Yeah... Just wow. I disabled pictrs and deleted all its images, which also means all my community images/uploaded images are gone, and it's more of a hassle to see other people's images, but in the end I think it's worth it.

Through caching every image pictrs was also taking up a massive amount of space on my Pi, which I also use for Nextcloud. So that's another plus!

Or worse, "Why should I switch to Firefox? Everybody's complaining about the performance of Firefox compared to Chrome, but Chrome just works for me."

Blissfully unaware of the kind of power you're giving Google over the Internet by using their browser. I once had an experience where someone tried to use this to push me back to using Chrome.

A bit of reverse image searching reveals this was the original XKCD comic (more specifically, the top middle panel): https://xkcd.com/1269/

pict-rs, the software Lemmy uses to upload media by default, is a bit wack right now so people usually get around this (and some other issues) by uploading to sites like files.catbox.moe or postimages.org (the former of which can upload any media while the latter can only do images/gifs). I recommend checking that out - it can come in handy sometimes!

I remember managing to get this issue solved on my computer. Looks like a QT issue. I may not remember exactly how I fixed it, but try the solutions in this thread and see if it works: https://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34104

In particular run export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 and then run LMMS from the same terminal.

Also in response to other comments, LMMS is actively being worked on (though updates have been slow) -- the last commit on the master branch was from 3 days ago, so that suggests that the project isn't abandoned but development's just rolling slowly.

They don't! The first site I linked doesn't have a time limit, and for the second one, you can choose whether or not to give files one.

Don't forget people on single user instances too! It feels pretty good watching drama and not having to worry about how this affects me.

Firefox sorta does! If you only use tab groups (or profiles for that matter) to separate school tabs from work and personal tabs, I recommend giving the Multi-Account Containers extension a look.
