I feel guilty for taking up >14 MB on that last toot, but the downscaler on my phone didn't seem to have a batch mode. :(

But then again, I think Ad?min is def' gonna be ok with this one ;)

@rl_dane

It's a worthy cause. :)

Also GoToSocial automatically does compression and what not.

@amin

That was the size downloaded (looking at /tmp/tutfile1111111yaddayadda.jpg)

Random aside, why the heck are people still enforcing three-letter extensions? That's so dumb. :P

@ddlyh @rl_dane

Speaking of, the "P" should pronounced as an "F". After all, it stands for "Photographic".

I will die on this hill.

@ddlyh @amin

JFIF is the container format. JPEG is the spec/algorithm.

...as I understand it...

@rl_dane @ddlyh

Strictly speaking, "JPEG" is the name of the group that made the spec. "Joint Photographic Experts Group". ;)

@mirabilos @amin @ddlyh

I'm not a fan of providing retronyms for abbreviations necessitated by crappy operating systems and/or crappy conventions.

It should always be .jpeg, in my book.

@ddlyh @mirabilos @amin

I'm used to it BUT WHY DOUGH

@ddlyh @mirabilos @amin

I'd like someone to test whether or not a dos/win3.x machine can view a webpage ending in .html

I'm thinking it totally could, because it's not saving the entire filename locally. Even when cached it's probably saved to something like ABCD3991.HTM and has a db or lookup table or something.

Because even in the really early days of the web, individual web pages were often longer than 8 characters.
