TranscriptionAn American Humane Certified Safety Representative visited the Snow Buddies set on the first day of filming. Fifteen Golden Retriever puppies were on set and fifteen other were being treated by a local veterinarian, and their illnesses were eventually diagnosed as Giardia and Coccidia. On request from the representative the remaining puppies on set received additional veterinary checks. Twenty-five of the puppies were from an American breeder and five were from a Canadian breeder. It was discovered that the puppies were approximately 8 weeks old, which lead to the belief that the puppies were only 6 weeks old when they were brought by the trainer to the movie set. Per the USDA it was at the time illegal to transport puppies under the age of 8 weeks.

After the removal of all 30 puppies, 28 older Golden Retriever puppies were brought in to continue filming. All of the 28 older puppies were exposed to parvovirus. Five of the puppies died, and up to six others fell ill after exposure to the virus.

As a result, the film was not permitted to use the "No animals were harmed..." disclaimer and received an "Unacceptable" marking from the American Humane Association.

Half the time I post a comment trying to contribute in some way but get downvotes so I'm scared to post any comments.

Additionally, I never post news articles I see because if the content of the news is bad (eg a news article about something bad google is doing), Ive seen others and myself get downvotes

I used to ask these a lot during Photon's early development, but I decided to do one now.

Are there any major features you'd like added or issues you'd want fixed?

I'd say the biggest criticism is that it's the largest instance, and is also a "general purpose" instance, which sort of takes away from the main goal of the fediverse. When 90% of content comes from one instance, it opposes the goal of decentralization.

I chose lemdro.id because it's nice and fast, the admins are very good, and its main topic is around technology/software which I like

Saw people on slrpnk.net were looking for a photon theme so I decided to make one. I'm not necessarily expecting this to be used at slrpnk.net, but I like the theme so I'll be using it. It has a nice light theme too.

It's pretty similar to a recent post for a "wintergreen" theme, this one is less saturated.

Even if you don't use Photon and have only heard of it, your answers can be useful for some questions!

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/13579151

I'd like to learn about the community that uses Photon, so I've decided to make a survey! You can answer it if you like. In about a week I'll collect the responses and see if anything's interesting, and then I'll make a post showing any discoveries.

The survey just has a few questions about demographics, Lemmy usage, and knowledge of Photon's features.

this security issue can only be triggered by users fault, but it's up to the UI designer to prevent user mistakes causing potential credential leaks.

The login page

The login page is designed to be as simple as possible. Only 1 page, no extra steps. It'll validate whatever instance url you type in to ensure it's actually a Lemmy instance.

The problem

If the user mistypes the instance url to a typo squatting instance, your credentials were just sent straight to them. Bad. For example, I could setup an instance named lemmu.world, and if someone accidentally mistypes lemmy.world as that, I get their credentials for free.

Potential solutions

I'm not sure which one would be best as they all have problems.

  • Require you to type the instance before you can start typing your credentials.
    • This complicates things and adds an extra step. This also wouldn't completely solve the problem.
  • Add an auto complete list
    • This will work for popular instances as they'll know that they have the wrong url because it disappeared from the auto complete. However, I'd need to keep this list updated and id prefer photon to have minimal external ties. This also wouldn't work for small instances.
  • Add typo checking
    • This has the same problem as above as I'd need to keep common misspellings updated and I want photon to have minimal external ties.

Any ideas? For now, this isn't a problem as long as you double check the instance you're logging in with, and there's no cases of this AFAIK.

Web dev: What browser is visiting the page?

User agent string:

A screenshot of a browser. The URL bar reads firefox://settings, a button on the URL bar is labelled Netscape, a popup from the button reads: "You're viewing a secure Opera page", and the web page title reads "Chrome settings".

Padding is a very versatile thing in UI design, and none of it will make anything look terrible.

Even in your first example, the toolbar has slight padding on the edges and so do the buttons.

The reason there's more padding now is because it makes it easier for new users to process everything.

TL;DR

Vercel has been a PITA for a few reasons I won't go into, and I eventually reached a usage limit that made the site unusuable. Cloudflare pages has no usage limits, so I have switched to that. Nothing different should be noticable, except that initial loads might be slightly faster.

if you don't like cloudflare

I understand lots of people dislike cloudflare, so if you want to get away from it, here are some publicly hosted instances:

Instance Location Contact
phtn.app (Official) ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US West [email protected]
photon.thesanewriter.com ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US East [email protected]
p.darrennathanael.com ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ ID West [email protected]
phtn.ngn.tf ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Turkey [email protected]
lm.sudovanilla.org ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US East [email protected] (behind 1 version)

You can also selfhost it if you'd like.

git clone https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon
cd photon
npm install && ADAPTER=node npm run build
node ./build/index.js

On phtn.app I can give all translators of Photon a badge, here's how it looks on @[email protected] (the French translator!)

If you want this and you translated the app, just add a comment and I'll try to verify your contributions. Then I'll add it to phtn.app. I can add and remove this at any time, and this will only appear on phtn.app.

To get the badge, you must have

  • Validly translated at least 30 strings of any language (other than English)
  • Proof that you are the contributor on weblate (using the same username on both should be enough)
