overview for morphballganon

Looking at the blown-up thumbnails while waiting for the full-size images to load is pretty uncomfortable for my eyes... they search for detail that isn't there yet, and get strained. If there was an option to just see a spinning wheel or similar, I'd choose it in a heartbeat. Alternatively, displaying the image line by line as it loads (slow scan from top to bottom) would be even better, as it would allow me back out before loading the whole thing.

Upgrading my phone fixed a couple of issues I had with Connect (mtgzone.com)

I just upgraded from a Galaxy J7 to a Pixel 3, which seems to have fixed the following problems:

Clicking on my profile shows me someone else's profile
Refreshing immediately after changing profiles results in no block list being applied

So, it seems those issues were specific to older hardware.

I am still seeing the issue where trying to save redgifs videos in-app only saves a stub file instead. Though, seeing as redgifs made their videos unsaveable in browsers, maybe this is due to deliberate site shenanigans. Voyager seemingly also can't do this. Though, Voyager doesn't download anything at all, as opposed to Connect's stub files. If the resulting file is non-functional, I think saving nothing would be better, ideally with an error message saying the file could not be saved.

(Solved) Saving videos in-app saves a 259-byte stub file instead (mtgzone.com)

I mentioned this in a comment but I figured it would get lost there.

The recent update means redgifs videos now load (yay) but reveals a new problem: videos cannot be saved in-app. Attempting to do so (with file permissions enabled) instead saves a tiny file with the same name, but none of the data.

As redgifs disallows saving from their site in-browser, this effectively makes redgifs content unsaveable.

Any solution or workaround would be appreciated.

Thoughts on having more than one non-barriered sexual partner (mtgzone.com)

Hello everyone. I recently learned there are a handful of people in my community who engage in non-barriered intercourse by default (sex with multiple partners without condoms).

I try to keep to only one non-barriered partner, to minimize any STI spread that may occur. Though testing is important, there are risks that 1. A test may be wrong, and 2. An infection can be introduced and spread after a successful clean test.

Also, my partner has a history of getting BV if her non-barriered partner(s) have other non-barriered partners. So, we keep it to only one non-barriered partner (for intercourse).

Any thoughts on this? Is it ethical to have more than one? Is it sustainable to only have one?
