How are you guys seeing the picture clear enough to read

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In Firefox, I had to middle click the actual text/link itself to open the photo in a new tab, then it loaded the full resolution version. When I clicked the actual photo, I got an unreadable low-res version.

Ah, that did it. I am on Firefox as well and was wondering why so many others were getting a clear picture while I was looking at so much blur.

This handy little trick called zoom

Zooming into a blurry picture just gives to a closer look at the blur. There is some kind of disparity in what some people are seeing and what others are cause when I pull this up I get basically white lines on black backgrounds no matter how much I "enhance".

Edit: Looks like it's an issue with Lemmy's interface with Firefox. Clicking the link gives you the clear picture while clicking the image gives you a rather large (and blurry) thumbnail.

Ah that makes sense. I was being sarcastic, but here:

Does that help?

Yes, thank you.

Edit: Jesus titty-fucking Christ

Not just Firefox, but I'm also getting a blurry picture on Voyager 🤷‍♂️

sorry for bad quality but if you zoom in you can read it properly : )
