balderdash9, to historyporn in Barricade during the Battle of Cable Street (a clash between British police enabling a fascist march and anti-fascist activists), 1936

Miss the days when everyone wore a suit/dress. Now it’s just pajamas and yoga pants.

I use FastStone Image Viewer. Maybe there’s a plug-in I need to install?

I wish everyone would get on the same page so it would also be better for the end user.

It supports transparency like PNGs, and animations like GIFs, and is generally not a bad format on its own due to its balance of quality and file size.

The issue is that support for it is lacking; a large number of major media applications don’t have any WebP functionality, meaning that an image being WebP format only adds an irritating extra step where you have to convert it to PNG to use it. The other issue is that the adoption of the format online is disproportionately high, compared to its adoption by major app developers. It’s bizarrely common to download an image, only to find that you can’t use it because your software (I.e. Photoshop, Clip Studio, OBS) doesn’t support it, so now you have to either convert it to PNG somehow or hunt down a new file that isn’t a WebP. For visual artists of all kinds, this is a tremendous pain in the ass, and it’s pretty obvious that it doesn’t need to be that way in the first place.

I’m a layperson. I don’t care about what technical benefits it has on paper when its impractical to use. So I have to agree with OP on this one.

I don’t save comments often, but I saved this one. Trying to deal with this format is exceedingly tedious at scale

But why is it better? My experience is clicking on webp format opens in browser instead of my image viewer

balderdash9, (edited ) to memes in Two Party System. Why.

Sweden, Germany, Colombia, Australia, etc. Ranked/Alternative/Proportional voting. We should have multiple choices without fear of voting for less popular options being useless. With our current system we basically can’t vote for third parties.

I’ve voted democrat for every election I can remember. And while I like to see my “team” win as much as the next guy, at some point you realize that other countries have better electoral systems in place.

Meanwhile, we’ve all acquiesced to this 2-party winner takes all bullshit.
