[–] thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

me single-handedly adding 8000ms of latency to Hexbear because the redditor who made these insisted on using five 8k png images instead of one 4k jpg

EDIT: They're all 75% jpegs now. from like 20mb each to 2 mb each lol

EDIT 2: And one more time, now they're smaller too so 600kb instead of 2 mb.

Seriously though, can you do us all a favor and run these through OCR so people with screen readers and people who don't want to use their entire mobile data budget for the month on ultra hd words?

[–] thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Should be better now.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Watching these images load takes me back to the days of 90s internet via dialup.

Yeah I got to fix this. brb

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You're gonna have a job with that because you're gonna be rate limited at 6 image uploads for a little while.

with VPN all things are possible so jot that down

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Here I made 5 smaller ones with the windows screenshot tool.

[–] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

The audacity to make these pngs that are still loading for me rather than just putting them into the text of the post is incredible. Well played.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

New CoC just dropped.

[–] CriticalOtaku@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

The Hexbear code of conduct should just be rule 1, but then most of the site would be banned at this rate. deeper-sadness
