My atheist configuration doesn't allow me to believe in daemons: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10022442/37361421-26026212-26f3-11e8-8e97-d5136bce5e41.gif

Why's it a static gif

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That's... a great question. What's the purpose of a gif with only one frame?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're young. Young enough to have to google my username meaning. Maybe also google what GIF means: Graphics Interchange Format. Long tima go you could find images on the internet, and they were always GIF, because JPG didn't exist.

But yes, it's quite strange nowadays, I agree Oh, yes, I used the net before smileys were a thing :-)

I'm not quite that young. Netizen is a "citizen of the internet", IIRC. More specifically, it's a portmanteau of "internet" and "citizen".

I had also heard what the meaning of GIF was, though not so often that I could remember it off the top of my head.

I'm not quite as old as the JPG format, but I do still remember using dial-up. I still remember accidentally logging into the internet when my dad was on the phone one day. I could hear his voice through the computer speakers. I immediately closed the browser. It was something that'd, surprisingly, never happened while I was on the computer before.

The same purpose as a PNG or JPEG?

You know that GIF is not specifically a format for animations, right? It’s just a lossless image format.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but it's almost always used for animations. Seeing one that's not animated just feels... weird.

Now, that’s just a recent development. 20 years ago it was a common format for images on the interwebs.
