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.

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.

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.

I think webm/vp9 is pretty spectacular when the compression is maxed out. Obviously, it has noticeable artifacts, but a lot of times I just need to give someone a rough video. However, webp is not anywhere near as impressive. After a few attempts, I realized the stated 25-34% improvement was massively over stated.

Short answer, no. WebP is a mixed bag. Might be better or might be worse. No compelling reason to make a switch, yet, unless faced with very specific scenarios.

There's a different perspective and that is that girls are basically like dogs. Some call them perpetual children. What it means is that they need someone that keeps them in check: a man.

It's not a coincidence that women are never responsible for anything under feminism and that it's always the nearest guy they blame. There's actually some truth to that.

You might want to read the manual for some insights into this perspective: https://ramble.pw/f/4chan/2621/manual-to-women

I don't think divorce is bad, it's what the feminazis have mutated it into...basically a State sanctioned get-rich-quick scheme for golddiggers!

I would disagree. Those women should of divorced their guy who was obviously way too good for them, and by doing so, the freed guys now have a chance to learn from their mistake, and make better choices in the future. The bitches now have a chance to marry (or just breed with) thugboys...who will treat them as shitty as they treated the ex....a mutually abusive relationship is exactly what such gals deserve.

About that article.. seems like these women simply shouldn't have divorced the guy they already had. Why was divorce made legal anyway. Seems to have only been a major demerit for society.
