A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I mainly use imgur to upload screenshots using sharex, would appreciate being pointed in the direction of any alternative.

You can upload an image when creating a post by clicking on the small thumbnail icon at the bottom right of the file input

Some instances/servers are currently not capable of uploads larger than ~100kb, so a good image CDN is desired.

I also feel like lots of people uploading images directly to an instance's servers put a lot more strain on them - especially at a time where most servers are experiencing serious growing pains and may not really have the funds to keep expanding their storage. They're not ad supported like places like Reddit are.

I think it would be courteous of us to try and spread it out a bit and use services specifically intended for and set up for image hosting.

you can also copy and image and paste it straight into the text box, it will upload and embed the image:
