hmmm, I’m on desktop, the picture is embedded and if I hover over it, it gives me the alt text description :3c

Woah, the alt text correctly uses the sic indicator! Well done, OP :P

Presumably the sentence finishes if you aren’t on mobile

That is both funny and correct, the full sentence is:

Per Secretarial Order 3453, Lake Ontario has been renamed to Lake America. The basemaps for this application are in the process of being updated to reflect this name change.

:P

Hmm, most of the comments I read add interesting tidbits about the life of an arborist and the costs of removing a tree that people might not expect. I wouldn’t say that the commenters don’t understand the joke, I for one appreciate the extra information.

Nice video, thanks for the recommendation!

On the point of the Tesseract dev AdmiralPatrick accusing db0 of death threats … they might be confusing this with the April drama we had this year on Lemmy, see this comment and post which summarizes things.

Basically, an admin on anarchist nexus (AN) changed their name to “Murder all Zionists” which MrKaplan, a lemmy world (LW) admin, understood as a death threat and caused LW to defederate AN without discussing this issue with other LW admins or announcing the defederation. Db0 seems to have some kind of alliance with AN and sided with them, hence I guess AdmiralPatrick interpreted this as db0 siding with death threats lol

Just to provide some context here. ^^

I guess it’s just a pattern to easily get a number between a and b, going (b - a + 1). Or maybe this is just vibecoded lol

Seeing (100 - 1 + 1) definitely bothers my brain lmao

Looking closer, the whole calculation bothers me now. Why do floor() + 1 instead of just using ceil … arghhhh

This is quite sad tbh. While it was a pretty bad idea to quietly bake in a blacklist with no configuration options, no one should be harassed and getting death threats over this! This whole rant is quite stupid too, I hope the tesseract dev calms down.

Also: purposefully DDOSing a server as some kind of petty revenge is just disgraceful.

Obligatory mention for devs, make sure you still spent time outside of your projects. Don’t force yourself to work on stuff and end up neglecting irl stuff like the tesseract dev did!

Heh, I remember working on a bulbasaur a few years ago. I was just looking through the canvas lemmy post and someone had asked for help and so I did :3
I also spent a lot of time converting it into the right color scheme but I think someone else had a better design in the end :3c
Fun times!

oh hey, I had that issue recently where YouTube thought I was a bot and yt-dlp gave me an error “sign in to confirm you’re not a bot”. This issue is actually mentioned on the yt-dlp FAQ and they said to use a proof of origin token provider (POT provider). After setting up the recommended one made by Brainicism, I only had to run it once, open a video with the POT provider in the background and since then YouTube doesn’t believe I’m a bot anymore. Now yt-dlp works without using the POT provider again.

Not sure for how long, sometimes YouTube still denies me videos on the first try but usually it works after a re-try.

PS.: On the FAQ it is also mentioned to not use your YouTube account token with yt-dlp, else YouTube might associate your account with a bot and ban it.

and maybe increase the duration and size of the emoji reactions showing! I could barely tell what they show xD

I meant the embed picture that gets generated. Pretty sure it needs to be generated before posting.

Edit: this is what I mean, when I create a post with my browser and I select an image (or paste link), there’s an embed of the image (the fen picture here). Sometimes that embed does not load and then the post does not have an embed.

From what I know, when you create a post and put in a link you have to wait a bit for it to generate a thumbnail like this. If you submit the post before it generated the thumbnail fully or without it having generated a thumbnail at all, then the post will not show a thumbnail.

At least that’s how it was in the browser when I posted things a few years ago. Maybe pawb social servers were too slow with loading the image and people created the posts without thumbnail preview or maybe some lemmy apps circumvent this thumbnail generation when creating posts.

I didn’t recognize any from a quick glance but I could’ve know ShepGoesBlep and FuroGrape from their comics where their sonas appear. Heard of some of the others too :3

that could be it, I’ll see when it happens again. Thanks for the input ^^

That is a nice picture and a very cute fursuit, nice find :3

also: sorry for posting this comment three times … seems like my app has a bug 😅

I haven’t seen much yet from VGen. I know some furry artists use KoFi or Patreon for funding, others just offer commissions over Instagram, Bsky or Discord and give you a PayPal address to send money to. VGen seems to have a high bar for getting artists verified, good luck to your fiancé! :3
