It's very optimistic to think people will be able to describe what they're going to do before they do it. I find things rarely go exactly as planned and my commit messages usually include some nuance about my changes that I didn't anticipate.

Got it! Are they renumbered chronologically? Like if my 11 was created before your 11, would yours be the one that's renumbered?

Commit IDs are only local anyway.

Due to a recent swap in Photon's tooling we are unable to update to later versions of Photon. As such, for now the alternate frontend will exist frozen and will continue to exist in the future until either: a new lemmy version breaks that version of the frontend or the issues are fixed and upgrading becomes possible again.

Is there a GitHub issue related to this problem that we can follow to see whether Photon addresses this issue?

A Roku stick requires the Roku streaming service to be functioning to be useful.

That's not true at all. You could use a Roku with only Plex/Jellyfin and it would be immensely useful.

I am also missing comments on posts from other instances.

And on a post I made to World, I only got comments from here.

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

I think they were referring to the text (transcription) of the post, not the image. And yes it looks like OCR.

It can be encrypted...
