Did you ever hear the tragedy of WebP The Efficient? I thought not. It’s not a story the GIF gang would tell you. It’s an image legend.
WebP was a new format of pictures, so efficient and so lightweight, it could use modern compression to influence the web pages to actually load faster…
It had such a knowledge of the user's needs that it could even keep transparency and animations from dying.
The power of modern computing is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
It became so widespread… The only thing we had to be afraid of, was people insisting on using formats from the 90's, which eventually, of course, they did.
Unfortunately, we didn't teach the noobs everything we knew about compression, then the noobs killed the format by converting it to PNG and sharing that.
Ironic. We could save the web from being too slow, but not from the users.
Kill him. Kill him now.
Seriously.... Please don't. Or at least don't ever share that shit back to the web. It gets even worse when people then rename the png to jpg and it's a whole fucking mess. I've been trying to figure out where the hell all those bloated hi-res pngs all over the web come from, until I stumbled upon this answer.
Just download an updated app that can read webp for crying out loud. Do people convert x265 to QuickTime too?
Besides, everywhere where I've encountered webp in the wild, the image url has something like ?format=webp at the end, so you can just delete that and get the original, if you really have to.
It was on by default for me, but I'm also not downloading pictures to repost so it's fine.
What client is that?
Liftoff
Good damn it...
I've got jerboa, thunder, wefwef... And now liftoff.
It's like I'm going for the fucking infinity gauntlet
Thanks!
Edit: STOP FUELING MY ADDICTION :'(

Thanks.
Oof you're further down the rabbit hole I see :']
What arctius, lemming,summit and voyager?
The first 3 are Android foss apps, the last one is a webapp. Arctius was known as Fennec before, Voyager as wefwef.
