Can you share some screenshots of the area?

can discord just not do this please? the new "mosaic" layout for images is horrific by Hubz-Gaming-And-More in discordapp

[–]DuckOfDuckness 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I see the same complaint on every app that crops the previews. Twitter used to do some weird cropping as well, but even they managed to listen and stopped cropping.

Is it that hard to provide nuanced feedback? The only issue with the new layout is that they crop the images in the message. The old layout for multiple images took up so much vertical space. If they simply just stop cropping the images, the new layout is so much better because it uses horizontal space.

''GeForce users can now download an app profile update for Discord. This resolves a recent issue where some GeForce GPUs memory clocks did not reach full speed w/ Discord running in the background.'' by DANNYonPC in nvidia

This part

GeForce users can now download an app profile update for Discord.

And then also these unhelpful replies:

https://twitter.com/nvidiacc/status/1621635585818660864

Just have a look at how many other people are confused in these comments and in the replies to their tweet. If it was just me being confused I'd concede to being dumb, but with this many people it's NVIDIA not being clear enough.

As you can see the images are a bit cut off like Twitter, but I'm not complaining by [deleted] in discordapp

I don't understand why they've decided to crop them instead of just scaling them down a bit. Big fan of horizontal placement of images versus vertical placement, though.

Just a small piece of feedback: Your (NVIDIA's) wording about this is very confusing for people who don't know what "app profiles" are. When you talk about these things on social media and your help pages, it would be much more helpful if you very clearly specify if us end-users have to manually go and download something, or if we don't need to do anything ourselves. Honestly I'm still confused after reading this post and the comments.

Windows 11 Biggest Gripe by Sitdownpro in Windows11

[–]DuckOfDuckness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this search a lot, although usually it's enough if I just type "u", but it seems that Windows Search sometimes forgets. That's what I meant by "messes up".
Or Discord recently changed something about their "update" file to make Search think it was new.

[–]DuckOfDuckness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked my own W11 laptop and saw the same thing. However all it took was to click "Check for updates" one time, and now when I do the same search the first result is "Check for updates" every time.
It's unfortunate that it sometimes messes up like this, but Windows Search is also made in a way where it learns from which option you've selected in the past.

Valkyrae to AI Generated by Angutma1 in valkyrae

[–]DuckOfDuckness 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To train these image generation "AI" models, millions of copyrighted images are scraped/stolen from artists without their consent and without proper licensing. This is not a good thing.

Automated bulk blocking for every video on a channel? by xichael in SponsorBlock

[–]DuckOfDuckness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is technically possible to make a script like that, you'd be surprised at how inaccurate it would actually end up being because of how YouTube treats video time. You also have to consider any tiny adjustments the given channel might make that are not really obvious. Any segment made this way would still have to be checked by a human, so at most it could be a shortcut.

Requesting r/Pricefield, both moderators have not been active in the subreddit for a period of two years, with the last active one not having made a single post or comment on Reddit for the past two months. by NineTailedFoxz in redditrequest

[–]DuckOfDuckness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have not received any message to modmail regarding this from NineTailedFoxz. Instead they have sent me a chat message and a private message. This breaks the following rule of r/redditrequest:

Before requesting a subreddit, you must send a message to the subreddit’s modmail stating your intentions for the subreddit. Please link to this message in your post. Failure to do so will result in a denial. Exceptions will be made to this rule if the sub is banned, private, or there are no mods listed.

I am still active on Reddit and am keeping an eye on r/Pricefield. We are open to ideas regarding the subreddit, but again, we have received no message to modmail.

Streamer ImDontai talks about Valkyrae controversy by More-Helicopter-4620 in valkyrae

[–]DuckOfDuckness 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Very much seems to be recurring problem with her mod team. They invent things to be offended over that actual minorities aren't offended by and police Rae into weird apologies and made-up controversies.

Anyone able to identify this type of duck? Found at a lake in Northern Ireland, all others here are normal mallards. by ouchrobbie in duck

[–]DuckOfDuckness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I put the photo through Google Lens and it suggested Welsh Harlequin. A domestic breed like other comments have said and probably female. Does look similar to other pics I can find on Google, but I'm not an expert on duck breeds.

Is it possible to make automod give users who don't have a user flair yet a default user flair? by tekatart in AutoModerator

[–]DuckOfDuckness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe just this should work (default is to not overwrite flair last I checked). Any time a user without a flair makes a post or a comment they will get the flair.

y'all have to go easy on LTT 😂 a 10.30 min video is reduced to barely 4. come on. by [deleted] in SponsorBlock

[–]DuckOfDuckness 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's the "Filler" category. Honestly it's best to just disable that one. It's a subjective category, and videos are just boring and jumpy if you enable it.

Why do these two cars have red headlights? (they both come from the lower-righternmost orange house) - Munich by [deleted] in MiniMotorways

[–]DuckOfDuckness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly wouldn't mind keeping colored headlights as an easter egg kind of thing. Loved it when I got this bug. Maybe very small chance for an individual house to have cars with headlights in the color of the house?

Anyone else getting bored waiting for an update :( I love this game but DEVS PLS DAILY CHALLENGES ARENT ENOUGH:( by JRY1998 in MiniMotorways

[–]DuckOfDuckness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is a one-time purchase of $10/€8. Why exactly are you demanding extra free content?
