This is wonderful, thanks for sharing your project! It’s nice to see hobbyists building projects too 😄

Still wont be able to afford this but maybe my 40s secret Santa will be extra generous 🤑

I’m sure the gb will be a hit!

Awesome! If you do I’d love to hear how it goes. I’m sure I’m not the only person trying this but I haven’t found much online from other users yet.

As stated, my reason is that I was paying Spotify more money for less music and I was unhappy with that. You pointed out yourself that musicians barely get by in the streaming era so I would rather support them on Bandcamp (I know it has it’s own issues) or buying physical media whenever possible rather than pirating. Streaming platforms may make music you want to listen to seemingly affordable and accessible but that’s not the case for everyone. This is my personal experience.

it’s easier to just sub to something like Apple Music… literally $110/yr for all the music that exists.

As others have stated, not all music exists on every streaming platform. That alone is enough of a reason for me. I recently canceled my longtime Spotify subscription because the price kept increasing while my library kept decreasing. I actually don’t pirate music when I can help it because I’d rather support artists on Bandcamp or purchasing physical media directly. If I can’t do that then I head to Soulseek!

GIMP is fine but who can find me replacements for After Effects and Premiere Pro? I need software for video editing/motion graphics and these are the two apps keeping me shackled to Adobe for now…

I’ve had good luck accessing Channel4 via the NordVPN browser extension in Firefox. Using my desktop VPN (OpenVPN) stopped working some months ago as it was detected by the site but it seems the browser extension flies under the radar.

I’m a MacBook user and I’ve been very happy with AlDente. It took some reading to understand all the features but I really believe it’s made a difference in the health of my battery.

Not a playlist per se but Datafruits.fm is a cooperative online radio station

I also just switched from Mullvad to OpenVPN and I’m very happy with it. I grabbed the 3-year Halloween promo.

I had trouble using the default port assigned in Nicotine+ too. Try changing the port range to something different if you haven’t already, that’s what got my client working.

Never noticed those bordered corners either, good job spotting them! I just pushed a fix to the stylesheet. I’m not on Github so I’m not sure this theme will be showing up on the official site. If anything I would at least wait until the native Lemmy theme was ready to share.

There is no compact version at the moment. Is the sidebar much smaller in comparison to a native theme in your browser?

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for as a reference.

Yeah it sucks that there are no free user style extensions for Safari, sorry ☹️

I don’t have plans for a Catppuccin theme, but someone else asked about it on my last post and I found a theme on Github: https://github.com/n3oney/catppuccin-lemmy

Stylus themes only change CSS locally in-browser, I’m still working on a native theme. I will definitely post an update when it’s further along because I’ll need help from others willing to install and test early versions on their own instances!

Not quite sure what you mean but this is based on the Dracula theme suite by Zeno Rocha.

Thank you! I’m glad you like it. I didn’t anticipate interest in a native theme but I’ll certainly look into it and let you know when I cobble something together 😁
