  • “pro” tip: Whenever Ubuntu gives you a black screen it’s likely the GPU driver or desktop-environment which were borked.

    A way to reach a terminal, is to switch to another session using ctrl+alt+F2.

    From there you can run terminal commands to downgrade the GPU driver or reinstall the desktop environment.

    It’s tragic that this is still such a common issue.























  • Indeed jpegxl appears to be much better than AVIF. By the way two small questions related to images on Lemmy this probably isn’t the right place but I just remembered it

    1. In the browser client you make it possible to paste images into the thumbnail field when creating a post? I saw this functionality added to the Jerboa client recently, it’s pretty useful for when the scraper doesn’t automatically find a thumbnail in a link

    2. On lemmy.ml there’s a filesize limit to uploading images in the post field. I often have to manually downsize them to fit the size limit. Would it be possible to automatically encode the images client side when uploading? Maybe make them even smaller when uploading them into the thumbnail field.
