    Is there any reason you can’t make the model in two separate pieces instead, with the floor and sides as one print, and the roof as another print, to either be glued or clipped together?

    I’d think that would avoid the warping problem altogether, plus save wasted filament. Though in all fairness, it would still be nice to learn what’s causing the warping anyways, for sake of future prints…

    GIMP, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc all seem to have no problem rendering images with a transparency on top of a checkerboard background layer by default

    You know you can layer that transparent image on top of another background, or just simply another solid color. You gotta ask, what is the intent of rendering the image in question?

    • Is it to render an internal UI component, such as a button or emoji? If so, use the UI background color as the transparency background.

    • Is it to render an external source image, such as the Wiki post? Then either use whatever background color is encoded in the transparency image, or if that data isn’t available, default the background of transparency images to white.

    This has nothing to do with HTML. This has to do with rendering images, especially when you know your platform will be rendering images that sometimes have transparency.

    When you know your app/program/website/platform is going to be rendering images that sometimes have transparency, then the background color is not a fucking option!

    The background color behind transparent images should never be connected with the user interface color scheme, the background behind transparent images should always be white.

    So this is a long standing problem with UI designers, it ain’t got shit to do with HTML, it’s just that the principles of a good GUI went out the window long ago and GUI developers lost all common sense.

    Oh, your comment is definitely not an empty comment.

    At first I tested tapping the link within Jerboa, no dice. I just got the Invalid Format error.

    So, I decided to download the ‘document’ to my tablet, to investigate it. Turned out, it downloaded an HTML file with PDF extension.

    In hindsight, it doesn’t inherently seem like a problem with Jerboa, more like a problem with the bait and switch link from justice.gov, swapping a PDF link with an HTML document. The HTML is a script to simply ask if you’re 18 years of age or older.

    But the script doesn’t work when force-fed into a PDF reader, which my tablet isn’t even configured for, but Jerboa seems to be forcing it to open a PDF reader, without even giving me the option to open with another app.

    Still, especially in the current times, I’m pretty sure that people would like access to these documents, without the file format mistranslation when tapping a link on the screen…
