DEAD ACCOUNT. Lemmy.one does not have active administration and I need to move on. Catch me over at dbzer0: lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/empireOfLove2

Yet another Reddit refugee from the great 3rd party app purge of 2023. Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.

empireOfLove,

Jpg at 70% will lose a significant amount of detail. It is a “lossy” format, you cant judt compress data for nothing.

AVIF is significantly more efficient than jpeg, so it loses less image data for higher compression (smaller file sizes).

JXL supports both lossy and lossless compression, and is supposed to be more efficient yet over AVIF. However it’s got proprietary all over it because Google et al. For thst alone I would shy away from JXL and go AVIF.

Actually yeah. i’ll guarantee that was it. 14 days ago I was making fun of hexbear users defending russia’s war crimes in the memes /c/ of all places… which is weird that they defend it considering russia is very not-communist anymore.

still sucks since many of the largest communities around things like linux and tech are on .ml

I have a feeling it was more of “that was the biggest instance when we all got started here so we all just stayed here”. The prime-mover advantage for lemmy.world and lemmy.ml is pretty severe and it still shows in user counts/activity. It’s just gotten more obvious over time what lemmy.ml admins (and by extension the developers of the platform) really support.

I really don’t care, I actually thought it was kind of hilarious i was just yelling into a federated void for two weeks before my slow ass finally realized something was off lmfao hence the meme about the really bad moderation system

empireOfLove, (edited )

I had about 6 in my inbox at one time, but they’ve all been lost to the winds of fediverse moderation at this point.

A vast majority of instances have defederated from hexbear/lemmygrad/etc by now. So you dont see nearly as much of them outside of the main lemmy.ml communities, and those that do end up outside them ususally get moderated out by local admins.

If you really are curious. Take a scroll through some of the comments on hexbears “dunk tank” like so. See how long you can read before closing the tab out of disgust. Most of them are commenting completely unironically… (That thread is not Russia specific yes but I couldn’t stomach to scroll down that community any farther. It gives you an idea.)

empireOfLove,

Oh I know theres lots more out there. But I’m uber lazy and like my one comfy account with a specific set of subscribed comfy communities

empireOfLove,

Humanity will survive; society as we know it, or in any form higher than nomadic tribes, not so much.
Glad to know Reddit moderator behavior has carried over, it’s just like old times!

I should be allowed to post my nonsense and uninformed takes however I please and get ridiculed by the community for it, not outright quiet-banned by mods just because they didn’t like me. I’m a big boy, I can take the heat.

empireOfLove,

Don’t make fun of someone asking for a source. That’s called critical thinking.

Go to the “Modlog” page at the very bottom of the web interface for your instance. You can search moderation tasks by username, such as your own, and it should show removed content.

I’ve found actual instance bans don’t federate reliably though, e.g i cant see any of my lemmy.ml bans on lemmy.one. so you’d have to check the target instances by opening their web page in an incognito or logged-out browser window, and view their modlog directly instead of your home instances’ modlog.

empireOfLove,

but don’t really see what’s wrong with the comment other than it goes against the political grain of the community (world news).

thats how it do be these days, unfortunately

you’ll never get more explanation than that

empireOfLove,

Humor is also inversely proportional to image resolution

That’s why the non-parentheses number is zero for all seeded torrents. In parentheses number is “hey I’m here”. Out of parentheses number is “hey I’m here. Let me in.”

For actively downloading torrents they’re an indication of connection health. If there’s 150 announced seeders but you only open a connection to one or two of them, you might have a network problem.

empireOfLove,

Ground-source water-water heat pumps have entered the chat

A typical low flow toilet flushes about 1.6 to 1.8gal these days. Normal shower heads flow at about 2gpm.

1.6/2 = 0.8min, * 60sec/min = 48 seconds

Assuming that you are not effectively washing yourself while ijln the middle of waffle stomping. As long as you can waffle stomp in less than 48 seconds, it is a net gain for water usage.

empireOfLove,

It would be OK to be Carter though since the dude’s almost 100 and has done enough good in his life to deserve a final rest. Man’s absolutely based.

empireOfLove,

lol

empireOfLove,

that makes sense considering the entire social circle that I circulate in is made up of various mechanical engineers and engineering students lol

empireOfLove, (edited )

This is the first time I think I’ve actually seen this comic untouched.

I’ve always seen the one edited to make fun of civil engineers doing FEA.

empireOfLove,

very tasty murder!

empireOfLove,

the justice warriors will always take things too seriously (ref: your bacon post)

honestly just block their accounts and move on, they’ll not contribute anything else useful and will always be mad about everything you post.

empireOfLove,

definitely one of those “wow the writers did a LOT of coke this weekend” scripts

but yknow it was the 80’s so I don’t exactly blame them

empireOfLove,
