I found this a lovely little series, ostensibly meant for young Czech readers, but rather Grimm at times (as you can see).


(page 2)

I’m guessing the series was published in the ~1970’s. Happily for English-speakers, it was recently translated by one “Tomalakis.” So then, here’s 13 mini-chapters you can read:

    It’s incomprehensible how Imgur forces you to enable javascript in order to see their images.

        Ah, sweet. I see it also works for galleries, too.

        Couple things with that, tho: 1) the images are surprisingly tiny on that page, so it would be nice if they could at least ‘fit to width,’ 2) you can’t click on them to blow up, instead needing to right-click, opening image in new tab.

        The reason I bring those nitpicks up is because often I share a range of pages in a single Imgur gallery in order to make it easier for others to read a sequential story.

          Unfortunately I didn’t make it myself I’m just utilizing Rimgo may be worth making a feature request for it

      Sorry about that. Some of the images I post are too big for most Lemmy instances to host, and frankly, I’d rather not put that burden on them anyway.

      I did some testing just now, and if it helps, you only need to have Cloudfront and Imgur’s native suite of JS’s enabled. All others can be safely blocked, which has the nice side-benefit of blocking all ads and whatever other spam. (I use uMatrix extension)

      And TBF-- most significant sites require JS to be enabled, but with a selective script-blocker, you can cut out ~90% of the noise.

        Yeah, I use NoScript along with uBlock Origin, and I can get away with only enabling imgur.com.
