lol we've reached peak webdev, gents. ;)
Well that's unexpected. 😄
Damian Yerrick@wyatt @kawa There have been a few attempts at "lossy PNG". One method, anticipated by the standard, involves reducing colors in a continuous-tone image to store it in indexed mode. The other involves adjusting pixels of 24-bit images to be better predicted by PNG's line filter, giving more zero bytes for DEFLATE to use

kabel42Uhhh, s—sure, #Thunderbird. You go right on ahead and reclaim those 218 GB. 🤷♂️
It's really something that my e-reader has better and more usable scrollbars than most desktop interfaces (Windows, MacOS, and Gnome). :/
The scrollbar is thin, but the grabbable region is large (kind of like the default in KDE), and easy to manipulate directly with your finger. This is actually better than #iOS' implementation, and many #Android apps.
If anyone's curious why I'm always doing the little #LossyPNG dance, it's because you can get some crazy good compression sacrificing color depth, instead of using a traditional lossy algorithm which gives you good compression by sacrificing detail:

No, KWrite is a plain text editor, and is basically just Kate-lite.
