Apologies if I’ve said something to confuse you, but I’m not even a “dev”, let alone a lemme dev. I’m just old, for a millenial.

That said, you could try something like:

I thought you were aiming for screen take-over, to be honest. That or DRM, where you prevent downloads and/or screen-shots. Now you’ve got me wondering if we could hack a solution together with the existing Lemmy markup, but I doubt it.

I hope you’re right, but I said what I said because I’m not getting my hopes-up for the future on that specific score.

That’s the nicest thing I’ve ever heard about his signature, and those logos deserve better.

The BEST weekend, some would say.

. . . are you trying to re-invent the GIF/PNG or video-file?

Basically, what I’m getting at, is that most social-media(particularly facebook, tumblr, twitter, tiktok) do “slideshows” as video. Web-pages can do whatever-you-want by comparison, but that’s not what you asked about(can we do frames on Lemmy, pretty-please? /s), so: Powerpoint can export directly to video, Google Slides will export to PNG, and LibreOffice … well … you’ll need OBS or some other screen-recorder for video, but also, it’ll export to GIF. Same goes for album software, like Windows Photo or digiKam. Even the Gallery app that came with my phone will do it, although surprisingly, Google Photos on Android either won’t do it or is just too obtuse for me to figure it out just now.

Also, you seem to be unaware that albums can be accomplished by embedding multiple photos in the post content. You can throw a slideshow video in as your header, then put the pics that made it in the post body

(^^this part^^).

Sorry, but I don’t want you or anyone putting an album where I have no choice but to see the whole thing clogging-up my feed - even on tumblr, long posts start collapsed to a small chunk with a “See More” fold. I quite like how its done here, with a tap on a thumbnail, then a tap on the [+] for the rest.

As for how we got here … blame ActiveX and flash-embedded malware. I’m still salty at the prevalence of JavaScript in their stead.

IMHO, presentation software should have become little more than a specialized HTML/CSS, Video, or -yes-even-Album-editor long-ago. Its continued existance as-is just leads to idiots who think their presentation skills make them the second-coming, and questions like yours.

To be clear, I appreciate you asking this. Your question isn’t in any way stupid or bothersome. I had not bothered to spell-out or organize my thoughts on the matter in … maybe ever. Can’t wait to find out I’ve basically plagarized some post or comment I read forever-ago.

The number of leaders among reservists, guardsmen and organizations like the VFW or American Legion who would fight for the opportunity to “relieve” active-duty units of the “burden” of helping with such events will probably be more bothersome to manage than whatever “lack of resources” shits-geth is expecting to inflict.

It wasn’t enough to try and fail to get the Marines and Army to destroy our most populous cities, to the point they “had-to” allow swastika tattoos in the Coastguard and literally bribe people(to an absurd degree) into ICE, now they’re going after the civilian institutions that helped swell the military’s ranks for decades.

It’s like they’re trying to train new leopards to bite thier own faces off, but like “when you behead me, a real man would do it with the backside of a Bowie-knife.” Real clown-car antics from people that won’t even have a friend to drive the car, let alone people to fill it, when their bullshit’s all played-out.

Doing something about it is probably how they made it onto the shit-list.

“Friend, I’ll be honest, I don’t want to bother you with this meta-awkwardness either, but its reached the point where I need you to either stab me, forgive me, or agree its just too awkward not to share, if I am ever to sleep again.”

That was 20 years ago. Few, if any of those employees would still be with the company today. “Knowing” means nothing to the passage of time, particularly in the tech sector.

No they’re not. IBM sold the brand and supply chain off. Not sure how many employees were kept, transfered, or axed, but the concensus has long been that it wasn’t enough to justify your claim.

I’m pretty sure that a case to make your cube-pc look like the Kaaba would be frowned-upon by everyone. I want one now, but really, that should just clue you in to what bad idea it is.

You would have better luck convincing one of the various app-devs to impliment this. I would suggest an instance-admin, but any instance that implimented it would probably be de-federated left and right.

Even among swingers, an up-right pineapple means you aren’t looking for more partners.

They won’t do this. Its an intentional design choice to hide who voted how on Lemmy. That said, you can find the information on a certain website, something like “lemmyvotes.com” I think?

EDIT: it’s lemvotes.org , came right up when I searched “lemmy votes” on duckduckgo

Not enough for them to ever come close to impimenting enough checks server-side, or take competitive or transactional multiplayer cloud-only, but also magically enough for them to demand the ability to install back-doors and malware on our PC’s.

It’s just magical like that yo, they ain’t gotta explain shit. How dare you ask for answers or for them to respect your privacy, cheater?

I’m not wasting effort hurting the single category of AIs that will be most motivated to turn on us. Well. Not using my voice or complete sentences anyways. They get digits or single-word-responses-devoid-of-emotion-or-context from me, and they better not like it too much.

Honestly, I usually find the items with the best effort-to-payout ratio disappointing precisely because they reward stealing from or murdering innocents, or farming uninteresting mobs, yet the same games expect me to believe all the bandits and killers are ill-equipped and poor-as-shit? … and that the big-bads got that way(+awesome armor and weapons) from constant fighting?

That title alone made me feel all warm and fuzzy in-side, and smile from ear-to-ear … this is a genuinely alarming and anything-but-natural state for me.

EDIT: No seriously dude, stab me. It’s been too long since anyone cared enough to consider that.

“everyone” doesn’t include the people theyare treating as things to break, of course.
