They actually teach Electrical Engineers to yell IEEE when shocked by high voltage

Old joke;

What do you say when you're flying a plane designed with a Pentium™?

IEEE!

(This dates back to the Pentium float bug. It's an antique)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not an antique until it's 100 years old, that's just a vintage joke

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

At 20 years old it's classified as Classic, like cars.

And at 21 it can drink

That's right before they taught us how to keep the blue smoke inside the components

Huh? This image has enough pixels to be printed on a facade-sized billboard.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's the real problem. The app he is using reduces the image to optimize memory usage, but if the image has too many pixels in either direction, it ends up decimating too much.
I ran into that issue with one of the Lemmy clients when I was trying them out, but can't remember which one it was. If I remember correctly, it should be something that you can turn off, but it can drastically slow down how long it takes to display some images.

In Thunder, the preview is super blurry and unreadable, but once opened it looks fine.

I'm pretty sure the reddit app I used to use (Relay) had the same issue.

Oh interesting, that might be it. I'm using Sync.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I was thinking it was sync, but I didn't want to call them out if I was wrong...
I suspect that it was originally written for devices with much less power and much less memory. Also reddit had upper limits on image size. So, Lemmy's yolo way of dealing with images is coming up against sync's attempts to be able to run nicely on the worst devices.

I think there's something wrong with your client or something, because for me it's great quality.

Either find the HD button or open in browser so it loads the whole thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Felt that too in the preview but after opening it it worked (use eternity btw)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Huh, have only ever seen the final form of this one. Didn't realize there was a progression.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

If you take a finished product and gradually take away pieces, you can make a progression out of pretty much anything.

The Serpinski triangle of Venn diagrams.

IEEE is also a standards organization alongside ISO, SAE, W3C and ANSI

Holly Walsh presents Venn diagrams.

Crab ain't too expensive? HUH

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

We're going to need some more dimensions here...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Boundary wrapping conditions.

AAAAAH is likewise too expensive.
