  • Some awful domain parker yoinked photon.app and i'll forever hold a grudge against all domain parkers

  • Seeing so much AI generated content shared to me by my parents, online in reviews, in my curriculum in school, and in comments has taken such a toll on my brain that I can recognize it immediately despite rarely using ChatGPT

  • When developing photon I always end up with more issues on chrome browsers than firefox. and half of those are because of its god awful scrollbar. Please use an overlay scrollbar instead of shifting the stupid page around, chrome.

  • The way I choose my icons for Photon is I kinda just scroll the list of my library and pick one that fits.

  • Use xdg-ninja to help clear out unwanted files not in your home folder, and give tips to move them into a normal folder like .config

  • That's an option. You can change the thumbnail alignment to the left, then use compact instead of list mode. OP is using bad settings.

  • Hi everyone, I'm the dev. Reading all these comments really hurts when it's something you've poured your heart and soul into for over a year.

    There's reasons I do everything I do in this UI, and my primary goal is to make Lemmy accessible for everyone.

    This is the "cozy" view as well, but there's a "compact" view for people like me who enjoy more information density. Again, my end goal is to make Lemmy accessible. I don't do this for the sidebars for convoluted reasons I won't get into.

    I'm not the one trying to advertise it, and I've never really tried to because of the fear of disapproval. I think I should advertise it myself now because then I can showcase the best parts and not get misunderstood. This screenshot uses the "list" view, imo the worst one, with some cursed chrome scrollbars.

    Now that I see that the majority of users believe this sucks, I'm not sure if my mission is worth it or if I'm even doing it right.

    I'm probably being too sensitive to criticism which I should expect from any project. But this project is the only one I used to feel proud of, then people chiming in claiming it's the ugliest thing they've seen. I don't know im blind to design which is the only thing I considered myself "good" at in terms of web dev.

  • i'm pretty confused why people here understandably hate DRM, monopolies, and billionares, but are fine with steam and Gaben

  • I need to add language settings to communities and profiles. I really dislike how lemmy handles this though.

    If you change it in lemmy-ui, it will propagate to Photon because it's an account wide setting.

  • Photon seems to have a semantic layout that firefox detects as settable into reader mode.

  • Hey how did you get my world 😡😡

  • Can confirm. AAAAAAAAAAAAA (peaked 39c today)

  • Why not?

  • Same happens for me on gboard.

  • Photon has complete moderator capabilities, what's missing?

  • Photon is available for any instance at https://phtn.app.

    Alexandrite is available for any instance at https://alexandrite.app.

    I don't like when instances will host photon for anything other than the default interface, as then it's just a more limited, outdated version of photon and another point of failure.

  • I dont know if youtube has h264 support

  • It could be that it's playing in a codec that your mobile browser doesn't support like av1 or something. Not sure though, is this happening with every video?

  • Can it auto detect when a website supports dark theme? Otherwise I noticed that it will ruin the colors of sites already in dark theme
