- Comment on IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default. 6 days ago:
Ah, good shout, thanks I’ll do that 👍
- Comment on IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default. 1 week ago:
Maybe, although it’s multiple people, so seems like it wouldn’t be a camera fault.
Possibly it’s how they are getting to me - I don’t get them directly, they come to via someone else, and I think the someone else may be getting them via WhatsApp (which I don’t use).
So in fact it’s maybe the compression from WA, rather than an issue with HEIC? I should have thought of that before!

Maybe they’re doing something else to their files then, but seriously they are grainy as hell.
- Comment on IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default. 1 week ago:
Yeah I hate this too - one of my clients regularly supplies images as HEIC files and they are always crappy to work with. Plus the images just seem much lower quality, which is a problem when they are being used for professional purposes.
- Comment on Is there a 'ama' sub? 1 week ago:
No problem!
- Comment on Is there a 'ama' sub? 1 week ago:
There’s one at !askmeanything@lemmy.ca :-)
- Comment on Many TV stations put a banner ad in the picture these days 2 weeks ago:
Ha, I bet :-)
- Comment on Many TV stations put a banner ad in the picture these days 2 weeks ago:
I thought the strip across the bottom was called a chyron? Not heard it referred to as a bug before (not saying you’re wrong though).
- Comment on Is there any reason to use the "new" sorting option on Lemmy, except to filter spam? 3 weeks ago:
I always sort by New, but I also only use Subscribed, rather than All. So it’s an up to date list of topics in my curated interest areas.
- Comment on When did we stop saying "things are fire" to "things are cold"? 4 weeks ago:
Alright, alright, alright, alright…
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
That’s a good point, actually. I hadn’t thought it through enough.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
To be fair to those people (which, I really don’t want to be), I’m pro-choice but strong against the death penalty. So I guess it swings both ways.
- Comment on Is Liz Cheney seriously Dick Cheney's daughter? Why is she so old? Isn't that impossible? 1 month ago:
Do your own research.
- Comment on Is Liz Cheney seriously Dick Cheney's daughter? Why is she so old? Isn't that impossible? 1 month ago:
Dick Cheney - January 1941
Liz Cheney - July 1966 - Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 1 month ago:
You maniac, you made up! God damn you all to hell!!
- Comment on I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten. 1 month ago:
Yep, and thanks, I should have done that myself. Although setting that up as the default search takes a little more detail.
- Comment on I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten. 1 month ago:
Not sure if this will help for that specific search but I recently discovered a change that you can make to your browser’s search defaults that makes Google search a lot better (for me at least)

- Comment on Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? 1 month ago:
Oh wow, that’s great, I didn’t realise it was back on the agenda - thanks a lot! 👍
- Comment on Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? 1 month ago:
Yeah, but I don’t think it’ll open it in the way I want, with only the site content, and no browser furniture. I’ll try it, but I’m not sure. Cheers though 👍
- Comment on Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? 1 month ago:
Thanks, but I’ve already changed default to FF - the icons are Chrome shortcuts though, so they will only open in Chrome. And I can’t see a way to make equivalent ones for FF, it just doesn’t seem to have the same functionality, in particular opening a link in a window with no tabs, bookmarks of address bar. Although I am going to check out an add on someone suggested that might do the job.
Thanks though 👍

Oh wow - that add-on does look like exactly what I need. Will need to look into it a bit further, not least because of possible security issues, but thanks, that’s a really good lead! Appreciate it :-)

- Comment on Why does Facebook and Instagram still provides web interface when most of their users use the Android or IOS app? 2 months ago:
In addition to other reasons given, I see their web interfaces as recruitment methods.
People who don’t have the app can still click links which bring them to the FB/IG/Tw websites - and then that could be enough to get them interested enough to then go on and install the full app especially when they find out how restricted the websites are.
- Comment on If you have sex with a clone of yourself, is it incest? 2 months ago:
True. But you could adopt.

- Comment on This Google Photos popup 2 months ago:
Ugh.
- Comment on This Google Photos popup 2 months ago:
Can you tap outside the popup to make it go away? Or maybe swipe it down? Agree that Back should be enough, how annoying!
- Comment on (Win 10) Move all windows of a single programme to a different screen? 2 months ago:
Thanks for the advice - writing scripts is a bit outside my wheelhouse, but hell, maybe I’ve just never had a reason to learn, if someone hasn’t already. Much appreciated, cheers 👍
- Comment on (Win 10) Move all windows of a single programme to a different screen? 2 months ago:
Cool, thanks. I already use Power Toys, and had hoped it might have something, but sadly not.
Will check out those other two though, thanks a lot 👍
