Fuck Tumblr. Fuck WordPress. Fuck Automattic. And fuck Matt.

Tumblr has some interesting content from users, but the platform is awful and it’s even worse since Automattic bought it. Also, the trend to put the entire contents of the post in hashtags is flat-out stupid and infuriating.

Automatic is a tremendously terrible company, and Matt is an egotistical pile of garbage.

Is it “change” itself that makes you uncomfortable or the fact that change means putting in effort in areas you’ve developed habits to minimize effort?

At least with Azerty, you don’t run into it in the wild.

The worst layout is alphabetical, because sometimes you are forced to use it.

It’s really not worth the effort. Nothing will change, and there will always be others.

The irony of that suggestion is very amusing, because the moderator/admin of that community/instance is one of those people.

Two years for me, too. But I disagree that it’s nicer than on Reddit. The way Lemmy works fosters the development of cliques. Also, with much fewer users it makes it so that ‘power’ users wind up having a weird cult-like following that boosts their posts/comments and suppresses anyone who dares to point out when those people mistreat other people and/or break the rules that are clearly applied selectively.

Definitely don’t click on links like this one: https://trustmethisisnotascam.com/

If you want to spend the time and effort to practice that technique, go for it. But the benefits don’t really make it worth it for most people.

into the habit of a good technique means you’ll be fine even when you’re tired or distracted

The technique described in the image is not the only “good technique”. A person could reasonably develop their own “good technique” simply by being cognizant of their cutting.

The chopping technique is not really that necessary. It’s great for chopping lots of veggies at speed, but if you’re just cutting veggies for a single meal then there’s not that much benefit unless you’re already highly practiced and that’s your default.

What’s far more important is just being cognizant for each cut you make. Walk don’t run.

I thought that might be what they were saying, but then it would be “with regard to to” so I was unsure.

Initialisms like this bug me because they cause confusion for the most minimal amount of benefit.

“wrt”?

We should be more concerned with the cascade resonance event at the Black Mesa laboratories.

Think of it this way: if solar-flare magnetic aberrations could be strong enough to make an effect on humans, then they would also affect other things that are far more sensitive to magnetic fields.

For example, a VHS tape, audio cassette tape, or an HDD computer hard drive (they store data on spinning magnetic plates) would be erased or at least damaged when exposed to a normal household magnet.

Additionally, if you consider the argument that somehow humans are even more sensitive, then a normal household magnet would cause similar symptoms as the claims of Heliobiology and we would see much worse with stronger sources of magnetic fields like an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) which could even pull a metal chair across the room.

Lemmy has their fair share

Now that’s some high quality P-N-G

I recently saw a self-hosted imgix/cloudinary alternative. I thought I starred it on gh, but apparently not and I can’t remember the name.

Edit
I think this was it:

But also, on a second read of your post, I now realize what you are looking for is right here:
https://squoosh.app/

It’s open source and it’s entirely client-side. It allows you to customize the settings to compress your image to the file size and format you need and maintain as much as the quality as possible. I can’t think of a simpler solution that works across all your devices.

I find it ironic that their website has extremely low contrasting colors making it very hard to read.

(Look at the top left for the worst example)
