Ah I see. It wasn’t just that you were legitimately questioning the comic. You’re a troll. Glad you made that clear for everyone.

Considering it’s not obscure, it makes it seem like you’re trying to act pretentious about the subject of a simple comic. Not great optics for you.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Should you even expect to know who I am? It’s not like I’m a celebrity or contribute to the same level as The Picard Maneuver et al.

I try to be less of a stickler and more of an advocate by providing the higher quality version instead of just complaining.

But why would that be a bad thing? 🙁

Love to see the comic in full quality and no compression artifacts 🤌

Shouldn’t it be more important to reduce the amount of water usage to as little as possible? Southern California is all dessert and is constantly in a draught.

I guess I have trouble groking the difference between “liberal” and “leftist”.

Could someone summarize?

OP updated the image

Yeah, I did it all on phone as well. The one you posted isn’t bad, there’s just a bit of compression artifacts around the edges of the lines. Since you linked the author’s website, I thought that you likely had shared the image directly from there. So, I did a quick copy/paste directly from the site and posted here without saving the file to my phone. The resulting file is a png without compression artifacts. I definitely learned what I was curious about.

In this case it’s the same server as OP. I figured it was a good test.

Testing to see if Lemmy is compressing uploaded images to lower quality

Since you’re going to childishly talk about me and infer something that is entirely false, I’m going to step in here.

First, you claim it’s “a convenient shorthand”, except “middleman” is far shorter than “man-in-the-middle”. So that argument is entirely false.

Next, “nothing that I wrote misrepresents the situation”? You literally linked the Wikipedia article for “Man in the middle attack”, but conveniently left out the word “attack” both when referring to it and in the link itself which redirected to the actual Wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack.

You are clearly intentionally misrepresenting the subject in order to frame things to suit your narrative. That’s not just a claim out of nowhere, I provided evidence to support this.

And get out of here with your pathetic “like most of my colleagues” pretentious attitude.

omg that bar that kicked me out for being a belligerent asshole has stopped being a bar and now they’ve become the police. They have too much power!

Oookay. I wasn’t actually claiming you were talking out of your ass. I was explaining that without backing up your claims with information, then that would be the conclusion.

Since you are refusing to do so, and since you seemed to identify with that, along with clearly conflating the two terms to suit your narrative. I can now say it’s safe to assume that you are talking out of your ass. Especially considering the first part of your response reeks of arrogance.
