As Dirt_owl I fully endorse this decision

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

i refuse to actually look at anyone's pfp, and most of you are dirt owl anyway

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

We did this on Dirt_Owl Day and it was brilliant

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Smh smh, do GIFs not work as pfps? 😭

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes they do, just don't ask how long it took sweat

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I uploaded the gif and it showed it animating in the little pfp but then after pressing save and exiting options it just shows the first frame now

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It's 100% a black art. You need to upload as webp instead of gif, a square, dimensions a power of 2, Venus rising, milk and cookies (because all this work is tiring), and exported with the proper rites according to the Adeptus Mechanicus codex #118.

EDIT: I'm not even sure power of 2 is necessary lol. Mine isn't!

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Ok I got it working but it's kind of fucked up now and has weird grey squares in it

Edit: just to test I'll see if it acts the same way here:

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah........... sadness

It took a few different tries at resizing and exporting to get it sort-of ok.

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

have you tried using ezgif?
https://ezgif.com/webp-maker
there are repair tools for gifs, converts to webp, also optimisations to reduce file size

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I tried it and somehow it got worse shatter

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Making it smaller by changing the file dimensions seems to make it render correctly.

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thanks for the help but it still seems to be happening for some reason

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hm, it looks like you're right. I don't know what's causing it. Hexbear is doing something to the image on the backend after it's uploaded that causes these blocking artifacts.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sigh. I changed my profile picture for troubleshooting purposes, and now when I try to change it back to my signature rotating hammer and sickle I get an error code on that specific image and I just can't get it working again no matter what I do. guts-rage What the fuck is going on in the backend code.

[–] CriticalOtaku@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I tried to switch back to the bocchi pfp I used when we got pfp's and it doesn't work now either lol

[–] Tastysnack@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I like it, looks intentional like you made it all glitchy.

[–] ElGosso@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

How though?

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

It’s a nice photograph of Christopher Lloyd.

It's actually Steve Jobs at the moment when he found out he had cancer

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

[–] Cummunism@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Profile pictures turned off gang represent. No liberal's gonna ever put pictures into my brain without my express permission. The rest of you will be sorry when the CIA wises up to this place and uses a cognitohazardous image like the parrot in profile images to jack into your mind and turn you into brainwashed wraiths of the empire

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

(neat sci fi short story for context on “the parrot”)

[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

uses a cognitohazardous image like the parrot

That's ridiculous

They know their target, the cognitohazardous image they'll generate will be based on the bunny cop

[–] huf@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

you can turn them off? hot diggity!

profile pictures are revisionist, no i will not elaborate.

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

nothing can ever top deaugh fish for me

[–] Tastysnack@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Edit: Lmao reconsidered

[–] Commiejones@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

I thought we did that by all changing for dirt owl day

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

I will only switch pfps with @Alaskaball@hexbear.net

[–] CriticalOtaku@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago
