I do have a question regarding loops. Is this only an issue for me or does someone else experience the same?

If you upload a landscape video on the web UI it does look fine while uploading in all the previews. As soon as the upload is completed the video is getting shrunk down hard for the web making it nearly impossible to consume.

Anyone found a solution for that?

nope. this was recently changed. Older videos are not affected. Real shame but I guess it really wants very hard to be a TikTok clone. Portrait or die.

What a shame that does make the service unusable for me as I want to use it to share landscape short videos.

Hopefully it is getting changed back or adds a setting to allow such videos.

in reply to Xanatos

@bekopharm
Could be solved by adding a "is landscape" selection on upload. This would allow people to filter those videos out if the want.

Add a setting for each user if they want to see landscape videos as well or not. Just like the language filter on Mastodon works.

in reply to Xanatos

@bekopharm I get posts in languages I deselected all the time because they have tags I follow. Like how you're supposed to build your personal feed.
Language filtering in Mastodon doesn't work.
in reply to Yora

@yora that's funny. The other way around people would complain that following tags doesn't show everything 🤪

(also Lang isn't detected but set and not all Fedi software sets lang at all or the user set it wrong)

in reply to Xanatos

god damn it, and it crashed again. ffs. 70% of the time I try to upload any short there it just doesn't or dies or whatever and never am I told what the damn reason is. Getting _really_ tired of Loops. That rewrite seems to have made everything worse.
in reply to Beko Pharm

@bekopharm
Most upload issues I got was because my file was to large or it is longer than a minute.

But yeah a missing error message and no possibility to retry is really annoying. You need to start from scratch every time.

Also the description was shortened to 200 but the UI still uses 250 as a value.

Also I found no information where to create bug reports.

in reply to Xanatos

got all kinds of errors on the browser console but that are usually _wrong_ errors. Like character limit while the textbox says all good, or unsupported video codec (eh, h264???) or indeed "too long" on a 20s snippet.

This is totally broken.

in reply to Beko Pharm

@bekopharm Yeah it seems like the UI does not correctly reflect the settings of the instance ...

As you said textbox to long cause the backend is set to 200 but the UI shows 250 as a limit ...

It was much better a version before ...

in reply to Xanatos

found a pop-out button. That has a fullscreen button. Ah well. I tried (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

@bekopharm Yeah found that button as well. At least that should correct the video size, but I think they do shrink it on upload and stick with that file instead ...

But the service is not usable for the content I do upload with that limitation. Also as I said I have no clue how to report that "bug".

I tried tagging the creator directly but didn't get a response. Which is understandable but doesn't solve my issue at all.



Mario Kart 64 is a 1996 kart racing game for the N64. It is the second installment in the Mario Kart series after 1992's Super Mario Kart for SNES. 🏁

The game was intended to be released alongside the N64 itself in mid-1996 but was delayed after development resources were directed towards Super Mario 64, itself a launch title for the system. 🗓️

Mario Kart 64 sold 9.87 million copies worldwide, making it...

Super!!!

Lass uns so anfangen: Öffne das App-Menü im Smartphone. Finde das Icon mit dem Telefonhörer in der grünen Sprechblase.

@mondstern Ich glaube hier ist WhatsApp gemeint. Ich war aber auch erst verwirrt. Zumal das nichts direkt mit Windows/Linux zu tun hat.



Ab Sonntag gilt auch im Norden der neue Fahrplan der Deutschen Bahn. Auf den Strecken mit hoher Nachfrage zwischen den großen Städten wird es mehr und schnelleren Zugverkehr geben. Dafür werden an anderer Stelle Fahrten weggelassen, weswegen Pro Bahn vor allem in Niedersachsen "mehr Schatten als Licht" sieht.

Mit Wero gibt eine europäische Alternative zum Bezahlen mit PayPal, die sich rasant verbreitet. Das ist noch viel zu unbekannt, wie ich finde.

trying to reduce human behaviour with genetic arguments while humans are cultural beings is a misconception.
in reply to Contraquestão

@Contraquestão To believe humans will do what their genetic predispositions tell them not to because someone else, i.e., culture tells tells them otherwise is naive. You will get individuals who override their own genetic programming for a while, but these are by in large going to be the unsuccessful, and not the rich or those aspiring to be that this policy attempts to target. And when dealing with mate choices you're not just dealing with genetics you're also dealing with matters of the heart, another human area that has proven less than malleable.
