I’ve used ALVR to play Underdogs on my Pico 4 on Linux. It can be a bit flakey getting it running though.

Fair, I can see that. Whenever I hear a LoL player describe playing it it sounds like the time when I played WoT religiously and I don’t have partially fond memories of WoT.

I don’t know what that mean and frankly I think that’s a blessing.

It’s less clear to me if static images get auto compressed on upload. Looks like pictrs implemented this a couple years ago, but I’m not sure if this is automatic behavior or has to be turned on by Lemmy admins.

Non animated images, I’m guessing are automatically compressed on upload. Otherwise I suspect many more people would be complaining about failed uploads. But I’m working on verifying this

There does seem to be options in pictrs to compress images by format, I’d assume that having these unset (default) would mean no compression happens. I think the reason there isn’t any complaining about image uploads happening is because, by default, they don’t have constraints applied to them. Only animation (256x256 dimension limit) and video (max 20 MiB file size) have constraints put on them in pictrs by default, though there is a 20 MiB upload limit set in nginx.

Lemmy imposes it’s own rate limits on how many images you can upload/time period. I wanna say the default is roughly 6 images/hour, but I might be totally wrong there.
I’m also curious how many sever admins leave the default settings, or change them.

feddit.uk has its set to 2 every 5 minutes. I think a previous admin set that, but it seems sensible enough.

Anyone else read horse girl and thought they meant like Uma Musume?

While on a computer, text selection doesn’t typically summon a pop up, it’s needed in mobile because how else would you easily get to copy and paste? Everyone else would rage at the loss of the tooltip and any other interaction would be painfully hidden if it was delegated to a combo of pressing your lock buttons or volume buttons while highlighting text.

The complaint is specifically about desktop text selection though, the screenshot above says “i select text using my mouse”. I agree that removing the pop-up UI from mobile would suck, well suck more than mobile text selection already does.

Quick edit: didn’t see the screenshot of the widget, might be the site you’re using, or browser? Also any adblocker add on should be able to hide those elements.

You’re right, putting ##.quote-share-buttons in my uBlock filter list got rid of it. Still, blocking all these elements myself is really laborious.

Don’t worry, I got you. Here’s the alt-text:

@jk​@mastodon.social on Mastodon: “note to ui designers. when i’m reading a long piece of text. i select text while i read it. I select text while i read it!. i select the text using my mouse. while i read the text i often select the text. when i select the text i just want to select the text. i don’t want to perform actions on the text. i don’t want a popup menu to appear when i select the text. i don’t want to accidentally click on a Share link. i want to select text while i read it”.

I’m complaining about pop-up widgets appearing when you select text, like the email icon here:

It’s very rare that holding alt while selecting text doesn’t resolve this issue.

But I’m not actually looking to select the text when I do this, I’m just stimming and the extra visual noise is annoying.

No lie, I’ve actually had designers come to me with a concept for “a visual indicator that shows the user how they are progressing through the page”.

What the actual fuck, do these people actually use computers.

My biggest gripe is websites that take control of the browser C-f.
