Twenty-eighth amendment

[melsaskca@lemmy.ca]

Finally! It's been a long time since we passed reasonable laws. Maybe this is the sea change we've been looking for.

[maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone]

The Presiding Committee advises delegates that a new amendment to the amendment has been submitted from the floor, and that the amended amendment can be read below with the amended text in bold:

The US Constitution will allow a second-term President who flays and skins their Vice President and wears their severed face as a mask to serve a third and fourth term in office.

[maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone]

The Presiding Committee kindly reminds delegates and observers to refrain from voicing or by other means indicating their approval or disapproval of the amendment during the Constitutional Assembly or any amendments to the amendment unless they have been selected by the Chair to speak for or against the amendment before the Assembly or any of the amendments to the amendment.

Hey boss. What are you doing with that knife?

[melsaskca@lemmy.ca]

Sorry! Forgot my "/s" there.

Side note: why can’t I find more of pictures of Kristi Noem from South park when I search. Everyone needs to share these images more. Make them as common as the Vance memes

The Presiding Committee kindly reminds Vice President Vance that Exhibit A. Knife of the President of the United States is only a replica for the purposes of demonstrating the ceremonial and legal process of flaying and wearing the severed face of their Vice President and in no way represents a threat to the life, bodily organ or face of Vice President Vance.

Nearly gave me a god damn heart attack before I got to the end. Thanks now I don't need coffee.

I'm not sure Dolan Turnip even knows which end of the knife to hold.

Face off 2: the sequel

(Anyone remember that movie?)

[divinedev@piefed.social]

We're getting closer and closer to the 40k timeline where continuous human sacrifice is required so God Emperor Trump can maintain his power.

I found plenty. I took a screenshot of a google search but it fails to upload in the comments here at the moment.

Greg Egan the author?

[maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone]

Yeah.

I HEARD HE FUCKS COUCHES. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM?

I was trying to find the one of her face sliding around the ground

Side note: this is something I’m trying to figure out rn, but I know for certain that Lemmy gif uploads will fail if they are too wide. It’s unclear to me if non animated images will auto compress or fail when too big

[maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone]

It could be up to each instance owner/sydamin. No idea.

[moseschrute@lemmy.world]

So I actually kinda know what I'm talking about, but not really:

• Lemmy uses pictrs to handle image uploads
  • I know from experience that pictrs will fail on gif upload if max width is greater than PICTRS_MEDIA_ANIMATION_MAX_WIDTH and same for height and (I think) animation frame count
  • 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.
  • I haven't messed around with limits for image dimensions other than the settings for animated media, but I'm planning on testing this on my instance soon.
• Lemmy API image upload
  • 0.19.x has all images uploaded via the same API endpoint. So I think any image uploaded should be subject to the same dimension and size limits.
  • In the upcoming Lemmy v1 release, this might change as I believe they will have different upload endpoints for avatar, banner, post, etc. Avatars, for example, might be subject to smaller dimension limits. This is all subject to change as Lemmy v1 is not released yet.
• Lemmy API getting the image upload limit settings
  • 0.19.x does not expose the image upload limits via the API. So whatever, for example, lemmy.world set's their limits to, there isn't an easy way for a Lemmy frontend to look up those limits.
  • In the upcoming Lemmy v1 release, I believe they are planning on adding a way to look up these limits via the API.
• Other limits
  • 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.

TL;DR, what does this all mean?

• Uploading gifs is always going to be a little annoying as they don't auto compress. As a server admin, I just set the dimension limits higher so users encounter errors on fewer images
• 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

Just to be extra safe – and also here’s why I know all this – I've chosen to auto compress images on upload in my own Lemmy/PieFed frontend to 1mb and 1000 max width/height, whichever comes first. I'm actively testing these settings.
