- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoWhy the hell do these newfang apps not have video controls? Why isn't there a switch to turn off audio by default? I don't use ig,tiktok, snap but people around me do and its very annoying.
- zamnos 4y agoAudio on IG is off by default. it's just that the people around you like hearing the noises.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoYouTube shorts has audio on by default. Instagram has on by default unless you touch to mute it. Facebook has audio on by default. Don't know about tiktok. Its banned in India for past 3-4 years I asked around.
- pmarreck 4y agoyeah, the lack of video controls seems like an evil, perversely-incentivized design decision
- yamtaddle 4y agoGiphy. It drives me absolutely batshit crazy. I wish image-search sites (looking at you, Google Image Search) wouldn't index images served by sites that make it so very hard to get the actual image. See also: Pinterest.
- robotnikman 4y agoHalf the time with google image search, when you visit the site to view the image it isn't even on the site at all! I stumbled upon this userscript which adds the view image button back, seems to work so far https://gist.github.com/ner00/ec9ae47e202b8e99f19be44a5af6baf3 https://gist.github.com/ner00/ec9ae47e202b8e99f19be44a5af6ba...

- penjelly 4y agoi wrote a script that rips IG bookmarked images into a Google photo album because IG was the only place to find cool images. last time i checked it was still working. https://github.com/mcpengelly/instagram-saved-to-google-photos-album https://github.com/mcpengelly/instagram-saved-to-google-phot...
