It's an epidemic

transparent

It downloaded in webp. Shit.

What's wrong with WebP? It's a modern format with smaller file sizes, and most software supports it. It's very commonly used online these days instead of the legacy formats.
- I download memes to share them. Messenger does not like webp. It literally won't allow me to send the image. I then have to edit the image just so I can send it. Now I have two copies of the same meme.
- Photoshop only recently supported webp natively. Windows barely supports webp.
  Inb4 "have you heard of linux"
- most software supports it
  Definitely not my experience
- Good luck using webp in any kind of collaborative diagramming software.

This may be my favorite meme of this template. Wow.

I like this one:
- Sync for Lemmy decided to absolutely destroy the quality of your image so I thought being unable to read it was the joke, but I still decided to spend what ended up being WAY too much time to figure it out from the few pixels available... and then I accidentally tapped on it and the normal readable version opened. This multilayered brain fart and subsequent realization humbled me in an odd way, feels weirdly good.
  Here's what it looks like:
It’s beautiful

This is one of those memes that divides people. I'm proud to say I'm on the side who guffawed loudly and drew glances from strangers.

I'm chuckling on the toilet myself
I thought this one was a quality joke for sure.

What a .svg

We're not saying svg is bad, are we? It's vector graphics which is great for scaling your images. (For non-photo images)
- The pun is "what a savage"

On PC you can often drag an image before you download it.
You'll see if it's really transparent or just with a checkerboard pattern.

Chefs Kiss

I wrote a TV guide app for Blackberry many years ago, and for the parts of the grid where the data had not yet downloaded, I drew (in code) a light checkerboard background like this. Got into a long-running argument with my company's UX guy over it because he said it was a visual element that implied transparency when there wasn't actually any transparency. So pointless - it wasn't an app for image manipulation in the first place. I gave the darker squares a light blue tint and he left me alone, and then Blackberry died a quick death anyway.

The moral of the story is one that I took to heart for all my future mobile development: nothing matters, just go home and smoke another bowl.

Some real wisdom in this one.
Eh I’d agree with the UX guy. We get away with a lot flexibility in software dev that we can’t in other engineering, like mechanical or civil

It happened to me just a few weeks ago!
