This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When did it change from .jpg to .webp?
Must be a Zoomer thing
Webp is just a more data efficient format, lots of sites are switching to it because it can greatly decrease bandwidth and storage costs.
I don't think anyone here was unfamiliar with what a .webp was besides maybe @[email protected]. OP was just pointing out it's weird to see a greentext using anything besides .jpg
The only problem is that basically no software supports it, so if you're saving pictures for a slideshow or something, webp is impossible to use.
Yeah, what is up with that?
Most photo software supports so many formats, and it is not like webp is a brand new one. It is also widely used on the internet by this point.
Why does it take so long to get support on any of them without installing a separate plugin?
WebP was shoehorned in by Google through Chrome. Other browsers felt pressured to support it as to not be left behind. Other software didn't feel as pressured and is still resisting adding support to this day. Same thing with WebM.
I'm on the upper end of generation Z and I've never heard or seen webp at all. .jpg is the one I've seen used.
Well I would hope there aren't any 290 pound 13-year-old gen alphas out there
I will make one! It shall be a flesh gollum!
Golem*, unless you’re planning on it yearning for precioussssss
Yes.
Where my .jxl stans at?
I was going to reply with a .jxl meme, but it turns out Lemmy doesn't support it, which is a genuinely better .jxl joke than anything I would've made.
