- Comment on What does 🥀 mean? I've seen it used online a lot recently. 13 hours ago:
In gen z, I see it mostly used as an ironic “this is sad”. It’s like how 😭 is used as a laughing emoji.
example:
“this guy really thinks that was tuff (cool) 🥀”

Forgive me if I’m being dumb… But is there a way to share a photo with my own editor, then save the result as an “edited” version of that asset? Currently if I send it to Snapseed, and save it, it will be placed in a different random folder

HTTPS can in fact be cached, and most modern browsers will do so unless given a header or something to tell it not to.

- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s very simple too. You don’t even need to extract anything from a database or do some complicated stuff. As an admin you have free access to all moderation tools no matter where the post is from, including the option to “view votes”.
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
If you’re an instance admin, for any post, you can just click “view votes” and see everything tied to usernames, even outside your own instance. Moderators can too, but it’s restricted to the communities they moderate.
- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 2 weeks ago:
Irrelevant but its funny how in English “x aren’t shit anymore” can mean it got better or it got worse simultaneously
- Comment on Did the entire server get put on Alexandrite by default, and how do I get off Alexandrite and go back to default Lemmy UI? 3 weeks ago:
photon.ani.social’s on a old version that uses a different way of lemmy’s resizing
I could potentially add an option to waste heaps of bandwidth and load full images for everything (like everyone else, including lemmy-ui) but it seems wasteful
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 1 month ago:
Not to advertise, but you could try Photon. It’s what Tesseract was forked from wayyy back as me and the tesseract dev’s philosophies split.
It’s more opinionated, and features are carefully organized compared to Tesseract where plenty of shortcuts and links are given (which isn’t bad at all, just targets different preferences).

this is a form of papyrus irony
- Comment on Which Lemmy instances use Photon? 2 months ago:
You can access Photon at phtn.app to use any instance, or selfhost.
Additionally, some instances I’d recommend that use photon are
- lemdro.id (which uses it as their primary!)
- p.lemmy.world
- photon.slrpnk.net
- Comment on Which Lemmy instances use Photon? 2 months ago:
It was forked around a year or more back I believe. They are completely different projects now imo. Photon aims for the best UX and speed, while Tesseract aims to be as feature-rich as it can.

I believe this is a form of the phenomenon Papyrus Irony

- Comment on Massive internet outage reported: Google services, Cloudflare, Character.AI among dozens of services impacted 2 months ago:
Most people who dislike cloudflare do so for their centralization of the internet, rightly so.
Me? I HATE THE STUPID “VERIFYING YOUR REQUEST” PROMPTS. THEY TAKE WAYYY TOO LONG AND DONT WORK WITH MY USER AGENT SWITCHER. STUPID WEBSITES WITH 3 MONTHLY USERS ARE TURNING ON ADVANCED “DDOS PROTECTION” JUST TO MAKE EVERY FUNCTION OF THEIR APP TAKE 18 MONTHS

- Comment on TIL: photon is an awesome opinionated web client for Lemmy to help users discover the fediverse. 5 months ago:
It means that design choices and features I implement will follow what I believe to be optimal. I still try to consider what the users think, but the overall organization will prioritize my thought. It sounds narcissistic, but other software often follows this pattern.
It’s why Photon will rarely implement random features if I deem it to be something left to another tool, because my opinion is that it should remain simple unless the feature will significantly improve the user experience.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 6 months ago:
I removed it because I don’t want my app to necessarily depend or be associated with any specific centralized external source, like MBFC. By adding it to my app, I’m implicitly supporting its use, which wasn’t necessarily my goal.
