webp is cool, but I much prefer JPEG-XL
No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Image file format with excellent compression. It’s designed for web browsers, so what you’re probably running into is compatibility with other programs. It’s fairly easy to convert though to GIF or JPEG formats though.
This seems like the crowd to have ffmpeg installed. Ffmpeg will convert webp to jpeg real easy, don't even need to specify a converter.
They’re a pain in the ass sometimes because I can’t say, download one and send them in certain chat programs. But you can use a program like Gimp to convert them easily.
Here’s a tip: a lot of websites actually store and serve multiple copies of an image in different formats because not all browsers support newer formats. If you change the name of the file you’re viewing in the browser from .webp to .jpg, chances are you’ll see a jpeg version of the same image provided by the same server.
I'm sure some CMSes do that, but as a web dev I can assure you I absolutely do not
I stick to png
All programs that I use support them - what are these ancient apps that don't?
Well when I try to send one in Discord it prompts the other person to download the file instead of embedding it for them to look at
Oh yeah, and they don't even show up to send in Messenger, they just error there.
Newer and better format then PNG/gif/etc. The downside is that not all image viewers or file explorers support it yet, though it's not exactly new either.
I don't know what they are other than a file format; but I also don't know what everyone's problem with them is. They open in every viewer or editor I've used just fine so you can convert them by just saving as a new format if you're trying to reupload them somewhere.
Usually you can inspect the web page and find the original jpg to download. Its annoying though.
