.ml is running the beta branch that actually started to apply image size limits to thumbnails, your app is probably using the thumbnail URL instead of the main URL and thus getting the compressed image.

I’ve heard good things about Sharkey, it’s what blahaj uses for their microblog stuff.

There’s also Iceshrimp, though last I heard they were becoming their own thing written in C#.

The others I know about don’t seem to be maintained. Can’t speak to using them, I find the interface far too busy (default Mastodon UI users).

I never knew Trump felt so strongly about VAT on private schools.

So he went with the means to cheat, but didn’t use it? That’s somehow even stranger.

This is straight up misinformation, Dorsey was on the Bluesky’s board, but left in May. As far as I’m aware, he’s never even invested in the company (but he has given money to the nostr devs).

This has been fixed https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4937

Northern Ireland doesn’t get its own zone because the outcome would be too obvious otherwise.

Both the Green Party and the RSPB have voiced concerns about what this will mean for Britain.

Here’s what Green Party MP Ellie Chowns said:

"Starmer’s pledge to investors that he will “cut red tape” is a tired cliché that, in practice, too often means harming environmental standards and workers’ rights. We’ve had fourteen years of successive Conservative governments promising to “cut red tape,” and all we have to show for it is a flatlining economy and falling living standards.

If Starmer is serious about attracting investment to the UK, he will need a bolder approach that delivers on the “change” he promised in his election campaign. He could start by re-evaluating our relationship with our biggest trading partner, the European Union.”

And RSPB chief executive Beccy Speight:

"An unsettling speech from the PM this morning for those who love and value nature. Deregulation done in the wrong way is effectively dropping standards, at a time when the natural world desperately needs better protection. It’s a short-sighted tactic that could have ramifications for us all in years to come, undermining our long term prosperity - better methods, such as nature-friendly planning, would give businesses the certainty they need.

We support growth and we support the badly-needed energy transition, but not at the expense of our precious wildlife and wild places.

His very own secretary of state [Steve Reed] said recently that “nature is dying” – uncontrolled deregulation is tantamount to hammering the final nail into its coffin."

A spokesman for Kemi Badenoch said it would be “wrong to infer any prejudice” from the report and that it was “essential that we are able to talk about these issues without the media deliberately misleading their readers for the sake of easy headlines”.

They’re right, it’d be wrong to infer something so explicit.

That’s because Starmer made getting stuff done in the first hundred days a major part of his campaign.

Tbf, there is like 350 million of you lot, that’s like 75% of the Anglosphere, so it makes sense you’d have the most news.

I love the implication that only Americans speak English.

Why has TikTok got to be the carcinisation of websites. YouTube is TikTok, Instagram is TikTok, fucking porn websites are TikTok. Soon you’ll be looking up a solution to a video game puzzle and the website will be a 9:16 video of text-to-speech reading out 8 paragraphs of what should’ve be text.

I think it’s generally a bad move trying to explain the technology first, it’s how people tried to advertise Mastodon when the Tumblr exodus happened and I bounced straight off it. I looked at the list of instances and they were all stuff like “a Mastodon instance for sci-fi nerds” and I couldn’t get over the inertia of tying myself to that designated interest.

What we need to do is get people to create accounts and experience the fediverse and then we can point them at examples of the tech if they want to know more, stuff like “that person you replied to is on a different instance and you’re able to speak to each other because of ~federation~”.

What do you mean by handwriting features? I’ve played around with Write a bit and it has some cool features (I really like the ability to make a series of stokes a link) but I wouldn’t call them handwriting features.

That’s what the author says IANA will do based on the precedent of .yu, but IANA hasn’t actually said what they’ll do yet.

I doubt they’ll kill the domain outright, there’s too many long established websites using it and too much money behind those domains. It helps that the Chagos Island transfer is a lot less messy than the breakup of Yugoslavia (hopefully at least as it hasn’t actually happened yet).
