What and idiot. They realize there are no logical precautions being taking the slow the spread of this. Yet still they trust these doctors to administer a safe and effective vaccine. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence from states like FL and TX indicating the lock downs and mask mandates do work. The headline is true. Doctors don't seem to care if they kill their patients, so why would you take their advice in regards to the vaccine?

Reply to In-Cells are becoming a Big Problem! by Wahaha
I love it. Disabling notifications for apps and silencing all notifications for texts helps a ton.
I hate having stuff in my pockets so when i visit the friend that I most often see, I usually either keep my phone on the back porch or inside his house while we're out in the yard, sitting around a fire.
Disabling notifications from occuring, and silencing the ones that matter (like text/calls) help a ton. No vibrate, straight up disable or silence. That removes the compulsion to look to see what is going on on your phone.

Reply to Why You Should (almost) NEVER Use Lazy Load by Wahaha
For those that need a TL;DR: if you have a CDN, like VanwaTech, you don't need lazy loading.

See, there were no kids in the 2010s, so that's why it's missing.

Interesting, I didn't know the proper terminology for this feature.

Okay, sure, not many things support WebP images even after a decade of its existence, and that the storage savings are marginal compared to removing trackers/ads/scripts, but I think you messed up baseline and progressive JPEG definitions. This might be a misunderstanding, though.
Anyway, progressive loading actually makes JPEG load the full image, just with decreased quality, unlike baseline JPEG, which loads half of the image. Here is a comparison I have made.
(note: I halved those images using dd
:
dd bs=[c/2] count=1 if=if.jpg of=of.jpg
where [c/2]
is the number of bytes in the image, halved and rounded up.)

If it was supported by everything, I wouldn't care. But it's now a decade old and still not supported by anything installed on my system designed to actually view images.
Also, since the storage gains from webp are kinda marginal - there are even situations when a jpg will be way smaller than a webp, it just adds to the grudge. If it at least delivered on the promises, people would maybe care to support it. But the way it is, a decade after its introduction, it's just a nuisance.
Also, cutting out trackers, ads and the scripts enabling them you could save way more traffic, than by shaving off a kilobyte or two per picture. Last I checked webp doesn't even support progressive loading. That's the feature that loads jpgs line by line on a slow connection, so you might decide to cancel after seeing half the picture.

Am I the only one who does not care about WebP images? I mean, IrfanView requires a plugin to read and save WebP images, but it's not really a problem, and Paint.NET natively supports WebP images since 4.2.5. But those software are only for Windows, so I might have an issue with WebP when I'll switch to Linux, I don't know.

I save a lot of memes and dumb shit from places like reddit and deal with this all too often.

*overrun
Which succeeded, if they wanted to acknowledge it, in weeks or months. Then they changed the criteria. Now every article treats "case" and "infection" and "positive test" (regardless of number of PCR cycles) as the exact same thing: a toxic danger to your fellow man which you should feel ashamed for allowing to exist.
It would be clever if it weren't so ham-fisted.
