Most of the image issues should be fixed now. I can confirm they're fixed in Safari both on desktop and mobile. Also firefox on Mac.

This is maybe a stupid question but for folks using GrapheneOS to avoid the likes of Apple and Google, what do they use for cellular service? It would seem to me that you’re still eligible to lose some privacy by using a cellular provider?

ᕦ(ò_óˇ) Day 17 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens.

Went to the calisthenics park.

Did some less inclined push-ups this time. But could only do all 10 once. Then I was only able to do 5 and had to do the remaining as usual. But I noticed that it's bringing me much closer to my limit without being too hard which is good.

I also replaced frog squats with jumps by only trying to jump as far as I can. Not sure how this exercise is called but I used to do this when I did some HIIT workouts regularly.

I noticed that my core is still a bit sore. So I skipped knee raises again. Also, I did some planking after the supermans at the end and I really struggled during the last 45 seconds (did 2x45s + 2x15s breaks before). My whole body was shaking, lol

I notice how basically every exercise I do requires my core.

118 sats \ 2 replies \ @carlosfandango 2 Oct 2023

Yeah. No engaged core & weak exercise benefit I’m afraid… Great effort though. Careful on the jumps when you are landing - no slipping. Try alternating far with jumping high and super soft landing.

Started a 21-day challenge in which I aimed to learn something new about Bitcoin or interact with its ecosystem every day. I would also record my progress on Stacker News.

Day 8 - I love Stacker News because it gives me real-life accounts of how people are living the Bitcoin Standard. So I came across the Xapo debit card here and went to find out more about it. It seems that even though I’m from Singapore, I can apply for it. Very tempted to do so one of these days!

Now I’m confused. What’s a homeless resident? Doesn’t the fact you are homeless suggest you are not a resident in a house? And isn’t one of the advantages of being homeless that you can literally live anywhere… so why hang around San Fran?

A Gary is any unaccountable / unexplained / unidentified mound.

Since everyone has a ‘Gary Glitter’ it could be anyone’s.

I think those people look at the whole city as their home. I am happy to hear the expansive definition of a Gary. I hope to help spread usage throughout the Northeast of the United States. Haven't thought about Mr Glitter for a while.

It seems its not showing photo preview anymore

what do you mean with preview?

It took few seconds to show the imiage after being posted

do you have click to load original image enabled in your privacy settings?

if not, did it show the raw link first?

when you load a page, the client tries to detect which links are images. it looks at the URL and if it ends with an image extension, we assume it's an image. if not, we just try to load it as an image in the background. it shows the raw link during this time. i notice that myself sometimes.

so if a link was detected as an image, it tries to use the processed images first. if we didn't process them yet (we do that in the background now since it used to slow down posting and commenting), we fallback to the original image. we also fallback to the original image on error - again, assuming you don't have click to load original image enabled.

if you do, then we always show an image containing the text "processing ..." (if it's still processing) or "click to load" (if there was an error with the processed images) first. you can click both images to load the original image.

regarding the loading, we don't have a "loading" image or anything else to show that it's loading. i tried to do something like that but that was another whole story on top of fixing the processing and fullscreen, lol

so i left that out for the next iteration :)
