Yes, I have tabs on the left and sidebar opens on the right.
"And I've got the instructions to drive a wedge between long-standing allies for my puppetmaster. I'm doing the dividing so he can (try to) conquer."
Upvoted it. The inability to use a sidebar (local LLM chat) on the other side with vertical tabs or at all when using sideberry together with their changed stance on selling user data made me move to Zen browser.
Fellow Russian puppets got each other's backs.
Good choices. Another one to consider : Beyerdynamic
While Zen's soft and round rendering looks nice on some fonts or sites, some other fonts or contrast scenarios look horrible. Especially some (demi-)bold text or headings are coarse.
A quick search shows I'm far from the first person to notice. This community however has no info on it yet, so here we go.
Below is a compilation of setting recommendations I found in posts and bug reports about font rendering issues in Firefox in general and Zen specifically. I suggest playing around to see what works best for you.
The only setting that's a must:
- Go to about:config
- Accept the risks and continue. You daredevil!
- Search for "rounded"
- Double-click zen.view.experimental-rounded-view to set it to false
I also use this one:
- Search for "font_rendering"
- gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode set to 5
These are found in many recommendations, but really are about preference more than anything:
- gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.bold_simulation to 2
- gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false
- gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.cleartype_level to 100 (default -1 appears to have logic on when to enable/disable)
- gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.enhanced_contrast to 50 (default -1 is 100)
I used these at first but noticed these are really hit or miss depending on the site you're on. The last two options can mess up (thin) fonts when transparency is involved, like when transparent gradients are used to fade out text.
What I mean is the whole threats of tariffs thing is distracting people from the hollowing out of the government and checks / balances that make it a democracy. Removing protections against and sanctions on Russia. Pouring all the goodwill and trust on the stage of world politics down the drain. Who stands to benefit from an isolated US and infighting within NATO?
All distractions and creating confusion... stop listening to what he says and start paying attention to what he and the people he appointed do and who benefit from it.
So you deliberately shoot yourself in the foot and then start complaining it hurts when you walk?
Thanks for that tip. Not looking for per se, but I just don't want overly restrictive filtering on what is considered NSFW (a bit of skin, gore, medical cases). I'm not going to browse Lemmy on a work device anyway.
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to directly address my findings. All in all I like what I see here so far! Getting acquainted with all the concepts will probably take some time. Most are familiar, but also worded/implemented slightly different. Then there's the diverse front-end (Web)Apps which also add different behaviours. I hope me sharing these findings doesn't come across as complaining; trying to help spot possible improvements / testing if it's me or the app.
For the Photon front-end, you should be able to turn on blurring in the user settings for NSFW marked content. It should use the same settings you have in your account for this
Well, visibility is enabled in my account (API only?) settings, but there's no blur or hide until clicked option there. Within the app-specific settings of m.lemmy.zip I have enabled the blur option... but no blur is applied. I can replicate the same on desktop (Zen browser).
This together with the low thumbnail quality compared to the other web-apps you offer, made me switch to t.lemmy.zip So I'm glad there's choices :-)
Can’t say I’ve experienced the lagging on scrolling either.
I think it's related to that hovering dock for navigation. It's jittery while scrolling, but the whole screen feels like <30fps during a scroll move.
Ideally we’d like to hide the communities from the /all feed but still allow people to search for and interact with them if they want.
I agree. That's indeed the desired or expected behaviour, but I can live with expanding my subscriptions and using to the 'subscribed' listing. I do like browsing 'all' from time to time to break out of the bubble so to speak. Also there, blocking individual communities sounds like a one-time investment and something I can live with.
Hi! I joined Lemmy.zip in search of an European / non-US alternative to r/. I heard about Lemmy via one of the several Buy European / European alternatives community posts. While signing up for the .world instance it urges you to have a look at less generic instances that might match your interest. That's when I found you. I game from time to time, work in IT (architecture) and have a broad personal interest in understanding the 'How' behind technology. Lemmy.zip sounds like a good match!
While getting settled and trying all the different web apps I have observed:
- All the different front-ends (a. /m. /t.) require a new login, this feels a bit strange while you are on the same domain.
- The mobile m.lemmy.zip (photon), while looking pretty has a few issues:
- The setting to blur NSFW thumbnails does not work, they show unblurred. Other apps (e.g. Tesseract) do blur.
- Scrolling through the feed on Firefox (Android) is very jerky with a lot of 'hickups' going back up for a fraction of a second while scrolling down.
- While I'm not opposed to seeing content in posts that could be considered NSFW, I'm not particularly looking for it or communities focussed on it. Turning(/leaving) visibility on however floods the 'all' feed with (bot)posts from porn-related communities. Is there a way to leave NSFW visibility on, without seeing those communities recommended in the feed?
So far I prefer t.lemmy.zip for mobile (Firefox) and a.lemmy.zip for desktop (Zen browser).
