installed applications

I have seen people use the Chocolatey or Winstall services to bulk install applications. Winstall used to allow group creation... But it won't anymore, so I need a way to collect all the installed apps into a list of winget commands so I can just run it or schedule it every now and then to check for updates...

Any good free, open source UWP Windows apps?

Looking to replace most of the Microsoft garbage with functional, native, good-looking apps. Already using FluentWeather, FluentCast, Screenbox, Wino Mail, Unigram, AniMoe (Anilist client)... Wanted Windows to ID Fluetro PDF as a PDF app, but for some reason that isn't happening... Any other suggestions are also welcome...

What's up with Epic Games?

I can't seem to find that one comment explaining the issue with them... But for the sake of promoting conversation on Lemmy, what's the issue with Epic, and why should I go for Steam or GoG? Note: Piracy is not an answer. I understand why, and do agree to a certain extent... But sometimes, the happiness gained by playing something from a legitimate source is far greater 🥹... coming from someone who could never ever afford to purchase games, nor could my parents... Hence I've always played bootleg, or pirated games. TL;DR What's wrong? * Their launcher has a terrible UI AND UX. * They make exclusive deals with studios to prevent other platforms from getting games. (Someone mentioned that Steam did the same thing in their infancy. Also, I have another question; why is it ok for Sony and Microsoft to make exclusive games for their consoles but not ok for these PC platforms to do so?) * They have been invested in by a Chinese company, Tencent. (Someone mentioned that it isn't that big of a deal, but idk.) * They are actively anti-linux for some reason.

I have some questions about the Fediverse

This [post](https://lemmy.ca/post/11771031) at the top of the community homepage explains and answers all of my issues. 1. The idea of the Fediverse is that you can fed with and defed from any instances as an instance moderator, OR just block a particular instance on a personal level. Right? If yes, then why is Threads fedding up being viewed as such a big issue? I am not saying I like it. I'm just wondering what the actual issue is and what the real threat is that they pose? I read some comments saying that if Threads feds up, then they could pull the numbers and this gain some sort of majority that would lead to a control over the Fediverse... But, isn't the point of the Fediverse that people can just stay away from an instance if they don't like it and still interact with the people? 2. Also, our posts on any instance are public. So even if we defed from a particular instance, wouldn't our posts still be accessible? I read that Threads can access our information. The publicly available information on the Fediverse is mostly just usernames and the posts we make. That's available regardless of them wanting it, right? I'm looking to understand the issue, not spark a fight. Please. Let's talk it over and not start being asses. Remember, a different opinion isn't the end of the world.

What DID Apple innovate?

Genuine question. I know they were the scrappy startup doing different cool things. But, what are the most major innovative things that they introduced, improved or just implemented that either revolutionized, improved or spurred change? I am aware of the possibility of both fanboys and haters just duking it out below. But there's always that one guy who has a fkn well-formatted paragraph of gold. I await that guy.

Is there such a thing as too much privacy?

This isn't meant to start a war in the comments. I have been thinking... Platforms that advertise encryption and unmatched privacy have almost always been used by bad actors that ruin it for everyone else. This leads to some sort of middle ground being set up that ends up being further from privacy than we'd like it to be. I see the benefits of both situations, and am left wondering if we can even survive as a society if we were to have absolute privacy. Any thoughts are appreciated. Edit: I'm asking how we can navigate this conundrum in order to reach a common ground where we do NOT have to give up our precious privacy in exchange for security. Nothing else. I'm sorry if my post didn't reflect that.

Will USI products ever become as responsive and/or as feature packed as the S-Pen?

I always wonder... Samsung has been in this for a long, long, LOOOOONG time and they're essentially the Gods of smartphone styluses (stylii?). So, would we ever see such a level of integration?

Thank You devs.

We are currently in an age where a large portion of open source apps are actively maintained, users understand more about open source than ever before and open source software is almost as good, if not better, than their proprietary counterparts. This is just a huge thank you to anyone and everyone involved in the making and maintaining of open source software. As a regular tester, I do my best to provide any feedback I can to make your vision come to fruition.

What's this icon do?

When creating a post, I saw this button. What's it do?

Thunder App ElPussyKangaroo • Now • 100%

Requesting "Search within Community" and "Edit post"

1) I'd like to be able to search for something (a word, a user, a time frame, whatever) by hitting an obviously positioned search button. Ideally, a persistent search button that, based on context, will change to searching withing a post's comments, a community's posts or Lemmy entirely based on what's on screen, would be super cool! Like, search in comments when a post is opened, search for posts when community page is opened, and search for communities, posts and/or users for the universal search on the main feed. 2) The ability to edit a post after posting it. I posted on the Haruhi community on lemmy.world, but could only edit to update links via Liftoff. Thunder doesn't have that as of now, I guess.

Community Subscription button needs to be easier to access

The button is too far up, plus it's kinda hard to tell what it is until you've tapped on it. I suggest a larger button, like the "New Post" button at the bottom. It can be either vertically below that Info button, or maybe both of them shifted below the header(?). That would make it more Material-ly and more UX friendly too. Themks.
