Tab Commands Feature Rolls Out On Opera

Opera is rolling out a new Tab Commands feature that lets users manage their tabs by simply talking with Opera’s browser AI, Aria. This AI-powered feature enables users to pin, group, close, and bookmark tabs.

The users can enable Aria by pressing the Ctrl+/ or Cmd+/ and then write in their requests for Aria to act on. For instance, if a user wants Aria to close their YouTube tabs, then the users can type “Close YouTube tabs”, which Aria effectively closes their tabs. Aria can also help users organize their tabs as well. Opera’s AI can pin, close, and group tabs. This AI can even make bookmarks for the users. This makes organizing tabs less of a hassle and more convenient for the users.

Tab Commands are available for use in the Developer version of the Opera Browser. The AI behind this feature uses only the prompts provided and no other data is processed. This ensures both the security and the privacy of the users. The browser AI does not receive any information about the tabs except for the action they are meant to perform.

Tab Commands: How to use this feature

Opera states that there are two methods of accessing the Tabs Commands feature. Users can access this feature by enabling the Command Line which lets the users type in their Prompts. The users will simply have to let Aria know what it has to do and Aria follows through. When a user right-clicks a tab and then chooses the AI Tab Management option, they are presented with three choices such as “Close old tabs”, “Gourp my tabs”, and “Save my session”.

Aria also gives the users a recap of the action that was performed. It also gives users the choice of whether or not to undo the action or keep them. This is particularly useful when a user accidentally prompts Aria to close a tab that was not supposed to be closed.

swsh: An App Created by GenZ For GenZ

Yibeni Tungoe — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 04:00:00 +0000

swsh, a social media app launched in 2023, has undergone a whole new revamp. When the app debuted last year, it was originally designed as a fun app where people can play pool games with each other. However, the app has recently decided to change its whole premise while maintaining the Gen Z essence.

The app first started as an ‘icebreaker’ game app that friends can play to connect, whether in person or virtually. Users could answer up to five questions about and along with their friends. Points and Superlatives are collected based on the amount of votes they earn. The co-founder and CEO of swsh, Alexandra Debow stated that the app’s polling system was powered by ChatGPT. Weilyn Chong is the other co-founder and she is also the COO, while Nathan Ahn serves as the company’s CTO.

Now fast forward to the current year, the company has diverted the app into a shared photo album app. Although there are plenty of apps that fit this description, the company’s Gen Z features could make it stand out from the crowd. For Instance, users will be able to filter and replace Solo cups and other alcoholic drinks. This is a useful tool, particularly for young people who want to keep that side of them hidden. Additionally, users can also hide specific pictures. For instance, users can send in requests to other people if the user appears to be in an intoxicated state or they’re somewhere they’re not supposed to be.

Users can also find pictures of themselves from a collection of pictures with the help of the in-built AI facial recognition. Furthermore, the users can also choose if they want other people to view their images.

With the relaunch of swsh in February, the app also brought in a new tagging system that enabled users to allocate names to different faces which makes it easier to search. So when users don’t recall the name of a person from their college, they can just go through their saved tagged names.

X Unbanned in Brazil After Platform Pays Fine

Yibeni Tungoe — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 08:00:00 +0000

X is unbanned in Brazil after the platform paid over 28 million reais and a newly appointed local representative. The site is now operational in Brazil once again.

Brazil being one of X’s largest markets in the world, it is no wonder that X did not want to let go of the country indefinitely. There is an estimate of around 22 million X users in Brazil alone. The loss of Brazillian users on X also meant more traffic for other sites like Bluesky and Tumblr. Bluesky had logged in a record-high number of new accounts ever since X was banned in Brazil.

This ban came as a result of a legal battle between Moraes and X. Moraes had claimed that X was enabling disinformation to take place by disagreeing to ban certain profiles that were spreading false information about Brazil’s Presidential election in 2022. Musk did not see kindly to this and he fired back and called out Moraes for abusing his power and violating free speech.

Moraes had demanded that the platform should appoint a legal representative in Brazil and suspend the accounts of those spreading disinformation. However, X did not comply. But strangely enough, X later went back on this and revealed the identities of the guilty accounts.

Later on, Brazil demanded a fee of 28 million reais if the platform wanted to reinstate itself into the country. And by the looks of it, the fine has been paid. A legal representative in Brazil was also named as per the requirements made by the country. Anatel is responsible for ensuring that X returns to Brazil and its 20 million followers in 24 hours.
