Don’t you know, fat people can’t be made fun of. It’s the skinny people who are funny, see!

Cuz they just tend to be slow. I don’t know how these apps behave on a 1500€ phone, but I had a pretty beefy computer at my disposal these last 2 years and web apps are just always slower, usually much slower.

And back to phones, the UI of graphics web apps rarely considers them. Or they simplify the UI to the point of being unusably dumb.

And Paint… Yes true, but again do you understand “phone”?

I think it’s the transporter accident from ST:TMP. I didn’t know they can procreate.

Yea it’s not full-blown Photoshop layers in this regard. Still, with the amount of other stuff it has and for the price (or with just small ads and no fullscreen video ads or other crap), I really can’t complain. I’ve replaced amost every other app with a foss one, but there’s no good foss image editor. Pocket Paint and Litrato can do a few things here and there but not much and both seem abandoned.

Ed: Ok so PP isn’t abandoned and is quite nice in its own way but just doesn’t have the practicality for photo editing or meme making.

I sometimes use online apps when I need something specific and Christ that’s like the 6th level of hell on my old slow phone… Tho honestly I can’t imagine how an online app can ever be equal to a local one

Is that your actual experience? Cuz I know piling on Reddit is funny and all, but this seems a smidge exaggerated.

I’m not against gif in general as a format, nor for the specific use case I mentioned. (Even tho afaik webp or others can do animations and transparency too.)

But you know that when people say “gif” they really mean “short video”, and don’t know the difference. And so when they are making a short video and saving it, they see “gif” in export options and choose that, because they think that’s what it is.

A while ago I was debating with someone who was looking for an optimal way to encode gifs - as actual gif the format - of gameplay videos. Like, several minutes of HD gameplay, and they were using gif for that.

Similar problem is with PNG which people use for just about anything, like screenshots of Instagram posts.

If using more modern, better formats means killing old formats but also making the whole internet faster and me needing less storage space or not needing to go through conversion process every time, and maybe even eventually eliminating the ridiculously overcompressed or 100x recompressed or 8-bit dithered crap that are supposedly images and “gifs” these days, then I’m definitely for it.

Oh come on, every cpu in the last 15 years has hardware support for multiple simultaneous playbacks of h264 video, and in the last 10 years x265 too.

1000 gifs on a screen, yea that’s definitely not a page I ever want to see, thanks. Why the hell would I need that?

And yea sure obviously gif is efficient on bare metal cpu, because it’s a format made for 33 MHz CPU without a floating point. It was also made with a handful specific use cases in mind and specced accordingly, so it has absolutely no place in anything else than animated clipart loops. Don’t even argue, please, this is so silly.

Weird. Did you try through catbox.moe? That’s what I use to post images. I don’t have experience with animated stuff though, sorry.

This animation bugs out even when I just view it in plain browser or in jerboa, looks like a compression problem. Is that a converted gif? The artifacting looks consistent with gif compression rather than webp, so probably the software you’re using to convert it is reading it wrong. Try some of the online converters, maybe this https://cloudconvert.com/gif-to-webp (it’s what I use to convert gifs to mp4)

Nothing except that it’s a horribly obsolete, bloated, barely compressed format with shit quality that’s misused for a completely different purpose than what it’s meant for.

When I download gifs of stuff I can’t find anywhere else, I convert them to mp4. A 50 MB gif turns into a 300 kB mp4.

So… I guess that’s wrong.

Death to gif

Yea it was more typically a cesspit of insults and weird porn. This is an improvement.

But again I don’t see why it matters. If you browse /all, you get what you get. The cheap garbage on YouTube’s Hot is much worse.

It’s the “most popular” from all around the world, of course it’s gonna be generic. It’s either this stuff, or more Ukraine war, or memes.

Nothing is preventing you from scrolling down, or switch to different sorting, or watch specific subs… Honestly, going to the Hot section, and expecting something suited to your specific tastes, and being upset that it’s too generic - that’s pretty ironic.

Haha I was just trying out the Stealth client and saw those posts.

And, um… What’s wrong with that exactly? Seems like useful debates. I took a peek at the movie opening one.

Look at Lemmy top posts for hour/Xhours/day, and it’s nothing but memes.
