@#56802 Unrelated to the question, but if you have control over the source, consider using another format than png. If you can export to pdf, svg or similar, you will have much better quality for this type of graphic than if you use a pixelated format like png (more) |

@#56802 I determined the coordinates by simple trial and error. With a bit of experience, this gets very fast, I think it took something like 4 tries per coordinate. (more) |

Your question does not contain enough information. Do you have other backups of the videos or are they the only backups? How important are they for you? Just a nice to have or would it be a catastrophe if you'd lose them? Also does the speed of your computer bother you? (more) |

It might also be worth having a look into the browser console (on Firefox `shift+cmd+J`) in case some error is shown there. Do offline videos work when this happens? For example does the video preview in finder still work or does Quick Time still work? (more) |

"You don't [mention] any advantages of "cross posting"." None of these advantages are tied to copying posts verbatim.

"And I didn't know imgur can be blocked!" That's kind of the problem.

Not a general solution, but for ddg in particular, you can activate dark mode in the settings https://powerusers.codidact.com/uploads/xhHDK7vsMuLsEwGvmZJomBvd or https://powerusers.codidact.com/uploads/C5ezLhewXtfawvLdxJocTTAs

ohh, it looks like I can simply remove the problematic modules from `.zcompdump`
If I remove the offending entries about latex from the function
