JD probably longs to be turned into leather to be closer to his one true love.

Unfortunately for JD that particular piece of furniture has a restraining order out against him.

Finally! It's been a long time since we passed reasonable laws. Maybe this is the sea change we've been looking for.

The Presiding Committee kindly reminds delegates and observers to refrain from voicing or by other means indicating their approval or disapproval of the amendment during the Constitutional Assembly or any amendments to the amendment unless they have been selected by the Chair to speak for or against the amendment before the Assembly or any of the amendments to the amendment.

Sorry! Forgot my "/s" there.

This is unfair, JD has so many faces that he can wear a new one each time.

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 10 points 9 months ago

Are you moving an amendment to the amendment to limit the number of faces that can be severed from the Vice President to one single face and furthermore that all other severed faces of the Vice President are to be discarded and cannot be kept in storage to be worn at the end of the fourth presidency?

Hey boss. What are you doing with that knife?

The Presiding Committee kindly reminds Vice President Vance that Exhibit A. Knife of the President of the United States is only a replica for the purposes of demonstrating the ceremonial and legal process of flaying and wearing the severed face of their Vice President and in no way represents a threat to the life, bodily organ or face of Vice President Vance.

Only if the 2nd term president does the skinning himself.

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago

The Presiding Committee advises delegates that a new amendment to the amendment has been submitted from the floor, and that the amended amendment can be read below with the amended text in bold:

The US Constitution will allow a second-term President who flays and skins their Vice President and wears their severed face as a mask to serve a third and fourth term in office.

Side note: why can’t I find more of pictures of Kristi Noem from South park when I search. Everyone needs to share these images more. Make them as common as the Vance memes

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I found plenty. I took a screenshot of a google search but it fails to upload in the comments here at the moment.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I was trying to find the one of her face sliding around the ground

Side note: this is something I’m trying to figure out rn, but I know for certain that Lemmy gif uploads will fail if they are too wide. It’s unclear to me if non animated images will auto compress or fail when too big

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It could be up to each instance owner/sydamin. No idea.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

So I actually kinda know what I'm talking about, but not really:

  • Lemmy uses pictrs to handle image uploads
    • I know from experience that pictrs will fail on gif upload if max width is greater than PICTRS_MEDIA_ANIMATION_MAX_WIDTH and same for height and (I think) animation frame count
    • It's less clear to me if static images get auto compressed on upload. Looks like pictrs implemented this a couple years ago, but I'm not sure if this is automatic behavior or has to be turned on by Lemmy admins.
    • I haven't messed around with limits for image dimensions other than the settings for animated media, but I'm planning on testing this on my instance soon.
  • Lemmy API image upload
    • 0.19.x has all images uploaded via the same API endpoint. So I think any image uploaded should be subject to the same dimension and size limits.
    • In the upcoming Lemmy v1 release, this might change as I believe they will have different upload endpoints for avatar, banner, post, etc. Avatars, for example, might be subject to smaller dimension limits. This is all subject to change as Lemmy v1 is not released yet.
  • Lemmy API getting the image upload limit settings
    • 0.19.x does not expose the image upload limits via the API. So whatever, for example, lemmy.world set's their limits to, there isn't an easy way for a Lemmy frontend to look up those limits.
    • In the upcoming Lemmy v1 release, I believe they are planning on adding a way to look up these limits via the API.
  • Other limits
    • Lemmy imposes it's own rate limits on how many images you can upload/time period. I wanna say the default is roughly 6 images/hour, but I might be totally wrong there.
    • I'm also curious how many sever admins leave the default settings, or change them.

TL;DR, what does this all mean?

  • Uploading gifs is always going to be a little annoying as they don't auto compress. As a server admin, I just set the dimension limits higher so users encounter errors on fewer images
  • Non animated images, I'm guessing are automatically compressed on upload. Otherwise I suspect many more people would be complaining about failed uploads. But I'm working on verifying this

Just to be extra safe – and also here’s why I know all this – I've chosen to auto compress images on upload in my own Lemmy/PieFed frontend to 1mb and 1000 max width/height, whichever comes first. I'm actively testing these settings.

Non animated images, I’m guessing are automatically compressed on upload. Otherwise I suspect many more people would be complaining about failed uploads. But I’m working on verifying this

There does seem to be options in pictrs to compress images by format, I'd assume that having these unset (default) would mean no compression happens. I think the reason there isn't any complaining about image uploads happening is because, by default, they don't have constraints applied to them. Only animation (256x256 dimension limit) and video (max 20 MiB file size) have constraints put on them in pictrs by default, though there is a 20 MiB upload limit set in nginx.

Lemmy imposes it’s own rate limits on how many images you can upload/time period. I wanna say the default is roughly 6 images/hour, but I might be totally wrong there.
I’m also curious how many sever admins leave the default settings, or change them.

feddit.uk has its set to 2 every 5 minutes. I think a previous admin set that, but it seems sensible enough.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks! I think I’m just going to upload progressively larger images to my instance and see where uploads fail lol.

Yeah I have an account over there too. It's all the dang fediverse after all, and figuring out how to navigate this place is a pain in the ass - the only thing worse is trying to deal with the extremely creepy "oh nice!" bot traffic on reddit. Have you seen that shithole lately? It's wild.
