Thanks! I just prefer simple UIs.

(Screenshots resized due to not wasting too much space.

Here’s a small one of how a website would look like.

Here’s a larger one of how my new tab page looks like (including multiple tabs to show how the tab bar looks like).

So … Basically just another preconfigured Firefox with extensions?

I am so glad that I’m using an adblocker that filters out 90% of the crap. The other 10% of the crap are killed by cookie whitelist and Javascript whitelist.

They would lose likely 98% of their player base.

It’s Markdown syntax. Single newlines are ignored so the text can be styled to be 80 characters wide for example but still have it rendered with another line length while two newlines result in a new paragraph. It’s not about “space efficiency”.

To get a visible linebreak without creating a paragraph, add two spaces at the end of the line you want to break.

hello↵
↵
this is the first line␣␣↵
this is the second line↵
↵
more text here

… results in this:

hello

this is the first line
this is the second line

more text here

(Actual rendering depends on your renderer.)

Or just yolo it, if you have some money to burn.

tldr:

“Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus,” the dish description from Sikar’s Royal Roll Express restaurant reads. “Common in childhood.”

A misreading of the dish name in question — “Chicken Pops” — could well explain why an AI may have spat out a description for what sounds an awful lot like chicken pox, a common childhood virus that causes the exact kind of nasty “blister-like bumps” detailed on the menu.

Files on your own hardware are equally good as physical media.

This made me vomit a little in my mouth.

I am with you on physical media, and it is sad. Physical media is the only media you really own.

Not an Apple user here, but I saw it on the front page.

Is it me or does the leftmost one on the screenshot really looks the best anbd most consistent?

How much say do you have on the technical site of the page? Maybe have a custom icon recognized by the templating engine, using a Unicode code point from the private use area. This could be implemented using an icon font.

The commonly used symbol to represent the Fediverse is this one.

I set my homepage to communities I’m subscribed to, sorted by new.

This is the way to go!
