  • With "force full-size thumbnails" disabled (the default) most thumbnails fail to load

  • With "convert to webp" enabled (the default) most images fall to load in app, but work in an external browser

As an aside, is there an "open external" anywhere when viewing an image? It used to be in the three dot menu, but I don't see it now.

But also it's a magical curse from Molag Bal.

Though the metaphysics of TES are weird enough that it's not really safe to assume anything has the same underlying cause as it would in the real world (e.g. sunlight comes from another dimension through a tear in space). So maybe all diseases are actually curses in the setting.

Windows 3.1 was only like 7 disks.

The giant pile of floppies was Windows 95, at more than 100. And the Windows 98 upgrade CD. would ask for a random one several times during a clean install, so we had those things for a while.

As for showing my actual age, when I was a kid my dad bought an Amstrad PC1512, a mostly DOS machine with two 5.25" floppy drives and no hard drive.

Also, what's the point of a murder mystery where the detective literally does nothing until the case solves itself?

The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor.

 

It used to be that pressing the back button while in the settings menu would take you back to where you were before. For the last several versions, it would instead unceremoniously exit the app. I see from the notes for 271 that an exit prompt has been added, seemingly cementing what I would have considered the root bug. (i.e. that it exits at all rather than just going back)

So how are we supposed to leave the settings menu if not the back button?

Not a fan of Empire Strikes Back?

I thought I was an autonomous collective.

That's because truth is an absolute defense in libel and slander cases.

On occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

A meme can definitely crack an egg, though.

Revealed spoiler text appears at first to be blank. Highlighting reveals that it's there, just the same color as the background.

Edit: this is in 120
