Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
On Discord, the GIF button just sends a Tenor link to the chat.
Discord displays this by hiding the link (a recent change) and displaying the GIF in video format due to the server-generated URL preview embed (embed type: video). Link: https://discord.com/channels/1160893336324931584/1160894080998461480/1195587910817300540
Matrix displays this as a link with a URL preview where the URL preview does not animate because Synapse's thumbnailer sucks. Link: https://matrix.to/#/!TqlyQmifxGUggEmdBN:cadence.moe/$hwUkiPp0w2JNXwGdg2Rt07DoZPup8b34s0C6az4izeg?via=cadence.moe&via=matrix.org&via=conduit.rory.gay
(But who knows, maybe Synapse will get a better thumbnailer soon...)
Then, OOYE sees Discord's server-generated video embed, and bridges the video embed to Matrix as well, but this doesn't look very good at all. Link: https://matrix.to/#/!TqlyQmifxGUggEmdBN:cadence.moe/$VAk5MSNGlfopAlCmyYXgfcJtngSadxKoBXkpoFSia7s?via=cadence.moe&via=matrix.org&via=conduit.rory.gay
IDEAL: Matrix users should just see something animated. We should add a special case for Tenor URLs to do the right thing.
This is mostly fixed with better video embed rendering, but it would still be better if it was less verbose.
