I guess I've always been the person who likes UI change, I find it exciting to see that kind of thing. I know a ton of people will hate this, but I personally like it. The Android 12 quick settings menu looked awful to me, white straight next to black. Blur is overdue.

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.

If there's an epic games game you want but don't want to use the epic launcher or you're on Linux, Heroic Games launcher id a good choice

That's a good point, i didn't consider the value of the content it creates

to play devil's advocate, from reddit's view those third party apps were just using server resources and making them no money.

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.

Photon technically has it but you need to use your own libretranslate instance since I'm not paying for that.

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?
