A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

The aspect ratio! With some hard work and intensive empathy training I got over the vertical format being default, but when someone uploads a horizontal video to a vertical format site, and then you're trying to bring it to full screen on your also horizontal monitor... I could headbutt the monitor in.

I counted pixels once. It took up less than 10% of the display area. Just a fucking thick black (EDIT: or non-video regardless) "border" on 90+% of the monitor. And why? Because of one dipshit deciding they will consider horizontal screens nonexistent (while it's closer to natural, human vision). I can't even blame the uploader, sometimes they don't even know this use case isn't even handled.
