Sadly(?) Firefox does not seem to handle HDR anywhere.

Does Mastodon support HDR images, or try to compress them to a normal color space?

Thankfully someone made a greasemonkey script to bulk download your files :)

It goes fairly slowly and page by page (~6m per 25) but that's still a HUGE savings for anyone with a lot.
Go forth and archive!

Don't buy online hardware that's bound to a single company.

The rug WILL be pulled from under you.

Every single time.

Fully-in-browser Go compiler and simple editor. I was hoping someone had built this :)

Highly recommended if you like Metroids. No combat, nearly zero text, heavily encourages "explore and try things" without being punishing about it and it is *super* well made. Go in blind if that sold you.

My first time through I couldn't figure out if I was sequence breaking or cheesing a mechanic or what, but nope. All intended, worked out perfectly. It's gonna take quite a while to figure it all out, despite easily being beatable in a few hours.

"snap store is running" is apparently an unknown failure mode for "trying to update snap store" from the snap store updater, snap store.

@hachyderm I've noticed some other-host images sometimes come into my apps as... attachments or something. when I check them on the hachyderm.io site, for at least some I get not-founds, like: https://social.noyu.me/@hikari/statuses/01H5JTA2WRDCSZB9RGZ15HFKJX

those files seem fine on the tooter's host though. is this something that should re-fetch implicitly sometimes and may be a bug, or does mastodon not re-fetch on attachment failures or something?

Glad to see the biggest unix-ishs continue the "require CLI fixes after using only the UI" tradition.

Apparently this is a known issue from ~2017 when you install from a USB. Sometimes. And Ubuntu's system updater considers "one of your repositories can't be loaded" to mean "no internet access" and doesn't even show the details in the log viewer, much less its own UI.

Literally every time I try, for decades, I hit some kind of self-corrupting nonsense in no time flat.

I'd love to ditch Dropbox, but Autosync has been absolutely amazing and I'd hate to lose that
