Why did you post a screenshot of search results instead of just picking a good one and posting that?

Actual link I provided in the body shows one perspective of shots. Overall is single image of them could be modified or blurred the same reason I posted the results from the cloud. What’s something looks that unreal I usually look for multiple sources.

Perhaps I’m overthinking it. Living forward I’ll just post single source images.

No worries. I was just curious

If it is more ad than news I’d say this an ad site that happens to have some news.

@STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. And the thing that kills me about this is they are all ads for the exact same company.

Gotta say, the website works great on phone too. No reason to get an app

You can “install” it as an app on your phone too.

sneezy ,

install … a website? is that a thing?

Mugmoor ,
@Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Sure is! They’re called Progressive Web Apps. This article explains how to use them, mobilesyrup.com/…/how-install-progressive-web-app…

sneezy ,

interesting. But that seems to rely on Chrome, which I’ve removed. I’m using Duckduckgo as main browser instead. So I just fireproof the login, bookmark and I’m good. Thanks for the explanation, though.

edit: there seems to be a sandboxed webapps browser on f-droid

amanaftermidnight ,

YSK that almost all browsers except Firefox and its derivatives uses the same base as Chrome called Chromium.

refurbishedrefurbisher ,

You can also use Firefox/Fennec/Mull/whatever to use PWAs. On F-Droid, there’s an app called Native Alpha that uses the system’s Webview (Chromium based).

@sneezy Yeap, all browsers still have it as an option in the main menu, lots of sites still have metadata to present it as fullscreen too so it feels like a proper app.

daniskarma ,

Some websites can be directly “installed” in you app drawer. They are really like an advanced shortcut for the mobile webpage. You probably haven’t seen it a lot because commercial webs that want to shove their propietary app down your throat disable this option.

But both Lemmy and Mastodon have it enabled.

To do so, click on options on your desired browser and you’ll find an “addto startup page” option or something along those lines.

WarmSoda ,

Isn’t that called a shortcut?

daniskarma ,

Mostly. But it is launched in a different instance of your browser, so it doesn’t mix with it. Becoming more convenient for some cases.

WarmSoda ,

That’s pretty cool. Thanks

    Interesting, thanks

    WarmSoda ,

    I just tried it. It just adds a browser shortcut to my phone. Oh well

    jaamesbaxterr ,

    I believe they are referred to as PWA or progressive web app. I’m using Voyager ( formerly wefwef) right now and it’s a pretty solid experience. Been bouncing back and forth between this and Memmy since day one. Voyager is my favorite because it feels like Apollo.

    Mugmoor ,
    @Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    This isn’t a shortcut. It’s an actual app with access to system resources on your phone that a website wouldn’t have access to.

    Tygr ,

    Yep. Then you find Voyager, vger.app where you install that website as an app, now you get a similar Apollo experience from the “old Reddit days.” That’s what I’ve used since day 3.

    Bosa ,

    Yep agreed voyager is basically Apollo for Lemmy. Of course still a long way to go but it’s close

    Tygr ,

    I just miss the rich text editing that Lemmy offers. I don’t care to learn the code or type it out. Eventually I’d like Voyager to get an app in the App Store as an option to build in these extra features.

    Boinketh ,

    If Voyager is like Apollo, it’s no wonder iOS users were so up in arms about the API shutdown.

    Bosa ,

    Ya agreed. Eventually things will even out give or take and both platforms will be fine

    roi ,

    Definitely, but it gets very regular & quick updates and has gotten much better within like a week

    WarmSoda ,

    Agreed. I’ve been using the website on my phone. I figure I’ll check out the apps again after they settle into themselves more.

    @Hellstormy@lemmy.world avatar

    Then there is my cat who stuffes half of his body in a 5cm diameter pudding container just so that he can reach the very last drop of it. Then wonders why he is stuck and as soon as I save him from his pudding prison he does the same again.

    CCF_100 , to youshouldknow in YSK: Cats don't like their whiskers touching their food bowl. This is why they beg even if food is still left at the bottom.

    😮 So THAT’S why they will beg for food even if the bowl isn’t empty!

    RetroTINK 5X. Peep it if you can’t find a framemeister.

    Not exactly CRT quality, but likely the best we’ll have on modern displays.

    PeterPoopshit , to selfhosted in What's your uptime record?

    I think I got up to 300 or so days on my old Athlon XP Gentoo server. I have “upgraded” since then and my current server can’t go more than 2 days. I have an arduino connected to the motherboards reset button pin that resets it whenever the bash script that communicates with the arduino stops running but even that somehow still crashes at least once a week and needs manual intervention.

    I remember not knowing what, like, 40% of the shit on a given screen in a video game was meant to be because it was all a blurry mass of pixels. Important shit looked better than background stuff (in a decent game, anyway) and the characters were always the most detailed thing.

    Now I can play the 17th iteration of a game series that went from the above, to being able to count the individual fibers of a berber carpet.

    Aux ,

    Decent games still highlight important stuff. But usually in a very mild way so you, as a player, don’t notice the difference, but still can feel what’s important and what’s not.

    CamelCityCalamity , to retrogaming in Retro games really did look better on a CRT

    The raw pallette Nintendo video with NTSC filters looks amazing in RetroArch on a modern screen. It looks like how I remember. I’ll see if I can find a screenshot of mine later.

    Eh, I’ll just show some from search results. Notice how the color bleeds between pixels, and edges have color artifacts.
