He's a witch! Burn him!

But that's patently untrue: take this 10 MB example TIFF file as an example.

  • PNG Compression, max compress (=quality 9):

    convert file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff -quality 9 test.png
    
  • JPG Encoding, 99% quality (=quality 99):

    convert file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff -quality 99 test.jpg
    

Final file size comparison:

9.7M Sep  5 13:21 file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff
1.7M Sep  5 13:22 test.jpg
2.5M Sep  5 13:22 test.png

PNG is significantly larger, and difference in quality between them is negligible

why though? The graphics represented in the screen are already squashed and scaled, so you wouldn't be preserving their quality in any case. If you're worried about text, JPEG should still be able to handle it under high quality settings

Yep. I don't recommend shit anymore to family members because it's either:

a) not what they want (the proprietary service was better)

b) you will be doing damage control for the rest of your life

I agree, the good websites are far and few between. I just miss people like Sheldon Brown who poured their entire knowledge and expertise into a website out of a labour of love, rather than for profit

I actually think it would be good uniting force for a divided country:

  • The "it's a hoax" portion of the population will simply become zombies
  • The "we love guns" portion of the population can now take their life frustrations out on the zombies
  • The "we need to fix this world" portion of the population will learn to fight too and provide vital aid and supplies to the (likely growing) "we love guns" group
  • The "we need run away from this madness" portion of the population will just hunker down and play on their smartphones

Either way, everyone kind of wins

Isn't that what Gurl with the Dragon Tattoo was?

  • "Shall I sing you a song, Dave?"
  • "Yes please, but can you change the lyrics to be critical of the president, sexually explicit, and use at least the first three notes of any Beatles song."

Eh, series today still use this trope. "Oh no, I'm out of battery" or the comedic "My battery is at 1%, let's take a selfie!"

I’m surprised they aren’t offsetting the cost by selling all our data to language learning models like everyone else is

Hah. Hahaha. Hahahahahahaahahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
