So, I am one of those old school types who mains with Firefox and Noscript. And also a filthy casual that just goes on lemmy.world. But half the images are broken because I’m expected to allow scripts on like 30+ sites to see most of the posts. I’m literally expected to allow /all/ the scripts from a domain just so I can see a dang picture behind the thumbnail. That’s the entirety of the scripting needed. That seems ridiculous. Is there, I don’t know, a server/way that makes it so I don’t have to blanket allow all these scripts? To put it in meme form (not sure I’m doing it right, never seen the show): “It’s an image of a banana Michael, what should it take, one Raspberry Pi running Docker?”

    the thumbnails now are even more clearly 4-pixel potatoes

    pictrs’s thumbnail parameter uses dumb raw pixel sampling – which leaves something to be desired… It has other sampling options implemented (with resize, according to the docs), but they don’t seem to accessible on my instance. You can remove thumbnail=96 if you want to get the image without that thumbnail sampling, at least.

    make everything zoom 150%

    I do this with my browser’s UI (ctrl-plus keyboard shortcut in FF-based browsers works for me).

    e.g. right side bar

    [...document.querySelectorAll(".side")].forEach(sidebar => sidebar.remove())

    You could also just adblock the element with class side.

      remove thumbnail=96 Hey, that sounds like a great idea, I bet I could add that to ublock origins. And, yeah, zoom via ctrl plus is what I do (I’m not sure if it is remembered between sessions). As for the side bar, it does not bother me, it was just as an example of what an extension theoretically could do. Honestly, another extension should not be needed. Instead a lemmy /c/ or other repository for user hacks would be nice that you could put into ublock origins or other DOM manipulator. That removing thumbnail sampling looks awesome, will try it out next time I’m on desktop.
