You can either promote JPEG-XL or say yiff for the rest of your life. The choice is yours.

I love seeing people mention JPEG-XL in the wild, I wish it was implemented in more programs and websites too. JPEG-XL was always the superior image file format. I'm sorry if facts hurt the feelings of the webp-Kings, but them's the facts. And I will dig my own grave on this hill. Good day!
There are dozens of us! !jpegxl@lemmy.world
JXL is fucking crazy good and I take Google's decision to stand in its way personally.
Basically my intro to improved jpg is the Library of Congress Sanborn insurance maps. Either download and archive a 300MB TIFF or a 20 something MB JPG2000.
GIMP is a fine viewer for me, but it is incredible
No thanks, I'll just continue to pronounce the g in graphics correctly.
One problem: it's Joint Photographic Experts Group, so by that logic, Jpeg is actually Jfeg... I agree with the pronunciation, but your logic is flawed.
NOOOOOOOO DONT DO THIS NOOOOO
your logic is flawed
It isn't, really. There's no rule or other logical reason to pronounce GIF in any other way, unless you count author intent. In which case you would have to start every phone call with "ahoy-hoy" like Mr Burns since that's what Bell proposed.

That is not how acronyms work tho.
It kinda is. Unless you have a REALLY good reason not to, you pronounce the letters in the same way as you would if you were saying the whole word.
There is no such reason in this case.
No it isn't, you pronounce an acronym as if it was its own word. The A and O in NATO are pronounced nothing like the ones in Atlantic and Organisation.
Its own word starting with the same letter variant as the first component word.

Giraffics?
Nah, that's the novelty exercise class I joined last Tuesday.
It's also the training program for your exotic pet.
I wonder which order of discovery would be the least preposterous for the two things to be connected: finding out about the exercise fad at my semi-weekly training sesh with Gary or getting the idea of giraffe ownership from today's hot new animal imitation workout 🤔
This is the way.
JPEG-XL

When were you when gif is pronounced? I was sit at home shitposting when Piotr ring:
"Gif is yiff"
"No."
YES
what's the origin of this comic panel?
The Onion (as in the news satire place) has a recurring comic with political cartoons and such (though of course being the onion, its meant to make fun of such cartoons). It comes from one of those, though I dont remember which one in particular for context.
Absolutely perfect usage.
So were yifs animated in the Old England?
It's simple to remember. Hard G as in graphics; not soft G like a degenerate.
The creator advocated for soft G. I think the creator is wrong.
and your thoughts are correct.
because yiff is life
Old English? Are we going to start pronouncing the k in knee, knife and knight and g in gnaw, gnat and gnome as well?
Wait, you don't?
Do you have a problem with þat?
This screen shot is 7 years old.
Has the pronunciation changed since then?
No. Nonono those can't be. He. HE WAS RIGHT. HE WAS RIGHT!
Wouldnt those be pronounced as S so it would be YISS?
Those are Fs not to be confused with long Ss (ſ)
My argument makes about as much sense as using Old English to pronounce a modern file format.
It's YISS now.
