I think there's a severe problem with this implementation. By using wrapping, I can't write "boobs" and have everyone else read my graffiti without them having having the same zoom wrapping point.
- CobrastanJorji 2y agoNo, no, it's a feature. Your message has been cleverly hidden behind a modern day scytale cipher. Intended recipients must know the correct screen width.

- moritzwarhier 2y agoThere's a link in the bottom-left corner, haven't checked, but reads like an accompanying reddit tool (since there's no real plugin system, guess it's a web app requiring credentials)
- tekknolagi 2y agoNo plugins, just HTML, no credentials
- moritzwarhier 2y agoCool! Sorry that my comment read like an accusation, should have clicked/tapped the link ;) Not following links is a bad habit easy to pick up on mobile.
- WildGreenLeave 2y agoOn iOS long pressing a link so it previews is very nice for these kind of things. I only wished you were able to scroll inside that popup/preview.
- TZubiri 2y agoThe idea of public canvases has been explored thousands of times: r/place, 1 million pixels,... This feels like something else, it's ok if it has its own identity, otherwise it devolves/converges into a place to draw dicks in.
- crdrost 2y agoIt's a rectangular grid. People aren't going to troll with dicks, but swastikas.
- falseprofit 2y agoVirtually all monitors are rectangular grids
- nomel 2y agoYou could sorta kinda claim that most OLED displays are not rectangular [1], since only green is at full resolution, with blue and red being at a partial resolution, by sharing those sub pixels between "logical" pixels.

- Macha 2y agoNote for anyone confused, this is about AMOLED displays commonly used in phones and some OLED laptops from a few years ago. W-OLED and QD-OLED have unconventional layouts compared to LCDs but every pixel has the complete set of sub pixels (RGB for QD-OLED, RGBW for W-OLED) so it looks more like this: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.displayninja.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F05%2FSamsung-QD-OLED-2023-Panel-Subpixel-Layout.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=a1edb3152fdeda8668749b14107cf73a51c669d54ddceabfd75de269dff48dee&ipo=images https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F... Just mentioning as while AMOLED phones being the majority of OLED displays seems plausible to me, it's likely not what people in this thread are picturing when they see OLED.

- crdrost 2y agoThis problem is traditionally solved by attempting to teach the aliens how to decode the pattern inside the pattern itself. For example a rendering might look like x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x _ _ x _ x _ x x x _ x _ x _ _ x _ x _ x x x _ x _ x _ _ x x _ _ x _ x _ x _ _ _ x _ x _ _ x _ x _ x _ x _ x _ x _ _ x x _ _ x x x _ x x _ _ x x x _ _ x x x _ x _ x _ x _ x _ _ x x _ _ x _ x _ x _ _ _ _ x _ _ _ _ x _ _ x _ x _ x _ x _ _ x x _ _ x _ x _ x x x _ _ x _ _ _ _ x _ _ x x x _ x x x _ _ x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x The idea is that the aliens can figure out first that these opening and closing sections have periodicity 30, and because they are so repetitive they do not contain the actual data bits, but then there is a central section which does contain complexity. So then they will hopefully alight upon the idea of looking at the code two-dimensionally, and adjust their browser width until the lines all line up, at which point they get the custom message.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoWouldn't it be slightly simpler to use a prime number of rows and columns?
- crdrost 2y agoSlightly, yes! The Arecibo message was 73×23 bits, with the hope that the aliens would break lines after 23 bits. But, i f . t h e s n e i l a . e s . l i k e . o r t s u o b p h e d o n . w . r e d r o e . a r e . k c s . a d n i r e w e d . o a . e h t . n r e c i b o . e g a s s e m . a n y w a y and that's to say nothing of spiraling orders etc.
- sdenton4 2y agoMorse code would do the trick! One check for short, two checks for long, two blanks for end-of-character.
- altairprime 2y agoThat sounds like a feature.
- some_random 2y agoThe other problem is that there are a bunch of people here running scripts to automatically erase anything you do in the name of checking every box
