Threats and promises are your guiding principles? in c/atheism@lemmy.world
[–] 10 points 1 month ago (7 children)

We're taking about morally good and bad here.

Killing people in self defense might be necessary, but that doesn't make it good.

Killing people is morally bad, even if it's someone no one in their right mind would hesitate to murder if given the opportunity, like Putin.

    Yeah, and the Roman Empire lasted until 1453, but that doesn't mean what people think of when they say Roman Empire didn't collapse in 476 (and the Byzantine Empire in 1204).

    Whatever's left of the USA in a few decades might call itself USA (well, one or two bits of it might, others most definitely won't), but it evidently won't be the USA as we understand it today, and neither would any hypothetical future union or coalition of those fragments.

    Given the vast number of people who are currently also suffering from CEO-induced extreme emotional disturbance, the bastards should be shitting their pants in abject terror right now...

    Seriously. Just empty a bag of rice on the ground in front of a vampire and then tell me how cool and terrifying it is.

    Do it inside of your door without inviting it in for extra measure, so the damn thing has to try to count the grains without coming in, and It'll be stuck there until the sun comes out and it burns to ash.

    Comment text size appears to be random (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
     

    Bug Report

    Describe the issue:

    The font size of the comments appears to be random (see attached screenshot).

    The global and comment font size settings don't seem to have any effect.

    It doesn't seem to correlate with comment length, depth, age, score, or any other variable I can think of.

    I just updated the app and it's still happening.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open a post's comments.
    2. Scroll. Unfold folded comments.
    3. Notice the rich variety of font sizes.
    4. Struggle to read the smaller ones because you're not as young as you used to be.

    Bug Report

    Describe the issue: Images are loaded at extremely low resolution.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Find a post with an image, preferably with text.
    2. Touch it to open it full screen to see the details or read the text.
    3. Observe the meagre amount of pixels (see example above).
    4. Squint to try to read the text.
    5. Fail due to pixel insufficiency.
    6. Despair.
    7. Touch “open external” to open the post on the browser (https://mander.xyz/post/43475080 for the attached example).
    8. Open the image in the browser.
    9. Marvel at the difference in resolution compared to the one opened in the app.
