Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

This is not canon, just some fun extra art drawn by the mangaka for her Daydream Hour artbooks.

For speed.
Since I'm not uploading to my instance but hosting using catbox, I could upload the full image as the main image every time. (Instance limit is 1mb, and it also further compresses all images into webp files)
But for some users on mobile apps in places with crap internet, larger files mean they have to wait for the post to load for potentially tens of seconds. That's really annoying, just to see what someone posted.
In order for my posts to load relatively instantly no matter the conditions in which a user is browsing lemmy, I thumbnail any image larger than a megabyte into something smaller. For any images like this I then link the original file, should someone like to see the piece in full quality.

I changed the logic on my tool for detecting whether something should be nsfw.
Went too far. I reverted it but posts I saved while testing are still in the queue.

Haha... I know that'd be best practice.
But holding the code in my head gets so much harder when I do that. There's something about the way I think about code that makes it easier for me to do monolithically. Just keeping the whole thing in my mind as a long, from the top downwards list.
There shouldn't be a difference, it's not like the code is any different. But for the same reason I tend to stick to what comes easy.
I might make the analogy that one long file is like a 2d projection of a 3d space for me. I can picture the process moving through the code easier, and as soon I split things into multiple files, it's like my single-dimensional thinking has to become multi-dimensional.

Wait. Is she just chomping down on straight roasted, unground coffee beans?
Edit: yes

I'm not made uncomfortable regardless of how I'm referred to. I make the same effort you do.
I kind of feel ahead of the curve on that, being Finnish :D
The language doesn't have gendered pronouns at all. Though there are an awful lot of words like postimies (postman).

FYI I'm a "he". PrivateNoob got it right.
Also, you put in a different kind of effort which I wouldn't be able to do, and I appreciate the hell out of you for doing so.

Hi PrivateNoob, I still remember running into you a lot in my early days :D
I'm currently using pretty much what's on the repo.
Working on an update though, which will enable me to use a single command to make the tool look at which of my communities needs more activity, then go out and find a potentially suitable image from danbooru or pixiv to post.
Also working on the ability to give it just a danbooru/pixiv artist id, and then go through and queue upp all their work, instead of copy pasting a link to each one I wanna share. And to also then remember the artist and periodically check if they've posted more art.
The goal is to make queueing up posts, sharing my favorite artists, finding and curating new ones, as easy as swiping through some tinder profiles every day.

Good thing you don't have to spend a cent to enjoy looking at the focus-testing-refined weapons grade moe :D

I think a lot of the art of her would fit in [email protected] too.
I boycott gachas, but damn if blowing your budget on character design to make girls people will overspend rolling for doesn't result in some total cuties.

Marcy: stops slurping the corpse of an undine, essentially liquid mana, and looks up "what do you mean?"

Try doing a barrel roll while holding the power button. Or maybe it was the konami code on the flight stick...

Another chapter, another cookbook moment.
The manga does a good job illustrating the structure of the dungeon. And in this second chapter already, Chilchuck makes a comment that hints at how space within the dungeon gets a little fucky.
And the legendary Marcy disgust-face from episode one appears.

I love me some [email protected]
If you cross-post there, wait a couple more hours. Cross-posts de-duplicate in most clients, and don't share votes, so to avoid a post cannibalising it's own votes between communities, it's good to wait until the previous posts begins falling in the feed.

Love this one. I wanna give those ears a scritch while she shows me her latest pics.
