You usually cant go wrong always picking the original resolution. Its the only version that wasn't resized.

Neither of the buttons says "original resolution".

That's fair but for me full-size = original-size. I assumed it was an existing synonym.

I couldnt think of an example where the full size is not equal to the original size of an image.

[–] DonPiano@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Full size as it would be printed on a physical page vs large size as it's in the database, maybe

[–] dumnezero@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Same.

It wasn't, the full-size is usually smaller, but I always forget to ignore it.

Unless 285kb is too much already

The meme is looking for the larger image, for some reason. Bot logic I guess.

When you read more papers from that publisher, you'll get it.
