Legit one of the most underrated Firefox features that I use all the time: right-click -> Take Screenshot (or Ctrl+Shift+S). No need to look up the relevant node, just hover the relevant part with your cursor.

I mean if you are using windows couldn't you just snipping tool with print screen?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That doesn't align itself to the dimensions of an element. The screenshot thingy even allows you to screenshot past the visible area for scrollable pages

TIL, that's awesome to know

I miss the days when everything you saw on the internet was easily accessible in the temp folder, ready for you to rummage through.

Back when making a webpage was <TR>, <TD> and <TABLE>

Edit: HAAA, I can't put html tags in text! Even with escape characters! Edit2: I DID IT! I had to use the HTML-entity-codes!

You could've also used the

<table>
<tbody><tr>
<td>
code formatting option&lt;\blink>
&lt;\td>
&lt;\tr>
&lt;\table>

that is built into Markdown for, well, formatting code

Just put your text between these:
```

```

Look at your 'source' for this comment, did you notice that Lemmy seems to be adding closing tags to the end of it automatically? That makes me think there's some formatting that could be broken out of, doesn't seem to be handled all that well.

Is this higher quality than just screenshotting and dragging the box around it? Asking for a friend.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Depends how Firefox processes those screenshots, would be my guess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It wouldn't improve anything about the resolution or quality of the image you'd just get slightly more of the image. Seems like it would be useful in niche situations though.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Eh. I like imgflip a lot and their watermark is super unintrusive, so I leave it to support them. If it was a worse watermark I'd feel no qualms about going around it but it's small enough that I feel happy including it.

[–] Squorlple 8 points 10 months ago

click on “🕶 Add Image”

click on “Below”

select an arbitrary photo

create meme

click on “Generate Image”

the watermark is now on the arbitrary image that you added

crop out the added image and be left without a watermark

[–] tdawg 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you're doing that why not just find the link to the file host and download the image directly?

[–] Asudox 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

imgflip devs should've known better. Just adding a img element on another img element won't do. You gotta generate them together and add only one img element where the watermark is edited into the image. Too lazy to generate the appropriate image (with or without watermark) depending on users subscription status on the server side ig.

[–] leon_sm 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What percentage of people do you think care enough to remove it through the source code?

[–] Asudox 3 points 10 months ago

Less than 10%

[–] PP_BOY_ 1 points 10 months ago

The watermark adds to the meme's grittiness and punk-like attitude. I've even went to far as to add watermarks when making OC memes in GIMP.

[–] Custoslibera 1 points 10 months ago

I literally use the water dropper feature to make a coloured box to cover over watermarks embedded into the image itself.

Fuck watermarks and the people who make them.

[–] abuttifulpigeon 0 points 10 months ago

I just right-click and click "save image as" before the watermark is generated.

DIDN'T FUCKING NOW THAT YTDYUTLDYTUDY6TUD6ULDE6UYD

[–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Nah, the watermark makes the meme funnier
