Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarRecently growing pet peeve: People sharing a screenshot of some social network twoot. A few pixels of irrelevant avatar, a name and a short message.
The part that annoys me is that it's encoded as a JPEG or PNG and instead of using 200 bytes for the message and name it uses 1024 times that for the image.
Instead of repeating it in the alt text to make it accessible, just frigging omit the screenshot. Paste the fucking text. It's what quotation marks are for.
Nobody with a dialup modem would've ever thought this was anything but pure mindboggling insanity.
Bothers the shit out of me and I refuse to boost any such, no matter the message.

"Whole regions in the Philippines—including the capital city of Manila—just forced employers to institute a four-day workweek instead of a five-day workweek specifically to try to save energy.
Gas stations in Vietnam have started to run out of fuel. …
What was all this for?
'We’re doing this for the other parts of the world.'
I’m sure they’re delighted with that."

"The nation of Bangladesh just closed its universities because they need to conserve energy—they need to conserve electricity used by the universities—and they need to reduce the need for people to drive anywhere."

"A plastics plant north of Tokyo started to scale down production on Friday because they can’t get the raw materials they use in that production process—because they’re petroleum-based products.
It’s also aluminum and other commodities like that as facilities like smelters shut down for lack of fuel."

"Huge amounts of fertilizer pass through the Strait of Hormuz—fertilizer bound for ports all over the world, for crops all over the world, for foodstuffs all over the world.
Raw materials related to the petroleum industry are also being choked off."

"In Qatar and Kuwait and Bahrain, major energy companies have declared force majeure—which basically means they’re saying, hey, act of God, outside our control.
We can no longer be held to any contracts we previously signed.
As they all radically scale down their oil and gas production.
And it’s not only fuel—it’s also food."
